Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

RE: RE: Home Schooling Alert

Steve Brenneis responds to Behethland B. Clark:

While what you say might be subjectively true, objective results disagree.

Home schoolers consistently score higher in all testing categories than their public schooled counterparts. Home schoolers are also known to adjust to college life more quickly and have fewer incidents of college discipline problems.

Home schoolers who don't go to college also find jobs faster and the jobs they find are generally better. According to employers, home schoolers also have an easier time integrating into the workforce because they have a better respect for discipline and a better understanding of teamwork.

The whole socially retarded, underprepared image of home schoolers is mythology, mostly created by the teacher's unions.
