There is such an anti-white sentiment in Pinellas County.

Jeez. Sorry! Try again. I think it should work now ...

the achievement gap never will be closed.
even the article yesterday pointed out it would take 75 YEARS for it to happen!
too much taxpayer money down the drain.

face the facts folks. Not ALL kids are college material and in fact many don't even want to go to college.

The US must follow the European tracking method (college prep/technical/vocational/alternative) otherwise China and India will OWN us in ten years!

Obama is on the right track by pumping billions into community colleges. This where most kids will be going in the future.

It's still not working, still pointing to the bradenton article on virtual education.
