[...] Despite their serious and persistent business problems, however, newspapers still have considerable clout, especially in local and state politics. Imagine replacing liberal editors at your local rag with conservative ones.

Does anyone know of the story of the new elementary school teacher who teaches her class very advanced stuff for several months. An administrator, trying to figure out why the kids were doing so well, asked her what she was doing to get all the kids to excell. She responds that since all the kids had such high IQ they would be able to handle it. That’s when she is informed that the number next to each kids name (which she mistook for their IQ) was their locker number.

I don’t know if the story is real (Snopes doesn’t have anything on it), but it reveals the belief that when we expect more from our kids they will rise to the challenge.

Aim high, hit high. Aim low, vote Democrat.
