Some People Never Change

Gosh, so much happens when one steps away from blogging for a few days, hmmmm?

Sen. Jeff Brandes Always Loves For Profit Charter Schools, Tax Payers Only When It's Convenient

Florida state Senator Jeff Brandes is riding in like a Carpet Bagger white knight to resurrect some "Hope for Windsor"

After weeks of  insulting the Pinellas County public school system, ignoring the fact that they were perfectly happy to have enrolled, and kept their kids in an F school, and of claiming victimization when it was their own lack of involvement and research that facilitated the Newpoint disaster, the frantic pleas of the Windsor Prep and East Windsor parents have been heard.
