An Apple for Miss Jenna? Bush Eyes Washington Teaching Job

[NVMojo]

Would this be a "public service" job?

First daughter Jenna Bush, who put her career plans on hold while campaigning to reelect her father, has decided to live in Washington and plans to teach at a District public school that serves low-income children. The White House would not release details yesterday, but we've learned that she has applied to teach at Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School in the Mount Pleasant/Columbia Heights neighborhood.

The school's founder and executive director, Linda Moore, wouldn't confirm Bush's employment, saying: "We don't discuss the relationship between a prospective employee and the school until we have a formal agreement. This is not something I'm at liberty to discuss."

Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for first lady Laura Bush, yesterday would say only that Jenna "will live in Washington and will go to work at a public school."

The Elsie Whitlow Stokes school has 250 pupils enrolled in kindergarten through sixth grade, features immersion classes in Spanish and French, and emphasizes community service. Its children, who are largely Hispanic and African American, visit soup kitchens and participate in an annual walk for the homeless.

1. she should be the first drafted....

into her daddy's war. :grr:

[genieroze]

67. Have her drafted to teach the Iraqi children how to duck and cover. eom

edited for spelling

[pbartch]

75. Yes...Jenna and Barbara should go to war.

clean out latrines, drive trucks........get involved in the prisoner scandal. That would bring down the HOUSE OF BUSH.

[The Zanti Regent]

79. Didn't Mary Kay Le Tourneau teach in Washington State, too?

Maybe Jenna wants to emulate her!

[Southpaw Bookworm]

83. It's DC, not the state n/t

[yellowcanine]

84. Err - wrong Washington.....Washington, D.C.

[pdurod1]

117. Didn't JK warn monkey pants about putting a leash on his daughters...

hey, WTF, keggers and dudes after school

[TaleWgnDg]

2. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha . . .

Jenna teaching in a public school in D.C. !!!!! too damn funny

[NVMojo]

3. Yep, I thought it was an attempt at being saintly af first ...

but I definitely think she should be drafted instead of teaching those who could be someday ....

[NashVegas]

4. No, Scary

This time a year from now, she can draft a paper for him about the benefits of privatizing the public school systems.

[NVMojo]

6. that is scary ...you could be on to something...

[TaleWgnDg]

9. Jenna Bush . . . insulated Jenna Bush . . . who loves to rebel . . .

teaching inner city kids? I'll give her less than 4 months. BTW, where do the Secret Service agents sit during class? LOL

[saigon68]

13. They will be bored to death.

Maybe they can sneak out at noon for a few Beers with her---- LOL

[TaleWgnDg]

23. ROFL . . . n/t

[Child_Of_Isis]

30. Especially with the Secret Service tailing her.

The low income folks are going to love that scene.

[donsu]

69. that's what I was thinking - a SS person in the schoolroom with her and

snipers on the roof, vehicle with large gun in the schoolyard

will she wear an armored vest?

[Sabriel]

45. Yes, but it's a charter school

Full of children whose parents took the initiative to get them in there. I hope they don't spin this as a typical "urban" school, because it sure as hell isn't.

Good luck, Jenna! Start by practicing getting by on 4-5 hours of sleep a day, and kiss your nightlife goodbye. Yeee hah!!!!

[Cooley Hurd]

5. Fingerpainting? That's too hard to teach...

How about "Quarters?"

"Miss Bush? What does 'chug' mean?"

[Karan]

7. I admire her...

She could make lots of money doing some "meaningless" job since she is the daughter of a president. I think that this is very close to a public service job. My hat is off to her!

[TaleWgnDg]

8. ROFLMAO . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and she smokes too (note Jenna's right hand). . .


.

[IA_Seth]

93. Oh no!

She parties AND she smokes?!

The NERVE of the girl.

Come on already. I am all for the bashing of a worthless President, but his daughters don't deserve half of the crap everyone dishes here.

About as bitter as freepville if you ask me.

[Lost4words]

119. Gerald Fords were the last cool repuke WH kids IMO!

Ron Reagan turned out OK!

