[Marxism] No Bush left unmarked



Silvia Horvath sent this to us. I thought that you would enjoy it.

We need to know your schedule. Mom would be free to go to the Cape next
week. After that it tightens up. It turns out that Kathy doesn't need
Lisa next week, but would like her to come to visit her when she comes
home. It can still be worked out, but if you can return the car Sunday
and go to the Cape the following week, that might be the best.

TESTS!!

In response to President Bush's Federal "No Child Left Behind Act"
(NCLB), it is proposed that students will have to pass a test to be
promoted to the next grade level. The new test will be called the
Federal Arithmetic and Reading Test (FART). All students who cannot
pass a FART in the second grade will be retested in grades 3, 4, and 5
until they are capable of passing a FART with a score of 80%.

If a student does not successfully FART by grade 5, that student shall
be placed in a separate English program known as the Special Mastery
Elective for Learning Language (SMELL).

If, with this increased SMELL program, the students cannot pass the
required FART test, he or she can still graduate to middle school by
taking another one semester course in Comprehensive Reading and
Arithmetic Preparation (CRAP)

If, by the age of fourteen, the student cannot FART, SMELL, or CRAP, he
or she can earn promotion in an intensive one week seminar known as
the>Preparatory Reading for Unprepared Nationally Exempted Students
(PRUNES).

It is the opinion of the Department of Instruction for Public Schools
(DIPS) that an intensive week of PRUNES will enable any student to
FART, SMELL, or CRAP. This revised provision of the student component
of the House Bill 101 should help "clear the air" as part of the "No
School Left Standing"
