Both Bushes have spoken at the schools in my neighborhood--Laura at the elementary school and the President at the high school. Those schools are among the ones that do not produce a single acceptable SAT score, even for the survivors who manage to graduate. Much of the money from the previous "special" sales tax was stolen, and schools slated for reconstruction were simply boarded up. Relatives of school officials are routinely promoted to supervisory positions with high salaries and few responsibilities. And all of this costs more than the best private school in town. I sure wish the Bushes had mentioned the magic word: VOUCHERS.

""Fairer than looking at high school SAT scores, she suggested, would be to focus on the elementary schools. There, "I think you should see incremental progress." ""