Lots of repukes smoke and party. The difference, IA_Seth, is that they will get a slap on the wrist for leagal indiscretions while you and I get to go to the slammer. Thats reason enough for me to dislike them.

And yea I AM BITTER, if you applied your IA brain you might be also!

86 43

[NVMojo]

11. you are kidding, right???

public service at this point is being shipped off to Iraq. That I would admire. A cushy job teaching at a special charter school, not.

[saigon68]

14. No admiration here

This is a drunken spoiled brat who sticks out her TONGUE every time she can at poor and homeless people. She will hate their "stench" that's for sure.

[0007]

27. A twelve year old teaching?

[saigon68]

63. THAT PHOTO SUMS IT UP

This is one drunken miscreant. Maybe she will off someone like her MOMMY did.

[Bono71]

88. I never liked it when people made statements about Chelsea

Clinton and I don't like it now.

[saigon68]

106. So deal with it

[Pretty_in_CodePink]

120. Chelsea was not an adult

nor did she misbehave and get fall-down drunk in public by breaking the law and using a fake ID. Commentary about Chelsea typically focused on her appearance which was mean-spiritied as is typically repub. I think their behavior makes them fair game.

[izzie]

22. Well her mother was a real person and had to work once.

Will not hurt her that is for sure.

[TahitiNut]

35. Well, she has the experience ...

... dealing with the 4th Grade mentality of her father for so many years. As an assistant to the upholstery-wearing Enabler-in-Chief, she's accustomed to the behavioral problems. Sadly, however, she's been a 'supply-sider' in that respect as well.

44. Karan, this would be a meaningful job but it appears to me this is for

show only. I wonder how long she'll stay at this job. If she stays only a few months or substitute every once in awhile, this would look good and they can say "Jenna is doing such a meaningful job and she's trying to help the least fortunate among us" Members of the Bush Crime Family are phoney as hell. They will do about anything to put on a front. When these people do anything, we all need to look and pay attention to the whole picture.

[hatrack]

52. She also announced plans to teach in Harlem

This was just before the GOP Convention. Then, when the convention ended and with the requisite photo-ops out of the way, the Harlem Plan quietly sank beneath the surface of the news, never to be seen again.

http://www.nydailynews.com/07-14-2004/news/gossip/story/212059p-182645c.html

[catzies]

82. I rememberd that too. Just another stupid stunt by the Bushes.

SOP for the BFEE.

[steely]

89. Me three. My first thought then was that she never intended..

to actually particpate - it was just a headline grabbing statement for public relations, and a well executed application of a technique taught to her by her father. Didn't he join a military unit once, and then not show up?

edit spelling

[Media_Lies_Daily]

102. Incredible response. What a load of bull.

[phylny]

10. Charter school, eh?

Interesting. I thought she was coming to work in the Bronx.

[DoYouEverWonder]

18. She didn't meet the minimum qualifications for that job

n/t

[flordehinojos]

12. John P. Bush did the same thing fresh out of college when he taught at a

Migrant camp in South Florida...only to soon find that that was not his call, join his uncle's 2000 campaign effort, go back to college to become a lawyer (a corporate lawyer did I read) and have his eyes on a political career for which his GRAMPY advises he should NEVER USE HIS FAMILY NAME TO JUMP START IT... We'll see where Jenna goes after her first year there ... (AND I HAVE TO WONDER IS SHE THE REBEL WITHOUT CAUSE IN THE BUSH FAMILY?)

[sherilocks]

26. John P. Bush?

Is this the son of Jeb, caught having sex in the back of his car in the parking lot of a Tallahassee mall and then got shipped off to a private boarding school in Jacksonville? Or is it the son of Jeb who was arrested for vandalizing his girl-friend's house when she tried to break off the relationship? Oh yea, the latter was George. You mean Jeb has a son or daughter that didn't get into trouble with the law?

[flordehinojos]

72. Yes, I meant George P. Bush, the one who was arrested for

vandalizing his girl friend's house when she tried to break off the relationship.

Thanks for catching my "Florida Moment a/k/a Senior Moment".

