It is amazing how pointed the disrespect with which teachers are held by Congress really is...they speak out of both sides of the mouth. Congressmen say they want teacher comments, but they waited until August 27, 2007 to send out a 11 page draft of a bill that the House Ed Committee hopes to present to Congress shortly after Labor Day. That gives any teacher who wants to look at it about a week to read and analyze the draft summary and to write a comment. Congressman, can you spell, N'er Do Well? It just makes you wonder why citizen approval ratings of Congress are so low, doesn't it? LORL
