This is what DAVID had to say to MIKE regarding Libertarian Party...
 DH> In Mississippi high school juniors are required to take
 DH> a functional literacy exam(FLE). This examination tests the kids
 DH> ability to function on an eighth grade level. Problem is, about 25% of
 DH> the kids fail the test, and schools have started giving FLE prep
 DH> classes! 
Does anyone have any ideas as to how we can test our schools without this 
ind
of nonsense?!! Prep classes for standardized tests completely defeat the
purpose! The prep class that should have prepared these students for the test 
is called EIGHTH GRADE! Why are these kids almost done with high school? 
UGH!
And people are screaming for COMPUTERS! Kids should learn how to friggin' 
EAD
FIRST!!!!!!
... Arkansas gives thanks every day for Mississippi taking the bottom rung