[sherilocks]

81. I thought there was yet another JEB child

that I wasn't aware of. Not trying to catch you at all. :)

[kayell]

15. Sounds like the WH just informed the school that Jenna WILL be hired. nt

[AliciaKeyedUp]

16. Hate her father

But why complain that she is doing something good? This I don't get.

[NVMojo]

17. hello again??

you have got to be joking? Many have family members in Iraq who had no choice but to join the Bush unemployment agency to assault innocents overseas in Iraq. I say she goes too. Pull the spoon out of her mouth that daddy put there. She is a child of America, highly disposable for bush wars.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

19. If we draft, sure let her go

Thankfully, we aren't drafting. So don't presume to make decisions on where she goes or what she does. Simply be thankful that she is taking a difficult job and teaching kids.

[mac56]

33. Your willingness to give her the benefit of the doubt is commendable.

You'll understand, I'm sure, if many of us take this with a considerable grain of salt.

Her father and his cronies have had nothing but contempt for public education. It's a bit disingenuous to see her embracing it now. One can be excused for thinking she (or they) have something up the sleeve.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

107. You aren't your parents

My dad was a dick. Hell my ex was too. I'm not them. If she's lucky, she won't be either.

[NVMojo]

54. give me a break, a difficult teaching job would be in the bronx.

[Bono71]

97. Trust me...teaching in DC is difficult.

[IA_Seth]

94. I feel ya

I said it before and I will say it again.

Hate the father, but don't hate the daughter. What, exactly, can she do to make all of you bitter folks happy?

She isnt going to fight in Iraq, as I assume none of you are that didn't sign up for it?

[NVMojo]

112. speak for your own pound of flesh, Seth. Many of us has family over

there. I want a Bush twin to pay the ultimate price for her country and her dad, not just my family members.

[noamnety]

20. Do you really think she'll be doing any good?

From what I've seen, she's an alcoholic with no respect for the law, who can barely form a coherent sentence. She certainly can't speak in public.

What kind of education do you think her students will get from her? Would you let her babysit your children even for an evening? I sure wouldn't.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

21. Who knows?

She is just out of college. Most of us grew up as we left college. Why not give her the chance? She certainly seems to be trying.

[Bridget Burke]

28. Now's her chance to prove herself.

Will she teach full-time?

Will she last the whole term?

Will she join the union?

Quite a few of us managed to grow up before college--or instead of college. Not everyon has rich parents to pay 100%--no college jobs, no crippling loans. Many of our forces in Iraq joined in order to go to college--some have died.

She's given every sign of being spoiled & unappreciative of what was handed her for free. Now's her chance to correct that image.

I am a democrat and I think what she is doing is to great.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

108. A. I am out of college

and B. I can spell it.

[hatrack]

53. See Post 52

And if she's serious, let's see her really put her money where her mouth is, and sign up to teach in a PUBLIC DC school.

[NVMojo]

55. AliciaKeyewannabee, are you Jenna's pr manager? Rove in training?

get a grip in reality ...John Kerry lived with a poverty stricken Indian tribe for quite some time, without life's luxuries. Teaching in the closest thing next to a private school is not a tough row to hoe. And I can't wait to see if this lasts the school year. This girl is not like her mom, she ain't a lady.

[Bono71]

99. If she quits, then you can bash her, but honestly the young

woman is entering a noble profession.

If she was the daughter of Kerry, some how I don't think you would have a problem with her.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

109. Roving around

Rove in training? Because I think people should teach? You must have a weird definition of your litmus test. Her dad's a dick, maybe she has potential not to be.

Is your dad also a dick? Does it naturally follow that you would be?

[NVMojo]

113. obviously your family jewels are coming out too. Go defend more Repukes.

[MADem]

103. I think The Family has her on a SHORT LEASH

They didn't want her to teach in Harlem because then she'd have the joys of NYC before her...and the bars NEVER CLOSE. In DC, the metro stops running earlier than Boston, fachrissake...they roll up the sidewalks. Sure, you can have a bit of fun down in Blues Alley, there are some good restaurants and whatnot, you can go from spot to spot in Georgetown for amusement, but it really is a lame nightlife, when looking at the BIG picture, if you are out of college. If you are still in college, those kids make their own fun, but she's supposedly past all that.

