'I have so many state standards I have to teach concept-wise, it takes time away from what I find most valuable, which is to have them inquire about the world,' said one teacher."
They're doing it wrong. It should be "How do I teach the students to inquire about the world and still meet the state standards?". When you have a well designed curriculum, that's what happens. A side effect is that the you don't need endless practice tests to pass the state tests, at worst, you just loose a day when the students take those tests.
This will never happen as school administrators are extremely risk adverse. They will never be able to accept the risk that the reason their students didn't do well is that the open source textbook they used didn't meet the state/federal curriculum standards. The state/federal education agencies will also never certify that any text book meets their curriculum standards.
The damage the current administration has done will last for quite a while after the next election. Do you really think the loyalties of the judges that have been appointed in the past 6 years are to the American people? That is the scary part of what this administration has done.
If you feel this strongly about it, when does your tour of duty in Iraq start? Or are you following in Dick Cheney's footsteps and letting others fight in your place?
It's no surprise that another Bush supporter might gloss over that issue
When they stop taking credit for a good economy, I'll stop blaming them for a bad economy.

As for countries like Iran, Hussein's Iraq, Pakistan, etc, they were broken up for a reason. Very simply: we can't trust them as far as we can kick them. September 11 only proves that. Usama bin Laden and al Qaeda where responsible for 9/11 not Iran, not Pakistan and certainly not Iraq.
Most politicians say whatever the group they are speaking in front of want to hear. You have to look at what they actually do. That takes more effort than most people are willing to put in.
Tax cuts? good for you, great for the idle rich, bad for your kids.
Invade Iraq|n? good for Haliburton, bad for your kids.
CBS news has the highest percentage of tv viewers after FOX who think that Saddam is responsible for 9/11. That's not a liberal view point, but what the current administration wants us to believe. It is a myth that the news media is liberal. The media just parrots the PR fluff that the administration puts out.
Places that ask for your phone number? Give them a local massage parlour's number. (yes, I have one memorized for that purpose) Nah, I just ask them for theirs. The younger salesclerks get quite embarrassed when someone old enough to be their father asks for their phone number. Strangely, the older sales clerks have no problem giving me their phone number.
Gee, I thought the difference between a liberal and a conservative was their sense of social responsibility and greed. It has nothing to do with winners.
Well, I don't know about your perceptions of what a consumer wants, but my mother in law would disagree. I set up a Linux box for her about a month ago, and have had no complaints. It does what she wants it to do. You can't ask for more than that.

Can they really tell the difference?
You're assuming that Joe & Mike are able to intelligently evaluate the risks. Do you really work in a place where the company tells you everything?
What makes you think that they won't move the entire facility where the labor AND real estate costs are lower?
Interesing site. Curious how the average speed on the real time view never exceeds the speed limit. It just seems to plateau at that value.
You only get to pick 2.
You're assuming that the FBI is actively listening, instead of recording it to be played back later.
Insightful? that is a troll.

Just how do you think controls the media in the U.S.? It's not the liberals.

Of course, the new economic model would require a fee for every letter written by the pen.
