Bush urges parents to take responsibility for their children's education

Yeah, but he just said what a lot of teachers want to hear, especially those struggling with ill-mannered brats and no support from home. Good for Bush on this.

[WhiteGuy]

Absolutely correct.

I'm already paying twice, those without children should be exempt.

[wingnuts'nbolts]

Don't get your knickers in a bunch. Don't guess that's who he was addressing, do you?

[wingnuts'nbolts]

My, My! C Student? He is right, manners matter in this world, teachers should not be intimidated by thier students. It is the parent's responsibility to raise civilized children. The kids I see are spoiled little brats and thier good parents don't even seem to notice. It appears, from your response, the two little apples of your eye may not get full benefit of civilized manners training, but then, you made it through flight school, so you must have some degree of civil behavior.

[SBeck]

As usual, a nonsensical response from a good manners drone. I don't trust Bush when it comes to education because he didn't demonstrate the discipline necessary to rise above mediocrity during his own unstoried, academic career (please don't bore me with stories of his MBA, an MBA is one of the most useless degrees I've ever seen).

Oh, by the way, you crossed an undrawn line when you attacked my kids. Attack me all you want with your half-witted, ill-informed, sophmoric, puerile sarcasm, dink, but the second you attack my kids you have made a serious mistake.

[wingnuts'nbolts]

I surely wasn't attacking your kies, only thier ill mannered and thick headed father.
