No Jeb fans here

In the wake of Jeb Bush's conference on education reforms, we asked you whether you thought the former governor had a positive or negative influence on Florida's public schools. Here's how you responded to the question "Was Jeb Bush a positive force for Florida education?"

• No, he destroyed the public school system. 497 votes - 87%
• Yes, he created a reform model for the nation to follow. 46 votes - 8%
• Wait a second. Charlie Crist is governor now, right? 31 votes - 5%

Our new poll asks your views on the role of elected superintendent. Florida is just one of three states to still let voters pick a politician school system CEO, and our own Pasco County is the largest school district in the country to still elect rather than appoint. Click in your opinion.

[Just an idea]

Could The Gradebook make this emailable so we can inform those
in attendance at Jeb's spin session, I mean summit? I know people in NYC who owuld like to see this! Bloomberg excluded.

Say it isn't so...is this a pre-"I wanna run for office" campaign to an "I love Bush" scenario? Please, can someone tell Jeb that we do not have Imperialism in the US nor entitlement politics...contrary to his broithers precedent set.
I am over the name and verb of Bushed...go away. Stay away from the partisan politics and lack of introspection Bush legacy has convinced us of...their DNA is tyrannical. No thanks, seek a seat in the house of commons where Dynasty is a keyword. We need knew blood to govern and lead us in education and politics and Bush isn't new blood...rather, its tainted. The GOP bneeds redesign, rework and a re-do. To get their hands on the wheel, and not to continue to drive the GOP and partisan politics with their
hands on a "Jeb" rear view mirror.
