...campus at tiny Hillsdale College is a kiosk displaying these lines from St. Paul: LET US BEHAVE PROPERLY...NOT IN CAROUSING AND DRUNKENNESS, NOT IN SEXUAL PROMISCUITY AND SENSUALITY. The words are supposed to remind the 1,150 students of their school's rockbound commitment to morality, probity and restraint. In the 28 years that George C.

Of course, when it comes to public schools the money comes with a caveat: no improvement, no further funding. Bush's heavy emphasis on testing has given Texas one of the most comprehensive evaluating methods in the country. So far, that system has yielded data pointing to a substantial increase in student ability...
