What kind of claim is that? What are you even saying? You claimed that since 12 years in failing public schools wasn't enough we should extend it to 14. It is hard to imagine a better argument for competition in education at all levels. If a private school could offer the same education in 10 years that public schools offer in 12, wouldn't those students, and all of society be better off? As long as you shield public schools from real competition you guarantee continued mediocrity at best.

Retreating Juneau Glacier Reveals 1200 Year Old Trees juneauempire.com .... This is yet more evidence of warmer times, not only in the MWP, but further back. It also complements similar findings in the Exit Glacier of Alaska and glaciers in Patagonia. How did that happen when the supposed brightest minds in climate science tell us it wasn't warmer than now back then? Did those trees grow UNDER the glaciers? I know, Exxon sent some of it's people to burrow under the glaciers and put tree stumps there.
