Lamrock's funny numbers regarding literacy rates in New Brunswick.

Education Minister Lamrock announced a new program for the gifted kids of New Brunswick today (no new money, though) that will give them 1/2 hour of programming a week to be developed by the already overburdened learning resources of the school system.  This one is not only short on details but also on rhetoric...I think the spin doctors are getting desperate to get the minister to say something positive.

I don't think anybody, even those who support the elimination of EFI, would be very excited about this pathetic attempt to add something new to the debate...

...and shoots himself in the foot.  Someone should tell him to stop comparing himself to Loius Robichaud...it makes him look sad..

Doug Willms asserts that EFI has done more harm than good...but then again he admits that he has no idea if the new plan will be any better.

He also seems to think that parents have no right to choice in the education of thier children...thankfully he is not in charge and therefore cannot implement his Maoist experiement to its fullest....

Another attack on Lamrock's 300,000 illitierate New Brunswickers comment and a letter of support for the Hamilton/Litvak refutation of Croll/Lee.

Reports of more Liberal infighting.

Two letters to the editor criticizing the government for its short sightedness and anti-intellectual bias.

I'm not sure how valid the actual suggestions are but at least its a call for compromise.

A reasoned response to Minister Lamrock's assertion that over 300,000 New Brunswickers are functionally illiterate.

A letter to the editor in which Rob Hoadley responds to more inaccuracies from Minister Lamrock.
