Quoting: RI McGuillicutty But I've heard people say "riding the underground railroad" for years, even people who obviously knew... it wasn't an actual underground train, or railroad. Like when, in Football, a player "Rides the Pine Pony"... they are neither riding a pine pony, nor is it actually a Pine Pony anyway. They're on the bench, nothing more. I imagine the Underground Railroad, was quite a ride, even if it's not in a legitimate sense of taking a "ride" on a "railroad"... Now, if she mentioned something about people getting on an actual train... I'd be right there with ya... ...but not this time. have to go with this guy. It is unfounded criticism. People speak metaphorically all the time. If it was a true metaphor, I concede. But given the number of Obama history gaffes over the last 4+ years...it wasn't unwarranted not to bring this up. |

It's so embarrassing and pathetic. Quoting: Jericho9 "Now, back when our great-grandparents were riding that Underground Railroad..." [link to blogs.suntimes.com] Attention Michelle Obama, the money was allocated in 2009 to fix the failing schools. Where is the money? [link to www.seattlepi.com] Quoting: Phennommennonn May 11, 2009 855 a.m. PT Obama wants to see 5,000 failing schools close By LIBBy QUAID AP EDUCATION WRITER WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama wants to see 5,000 failing schools close and reopen with new principals and teachers over the next five years. Education Secretary Arne Duncan says kids have only one shot at a good education. He said Monday that chronically underperforming schools need a new start. Obama doesn't have authority to close schools himself. That power rests with local school districts and states. Duncan said the idea is to be "more targeted and more strategic." "We really want to put a laser-like focus on those schools that have historically under-performed," Duncan said in an interview with The Associated Press. The administration's goal is for the lowest-performing 1,000 schools - about 1 percent of schools nationwide - to close and reopen each year for the next five years. But the president will have unprecedented money to offer schools from a federal school-turnaround fund. And states have an incentive to act in the federal economic stimulus law, because they must help failing schools improve to be eligible for the dollars. Combined with the budget plan released last week, Obama could have as much as $5 billion to facilitate school turnarounds, which could translate to $1 million for every school that is closed and reopened. The federal school turnaround program gets about $500 million a year, and the stimulus legislation boosted funding to $3.5 billion. Obama's budget would add another $1.5 billion by shifting dollars away from traditional formula programs. The plan for failing schools is part of an effort to fundamentally change perceptions about what works in education. The president has already channeled an unprecedented amount into the traditional formula-driven infrastructure that funds elementary, middle and high schools in his economic stimulus law. But Obama also plans big boosts for newer and, some argue, untested ideas, plowing more money into school-turnaround programs as well as merit pay for teachers. "Here's a chance to do something dramatically different," Duncan told the AP. "I don't want to lose that opportunity." (This version CORRECTS to $1 million for every school, not $1 billion.) ) Thread: Obama wants to see 5,000 failing schools close Just because YOU don’t believe in the Rougarou; or the Loup Garou, don’t make you safe; No !
