Malloy talking about the *president's No Child Left Behind

From reading about the NCLB deal - it's a major windfall for McGraw-Hill publishing. They're a long time friend of the Bush family. It goes way, way back. Printing materials for schools brings in big bucks for them. So, it's just another deal to get $$$$ for the friends of the First Crime Family.

1. I have a teaching credential and I really hate textbooks.

I think much more can be learned from real books, but that's just me. :shrug:

It's been a long time since I taught, but text books tend to be too "convenient" and full of lies.

2. I went to Catholic schools 1-12. Nuff said, right?!
