If You are Going to Vote Take This Quiz!
This is a business blog but most recently we have posted a lot about Politics. Well it is an election year and many of the issues will have an enormous impact on business and business people. If you are like me much of your election protocol for selecting a canidate is based on emotion. My father a union guy, always voted Democratic, and now we have a serious black canidate, I’m in. Many people voted for George Bush because he is a red neck smart ass cowboy.What about the issues. I beg you to take this quiz, like I did and let us know what canidate stands the closest to you in regards to high priority issues. What you will find may surprise you. Here is mine. My score of 69 is closest in alignment with Dennis Kucinich. Next is Hillary and Chris Dodd, at 57. The man whom I will vote for; my brother Barack Obama is next at 52.Kucinich is unelectable, he is single and that will not sit well with the America of today. Hillary is divisive and untrustworthy; Dodd is out, thus my logic for Obama.I disagree the most with McCain at 5 points, Huckabee 5 points and Romney 10 points. Thank God, just think how uncool it would be to support ant of them. UGH!Take the quiz you will enjoy it, I guarantee it. It takes 7 minutes. Link below

I don’t think Kucinich is single. Isn’t his much-younger wife the one all the fanboys are fawning over?

The difference was on the subject of education. I don’t think teachers should be paid based on the results of their students. The potential to lose good teachers who are willing to work with at risk students is too great.

Theo, this is an interesting topic and has merit worth debate.If we want our teacher to take more risk in income, we should allow for more reward. If may inspire a teacher to provide more effort for their students sucess. Thanks for commenting

That’s true, but I think a quality learning environment should be created first. I always think about Lean On Me when it comes to getting students to reach their fullest potential. Teachers should get paid more, but not because they have higher test scores than another teacher.
I don’t think any kid is dumb, but I think there are a lot of lazy ones out there. Then there are those who just don’t see the value in an education.

Theo, one of the most difficult task is to learn how to speak english.There is a theory that if you can speak english, you are capable of higher learning, so in essence you are right, no kid is dumb but many are uninspired
