nope, it was their benifits that was slashed.

provide better access to health care for children of poor families?

Dude.

Capitalizing Isn't That Difficult.

Hit {Shift-Key} then press the letter.

Use it at the beginning of sentences and for proper nouns.

Also, are you sure you are not Al Franken?

I tried looking through the Sun Sentinel website looking for that article. Could not find that exact one. Sorry, I don't live in "the sunshine state" and don't get this paper. Help me, help you to help me find this.

I'm guessing for a living you own one of those T-shirt places that cater to the local tourist crowd and you sell t-shirts. The T-shirts that say things like "Party-Hardy Ft.Lauderdale" and "I'm a Bud-Man" with a picture of a cannabis leaf on it.

Either that or you work at Epcot as a Cast-member to one of the attractions where you have to be really nice to people all day.
But you really despise it so you had to do something to deal with the angst the job causes besides Haldol prescriptions.

Thus the creation of Shadorelm, your internet-alter ego. A Hero who painstakingly defends the reactionary views of the average Democrat who cannot spell, cite information, make coherent arguments and lives in the shadows of the greater Ft.Lauderdale area.

Woohaaa!!

New schools won't do crap if the kids in the already-existing ones are failing. Sadly, for most schools there's nothing that throwing money at the situation can do. It'll take public humiliation to get a lot of kids to actually care about school. Stop the notion that cool kids don't make straight A's and that will fix the problem right there. (Before you flame me for that, I've seen schools in my area get huge government grants while simultaneously cutting Latin, cosmetology, and auto shop from the curriculum completely, and building a big shiny new football stadium. I've also seen coaches' salaries go up while other less incompetent teachers' salaries do not. GFY, public education! t(-_-t))

In related news, it seems that now liquor stores on the borders of the state are going to be doing a lot more business. Yay liquor! =P

Uh, wrong. New schools almost always get the best teachers out of the pool of ones available, and generally hire better ones than old schools have. New schools are *almost* always better than old ones. Be it from better technology available, etc, the learning process almost always advances when new schools are built. Building new schools also controls crowding issues.

Yeah, it cant possibly be the fault of the teachers who pass out worksheet's and play solitare all day


Novel idea: Hold the teachers responsible for being shi[/b]tty. Thankfully they have unions to protect them. I guess that means hire non-shi[b]tty teachers in new non-shi[/b]tty schools and hope they don't talk to the shi[b]tty ones and realize they can do nothing and still get paid.