I swear, it's the short leash. Why else would she take this job rather than the one in Clinton's very safe neighborhood??? I doubt that she really likes that scummy private club she and sis go to in G-Town all that much...not much in there, hell, Tony Soprano's little hangout has more crap in it...

[Lost4words]

38. you are too young to understand!

would you send an Eskimo to the desert to teach water searching/drilling techniques? Come on! Would you send a wife beater to teach communication skills for newlyweds?

Flip switch and turn on your brain analyzing function, PLEASE!

[NVMojo]

56. 8643, you rock!!!! I'm still laughing! Points well taken!

[AliciaKeyedUp]

110. All kids out of college are newbies

And many of them learn to teach quite well. I suggest you get your battery recharged.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

104. It's called "Bush family public relations", and you fell for it.

[Massachusetts]

24. Like O.K. class we are gonna

talk about, like history today. Like we are gonna talk about like something really like old and famous. Like its Sam Adams....Has anyone in the class ever tried it? Like it really tastes good and the Patriots loved it too. Like they are a Great football team, and like Tom Brady is soooooooooooo cute. :wow: :dunce: :wtf:

[NVMojo]

57. LOL!!!!

[geomon666]

65. Oh Man!

That's f***ing hysterical.

[djack23]

25. Maybe she will become a Democrat

Remember DC voted 9 to 1 for Kerry. Maybe she will become a Dem after this experience. You can always hope. On second thought, maybe we don't want her.

[tekriter]

29. Butt...Butt...Butt...I though teechers were no-good liberals...

bent on destroying Amerrikka's future by poisoning the fragile brains of our youths with LIEBERAL Socialist propaganda?

[TNOE]

60. Didn't some Repub label teachers Terrorists????

So Jenna is going into terrorism?

[Bridget Burke]

80. Rod Paige, outgoing Education Secretary....

Called the NEA a terrorist organization.

Let's see if Jenna joins the union...

[bluestateguy]

31. If there were to be a draft, this could be counted as "national service"

that way some kid from that neighborhood can go to Iraq or Iran instead.

[tanyev]

39. & Barbara wants to work w/ kids with AIDS in east. Europe & Africa? HAH!

Read the rest of this article (and by the way, Charter schools are NOT public schools, in that they have the right to pick and choose whom they will admit!)
(1) "sister Barbara wants to work with childrenwho have AIDS in Eastern Europe and Africa": or
(2) Barbara's career plans are nebulous at the moment; or
(3) the Bush sisters are frequently seen at Georgetown bars with a loyal group of friends;
(4) one of the above friends says the sisters plan to lease a Georgetown townhouse.

If Barbara ever had any serious career plans in the past four years, Yale provided a multitude of summer programs abroad and/or internships with relief organizations - I don't recall she ever got involved with any. I mean wouldn't that be a waste of her beautiful mind, as her namesake grandmother would describe it, dealing with pain and suffering in third world countries?

And it's the middle of the school year - so will Jenna just sort of hang out with the regular teachers or are they going to fire someone to make room for her? She'll probably be an "assistant" of some kind - one hopes so, because she's not described as certified as a teacher - did she even TAKE any early childhood education courses? - Can you picture her working full time and then taking night school classes in education? I picture her partying up a storm in Georgetown and showing up hungover at the school. If the kids have field trips, she can show them how to stick their toungs out through the window.
And the poster was spot on who pointed out that this kind of "job" can be described as "national service" and might be used to avoid the draft. Although we still have to wait and see exactly what language is used in the draft legislation when the pubs put it through.

[noamnety]

51. Correction on Charter Schools

I work at a public charter school, and we do NOT have the right to pick and choose whom we will admit.

[Divernan]

95. Might this vary from state to state?

I've been told by parents of autistic children that the charter schools can avoid the "high maintenance" students, thereby increasing the per pupil cost to the public school system (this is in Pennsylvania.)

