Michael Sokolove has a very good NYT piece on how Tom Corbett’s totally unnecessary budget cuts are going to roll back recent education gains in Levittown:
Fifty-one percent of Bristol Township’s students qualify for free or reduced lunch. When schools were first measured under the No Child Left Behind act, the district scored near the bottom of state rankings. Through smaller class sizes and more intense attention given to lagging students, it is now near the middle. “The knock on our schools was you couldn’t get a good education here,” James Moore, the principal at Truman High, told me one recent afternoon. “Nobody can say that anymore.”It is that progress, though, that is threatened. In a preliminary budget passed by the school board, as many as 28 of the 125 teachers at Truman High could lose their jobs. Double periods for struggling math and English students — credited for the district’s better test scores — would no longer be possible. Advanced Placement courses might be combined with regular honors classes. Art and music at the elementary level would be cut back.
I heard SARAH PALIN was eating all the seed corn…
…and it is driving the MSM nuts.
What is up with Anthony Weiner tweeting photos of his weiner to young college girls?
Why did Weiner not contact the FBI concerning the alleged breach of security?
What about all of Molovinsky's scary brown people?
Maybe they are eating the seed corn…
What's up with Weiner's Weiner?

Sarah Palin spelled backwards
Why does the Progressive Liberal Main Stream Media obsess over SARAH PALIN?
Is it because she is HOT?
Seriously, the MSM tells us all day long that SP is just a stupid, whoring-slut who knows jackshit — so why are they so upset if she will not give them a copy of her bus stop schedule?
Makes absolutely ZERO SENSE, bub.
