Everyone knows basketball athletes aren't college graduate, who the hell cares what they say? They get payed millions to play sports. "I'm some rich bastard who gets a paycheck you can only dream of. I never got a college degree, but you should listen to what I say about a silly test that you must repeatedly take."

Honestly, FCAT gets worse an worse. You know, some schools had to bride their students to come on FCAT days. Spanish River High in Boca Raton, Florida auctioned off parking spaces for attendance. Olympic Heights raffles off tvs, dvd players, walkmans to students who come on the days. What a waste. You know why kids show up to take the SAT, and pay it take it too, because they need to on their own accord. Stop forcing kids to take tests, let them drop out.

"Educators say professional athletes connect with children, especially during their often-turbulent middle and high school years, in ways parents and teachers cannot. Children respect and relate to athletes, who can make nouns and fractions seem relevant to everyday life instead of esoteric concepts."

WOW! How many of these play-as can pass the FCAT? Role models? I would like to see a stat on how many have illegitimate children from different mothers. By high school it's too late. The professional player only admirable trait is the physical pefection of their chosen sport. Nothing else matters to owners, franchises. I admire a person for the content of character. Sound familiar? I wonder if that's on the FCAT?

Daily Horoscope for February 13

Gemini

This is a good time to take stock of your actions and the direction you're going in. Are your efforts getting you anywhere or leading you astray and scattering your energy? If you're putting in the work but not moving forward, you're not on track. The old adage 'cut your coat according to your cloth' is good advice. Be simple and purposeful and don't waste time with things that get no practical results.
