Why may I ask would anyone want to force radio or TV to put people on their programs that have proven they can't cut it on their own?

There is a reason Air America has filed for Chapter 11 and been sold multiple times.

This is also why I believe we are reaching a point where the endless funding for education is going to come to end unless those funds are translated to results. For too long we have been giving them a blank check, in some states $20,000+ per year for a 1st grader is what we are spending when we should be hauling parents to establish them as teachers at home. posted 07/23/2008 at 22:25:50

"We are Americans and we are getting an F in educating our children"

It's great that you want government to do a better job on education but the real fault lies within the home itself and the parents. I am a strong believer that if the parents don't make education a priority it doesn't matter what government does or a teacher says. posted 07/23/2008 at 20:35:18
