....their experiences as teachers.....

Oh, my goodness! Jenna Bush is writing another book.
USA Today:

First lady Laura Bush and daughter Jenna Bush are writing a children's book about a boy who doesn't like to read. It is based on their experiences as teachers.

(My comment: The article says "their experiences as teachers.")

HarperCollins plans to announce today that it will publish the as-yet-untitled picture book next spring. It will be illustrated by Denise Brunkus, who's best known for her drawings in the popular Junie B. Jones series.....

Anything that would be associated with the Bush family is something to avoid. Jenna, who taught for just over one year, must be considered an expert on teaching. Despite my own refusal to buy this junk from the Bush family, there are people who will purchase this book. I predict that this and Jenna's previous book will land next to other books at the Dollar Store.

"....their experiences as teachers....."

Do you wonder if they've ever dealt with students that were hungry? Did they ever have to deal with a student who was high or had a knife? How many fights did they break up? Have they ever had to deal with the ramifications of court-ordered desegregation? How did they handle classroom problems, funding issues, student truancy, 180 students per day, student pregnancies, etc., etc.? Have they ever been threatened or hit by a student?

I'm sure that Jenna did not experience any problems because she had the protection of the Secret Service. Most teachers do not have that luxury.

I just suffered through another press conference from the White House. I learned quite a lot.

President Bush

1. ...still has difficulty communicating. (I'm going to start saying a special prayer that the next U.S. President is able to communicate her/his ideas in an intelligent manner.)

2. ...doesn't care that our bridges are decaying, collapsing, and killing people because he wants more money for his war in Iraq.

3. ...thinks that the investigations and hearings that are going on in the House and the Senate are all political. Obviously, he doesn't realize that the lies and inappropriate behavior of his administration are causing the investigations and hearings.

4. ...thinks that corporate America is not making enough money. He'd like to give them more tax cuts. (Yes. The fact that oil companies are making billions and billions of dollars in profits is just not obscene enough.)

5. ...likes Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez and doesn't think he has done anything wrong. They must be BFFs (best friends forever).

I just checked with backwardsbush.com. I will take some comfort in knowing that there are 529 days left in Bush's term of office.
