What Texas people are saying about my ad

This is so true! I have read several articles similar to this one. Our own personal experience is even worse though. Our kids spent every single day doing TAAS practice tests starting on the very first day of school through April when the test was actually administered. There is such a focus on it that it is taking away from any real learning in the classroom. All our elementary kids are doing is learning to pass the TAAS - which is a very low-level minimum competency test that the majority would ace if they were allowed to take it on the first day of school and get it over with!!! (But that is not an option). Hence the reason we are paying $12K a year to send our non-catholic children to catholic school... NO TAAS there! Actual learning taking place! George Bush is such a buffoon (sp?) that if he is elected I may have to consider renouncing my citizenship! Can you tell I feel strongly about this?
