Tommy over at Sticks of Fire pointed out the falling standards of Florida’s education system a few weeks back.  I’m not going to rehash it or add to it (as I already did in the comments of said thread).  It’s the responses that have me a little put off.

I’ve spent hours on multitudes of people waiting for responses, hanging in limbo, hitting highs and lows over anagrams, or perhaps misinterpreting things that are being said or not getting [...]
