Strong American Schools Unveils New Research on the Cost of College Remediation for Unprepared U.S. Students and Taxpayers

Washington, DC — High school seniors return to school this fall confident that their course loads are challenging enough to prepare them for the rigor of college study. They are wrong. Strong American Schools Chairman Roy Romer today unveiled Diploma to Nowhere, a study which highlights the fact that many college freshmen need to take remedial classes to relearn skills they should have been taught before graduation. The study also reveals that remediation affects students of all income and ethnicities and the psychological impact that remediation has on these students.

The executive summary and full report, Diploma to Nowhere, can be found at www.edin08.com. Read More

Biden says, ‘Hillary Clinton Is A Better VP Pick’

hillary2008 — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:42:49 +0000

Biden says, ‘Hillary Clinton Is A Better VP Pick’.

This is both funny and sad at the same time because it is so true.

From ABC News
“Spokesman Ben Porritt offered this response from the McCain camp: “Barack Obama’s most important decision of this election, and Biden — the candidate he selects — suggests, himself, that he wasn’t the right man for the job, and that Hillary Clinton would have been a better choice. Biden certainly has a credible viewpoint on this.”
From NewsBusters
“Of course, what makes this even more delicious is what Obama told CNN’s Candy Crowley back in June:

Calling his choice of running mate “the most important decision that I will make before I am president,” the senator from Illinois said he would “be deliberate and systematic about it, because this will be my final counselor when I am making decisions in the White House, and I want to make sure I get it

I get it’s reassuring to the junior senator from Illinois that the person he picked doesn’t agree with his decision.”

hillary2008 — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 00:21:52 +0000

Message
From Hillary
This is very awesome, could this be a message from
Hillary to us PUMAs?
From the New
York Observer talking about a recent Obama Clinton Fundraiser

At times humorous and passionate, Clinton dressed in a dark pantsuit
with white piping around the collar, Clinton
said that she couldn’t see everyone in the crowd because of the bright lights in
her eyes. But, she said, “I know you’re there and I know that you’ll be there in
November.”

Hillary can count on us!
