Re: Is this for real?
Posted by to johnv on 4/04/08

    Sorry johnv I am a real conservative and terribly disappointed in the
    Republicans that hold office. What I find appalling is you know-it-alls
    who claim to be 'educators' and I use that term loosely that condone
    paddling. Violents begets violence.

    Its still interesting that none of you would answer the question, Do you
    paddle your own children? Still waiting for an answer. Do unto kids as
    what you would do to your own.......hypocracy to the greatest degree,
    and the hypocracy stems from the left that has seaped so far into the
    government school ways, nothing will get better.

    The only thing that will make it better is Universal School Choice.
    Would love to see that happen in Arkansas. But noooooo...... you know
    teacher unions and all the rest would never let their 'piece of the pie'
    be taken away.

    Too bad. We have a failing government school system, and this board is
    prime example on why.
