Morbyd said:The decline of US education productivity is a very serious issue, as it threatens to erode the quality of workforce needed to maintain the massive gains in productivity we saw during the years of the Clinton administration. President Bush's "Leave No Child Behind" education bill was meant to address this issue, but most educators believe the legislation was ill conceived and will therefore be ineffective in the long run.
Oh, and I love kitchen appliances. One day, when I make the big bucks, I will have an industrial-sized kitchen with big stainless-steel double-door refrigerators, restaurant-style woks, a flat grill, an indoor flame grill, a deep fryer, pots and pans galore, and yes... many tea, coffee and food processing small appliances like my Phillips "Kucina" waffle maker/grill.
I'd love to have a super equiped kitchen, I'm completely fed up with our house's crappy gas stove and gas oven that burns everything on the bottom.. I can't even make a proper roast!!
...a crime in itself.