[noamnety]

100. It might vary by state or district

It might also depend if the school is part of an existing school district (like a magnet school) in which case the district can decide who gets in, vs. being an independent school district in and of itself, in which case you have to admit anyone, because your district doesn't provide other alternatives.

I'm just asking that you don't assume all charter schools are private, or exclusive, because it definitely isn't the case for all of them. We can't refuse admission to any student that's eligible for public schools, and we get our share of high maintenance, autistic, LD, etc. students. We might even get more than our share, because sometimes the traditional public school is their first choice, and if they are failing there, the principal at the traditional school will try to get rid of them by recommending to the parents that they use us as an alternative school, even though that's not our mission. (We have a specific educational goal which is unrelated to whether a student is or isn't LD.)

Charter schools have a reputation of sucking away the highest achievers, but the reality is that traditional schools just as often take advantage of our existence by trying to shove off their worst test takers onto us so they have a better chance of meeting the NCLB criteria. And then they wonder why some charters (not ours, lucky for me) achieve lower test scores - they are sending us the kids that don't score well to begin with!

So while I am opposed to vouchers for private schools for a number of reasons, charters aren't taking money away from public schools - they ARE public schools (around these parts, anyway), and they are open to anyone.

(okay, end of rant.)

[yorkiemommie1]

64. barbara and jenna, what would you like to accomplish in life?

"welll... we wanna work with people and we wanna work for world peace"

[NVMojo]

114. she meant to pray for whirled peas.

[Riptide]

40. This is ridiculous...

Certified teachers in this country are jumping through hoops trying to become "highly qualified" under No Child Left Behind. I already have a teaching degree, and I am in the process of adding special education to my certification. I have to take 12 graduate classes, plus content area classes in order to be highly qualified.

Meanwhile, Jenna walks in off the street and gets a teaching job. Does she know how to teach a child to read? What about classroom management?

Don't those kids deserve a teacher who knows at least a tiny bit about teaching?

[Lost4words]

48. Every child in the US deserves a quality education! YES!

I am with you RT and you have my respect for the job you do.

Its a hard job with little reward, but education is the only way to build a strong nation. Many children would never have any self esteem if it were not for caring teachers! I was fortunate to have several teachers who taught me to really question, analyze and think for myself.

GOD Bless Ms Kennedy 7th grade civics, it took me years to understand how radical she was! I love this woman for what she gave me. (no off color remarks please)

Mr. Stivers 8th grade civics, he made me understand that I was an equal member of the class and that my voice counted!

Ms Hensley 9th grade science, sternly tolerated my antics and took time with me.

These people opened my mind, I wish I could find them and let them know what kind of impact they had on my life. Of course I learned from other teachers, but these 3 are the light turn-ner on-ners! All were teaching in public schools.

I cant see a Bush family member having the kind of intelligence, patience and/or compassion teaching requires. That's just my opinion!

Carry on your good work RipTide :hi:

[DFWJock]

43. Tip for her students:

Skip the apples kids, a flask full of gin will make you the teachers pet.

[LibDemAlways]

46. She'll probably follow in the

footsteps of Nixon's daughter Julie who took a teaching job and then conveniently had to bow out when a book cart somehow injured her foot before the first day of school. The foot healed, but she never went back.

Being a Bush, Jenna will reap all sorts of good publicity about this "inner city" job - which won't last long before she retires to her favorite watering hole.

[yorkiemommie1]

118. something like that will happen

...and she will 'regretfully' have to leave the job.

[Alpharetta]

47. she'll be a victim of the liberal school board

It will be a setup. Some kind of manufactured outrage over her wearing a Santa cap or a crucifix.

Then she'll discretely return to partying with the Ashton Kuchter and Paris Hilton crowd.

[Spike from MN]

76. She'll return to partying all right

but probably not with Ashton Kutcher. He spoke at a John Edwards rally here in MN and is not in the * camp. Of course, he's still free to party with whoever he wants but I rather doubt he'd want to party with the * twins.

