Okay, let’s just air this now–
People didn’t vote FOR Sonny Perdue, they voted AGAINST Roy Barnes! Why? Well, let’s face it, he’s a bit of a jerk; but in his defense, at least he didn’t try to appear as a nice guy.

NOW, let’s talk about the FUTURE of the state rather than regressing to the Gov who turned the State House over to a Republican for the first time since RECONSTRUCTION?!! Am I the only person who is outraged by the idea we should all fall at Barnes’ feet since he decided to run again? Uhhh no.

On the other hand we have DuBose Porter. Husband/father/small business owner and tried and true Democrat!

Anyone who is serious about this election I encourage you to look more into the state’s best kept political secret.
He has a facebook and twitter account and our starter website is up at
http://www.porterforga.com.

I personally can’t wait to canvass for him. It’s so often we have politicians whom we believe in; and I believe in DuBose Porter.

Funny… my first captcha word was “edu” and it was not correct. Then it was “school”

Wesleywhatwhat – While I don’t necessarily disagree with your point, you really should link an article which supports it.

That article never references teacher:pupil ratios, nor the number of students in a classroom. It talks about the size of the school population in general. It may be that they reduce the number of students without a similar reduction in teachers, but it does not say that. In fact, it specifically mentions large schools which, in some cases, simply divide into multiple units. It would seem reasonable in those cases that the same number of students and teachers are packed into the same number of classrooms.

What the article does support is a smaller school body which may result in a closer connection between school employees and their customers, the students and parents, which may result in greater efficacy in serving those customers.

weswhatnot–

Do you have any data to back that up? And yes, I spent some time in some large lecture halls and yet it got me into one of the most prestigious technical colleges in the entire world for graduate school.

What about you? Have you done anything in your life besides perverting the King’s English with LOL’s?

Oops. Wrong re Borders. My bad. But what about that military propaganda video Poythress sent out? Ain’t that campaigning?

lol at the person above who thinks small classroom sizes isn’t related to quality of education.
