and give credit to a Republican governor

Yes, I must admit, I am now a bigger fan of Mike Thomas simply because I see he is willing to be fair. He still writes columns criticizing Gov Bush on various matters, but whenever the topic turns to education, I notice Mike comes out swinging in defense of Gov Bush.

And, it really saddens me that some people are so partisian in this state that they can not celebrate the very real achievements of this GOP governor -- and these FL students.

Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Truth Addict. BTW, I meant to write you back on the other thread as well, but I was so tired! :)

I admire your humility in neglectig to mention the role that you and the other dedicated teachers had to play in this success, but you really deserve at least some of the credit. Thanks for a job well done!

I understand completely; no offense taken. Your tireless efforts to keep us informed on educational issues here on FR is greatly appreciated.
