i was to be done with this post, but then i read in todays paper that buckwheat, ah...sorry, spanky doesn't know anyone who voted because of color.....yea right. better get out from under that rock, you are going to lose your tan....
Spanky, they have tissue paper at the dollar store, and it is cheap like you like it!! So get over there and dry your crying eyes as the governor, two senators, and the president are Dems, you know, the working mans' party. You must be a millionaire or delusional to have voted for the Rongmy. Thanks God that Obama won.

My last comment wasn't posted so I'll keep this brief. I'm not in denial; I have said repeatedly that things are not perfect in WCPS.

They won't allow me post links so you'd just have to go to the WCPS website to find the school report card. It is not a perfect school, but they are accredited, based on SOL scores. Yes, there are now AMOs to contend with, that's how the politicians do it. They create standards, the school systems spend tons of resources learning how to jump through hoops, and then they(politicians) create newer (tougher) standards.
