#1 Willard? Like the only Willard I ever heard of was this one. All I can think is OUCH!

#2 ...his idea of employing poor children as public school janitors.

The Japanese are way ahead on that idea. Every kid participates [except the one holding the camera].

#3 Why is it that we're supposed to emulate the Far East in everything BUT actually expecting a work ethic from our children?

#4 Gingrich said Romney should answer questions about his time as a venture capitalist with a company called Bain Capital, after Romney's rivals slammed him for buying out firms to leave them bankrupt and reap the rewards.

I heard this was "economic with the verity"*

*Not true.

#5 Duh! Ever heard of military schools or academies? Ya think those kids have maids or janitors or do the job themselves. And Mom and Dad are paying up to $50K per year for them to learn how to use Ajax and a broom.

#6 Only the elites despise earning money
Should be any GOP candidates response to such stupid criticism of business activity. On the other hand, none speaks of stopping the looting of the economy and prosecuting the frauds and white collar criminals - that's where the beef is.

#7 Those public school janitors have unions, you know, and I think you can all guess how those unions are gonna respond to this proposal.

#8 In fact they had already a few months back, or a congress critter did, will try to remember who but that was exactly what was said, basically union busting.

#9 Nice video of the Japanes schoolroom clean-up. When I taught in Japan I supervised clean-up time for a junior high-school class that looked almost exactly like that (except for the kids being a few years older). I had absolutely no idea what I was supervising, but the students all knew the routine, and did it without prompting. The weirdest part was after each cleaning session, all teachers were supposed to give an inspirational and ecouraging speech to the students. So I would mumble some random stuff in English to my class for a few mintues, and the students would pretend to understand, and everyone was happy!
