For all those that think Dubya is the greatest thing since slice bread,
this link tells you what he thinks all schools should be like. I've
snipped the major part that I thought was particularly disgusting and ever
so Gothardish!

"KIPP has had the full support of Texas Gov. George W. Bush, the nation’s
leading advocate of the program."

<snip>

  "KIPPsters" as these students have come to be known, attend school from
7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and spend four more hours in the
classroom on Saturdays with two hours of homework every night. And there is
no long break for summer fun as these kids also spend one month of each
summer in classes."

<snip>

“Governor Bush is a big proponent of charter schools and especially of the
KIPP Academy."

<snip>

If this is the kind of approach to improving public education that George
W. Bush has in mind for the rest of the country, it is little wonder so
many educators, in Texas and out, are saying, “Let George do it!”

Weelllll, IMHO, this is a prison sentence without a trial! Oh, and if you
read the article, that evil, the NEA, that supposedly is only supporting
Gore is out in full force behind Dubya and the KIPP idea!