[Alpharetta]

91. He's partied with them

[Alpharetta]

92. Here's Ashton's story, according to Seth D Michaels

http://www.sethdmichaels.com/archives/000064.html

"So we're hanging out ... The Bushes were underage drinking at my house. When I checked outside, one of the Secret Service guys asked me if they'd be spending the night. I said no. And then I go upstairs to see another friend and I can smell the green wafting out under his door. I open the door, and there he is smoking out the Bush twins on his hookah."

[hatrack]

49. Yeah, right, this'll happen REAL soon!

Lil' Jenna will discover that teaching's HARD WORK, it's HARD, doncha know, and then within a year she'll find some date-raping trust fund prick from Texas to marry and mix the juleps, forcing her to regretfully bid farewell to teaching.

What transparent bullshit.

[Massachusetts]

58. Correctamoondo

:thumbsup:

[LibertyLover]

50. Jenna

Oh dear, if Jenna becomes a teacher does that mean Shrub fathered a terrorist?

[Bridget Burke]

59. That's only if she joins the NEA.

Let's see if she manages to avoid associating with those nasty unions.

Jenna--here's you chance to prove your worth.

[Laughing Mirror]

61. Are there no teaching posts open in Iraq?

Admittedly, that would be quite the commute from the swank Georgetown neighborhood she plans on moving into.

As a product of the DC public school system, I resent any member of the Bush crime family cynically exploiting "inner-city" kids in DC and our pitiful public school system to make themselves look like some kind of concerned noble do-gooders.

If they were really serious, that slob Jenna would live in a homeless shelter over in Southeast and get a job at Ballou Senior High. I bet she'd last about 2 minutes, Secret Service and all.

[yorkiemommie1]

62. does she have a credential?

where did she do her student teaching?

in the school district i work in, teachers don't get to 'choose' a grade to teach; i.e., 'fourth grade'.

i will believe her and her sister's plans when i see it. i want to see them plugging away and accomplishing in their 'chosen' fields for years, not just months. not until 'something more urgent' comes up.

[goclark]

105. The Personnel Specialist and the Principal should be fired!

This fast little number has been PHOTOGRAPHED drunk and on the floor.

Repeatedly in bars, underage drinking etc.

This is not hearsay, this is FACT.

It is also a FACT that she stuck her tongue out while campaigning for her father.

She does NOT display ANY values that would serve as ROLE MODELS for the children.

Her pictures were all over the tabloids, cigarette in mouth and drink in hand ON THE FLOOR!

When a teacher is interviewed school districts are to consider the moral values of the potential teacher.

There have been times when the teacher has done something that no one in the community knows about.

But this is not the case, all you have to do is stand in line at Ralph's to see her picture on the floor and drunk.

No child deserves this as a role model. To put this idiot on the backs of poor children is the last straw.

I am going to write the Principal a letter!

[geomon666]

66. I like how...

she walked right out of college and found a job at a charter school. I have a feeling she wouldn't dare step into a public school. Who wants to take bets on when she'll start teaching creationism?

[noonwitch]

68. At least she is trying to get a job that is productive

I don't have a problem with the Bush twins. I wish the best for them, they are not responsible for their father's policies.

[geomon666]

70. No she's not.

But to each his own. While they may not be responsible for them, they support them, so they can go to hell with him.

[neweurope]

71. More propaganda.

Takes people's minds off the election, PATRIOT II, small planes and suicides and Iraq, at least for a couple of days, and drives home the fact that all members of the Roayal Familiy are just adorable.

[gatorboy]

73. Didn't she promise to teach poor kids in Harlem earlier this year

and changed her mind? :shrug:

[Horse with no Name]

74. She is only doing this because

When she marries a RepubliKKKan and he runs for office...then when one of the "nasty little leftists" accuse her of not working for a living, she can throw this in their face as her contribution to society.
Tsk Tsk Tsk

[Laughing Mirror]

77. Yes, Tokenism

Like Bush AWOL because he's supposedly off working in some inner-city program, and then Condi Rice and Powell in top positions, and then now trying to get Lieberman. Tokenism. That's the Bush Family contribution. Some contribution.

96. Just because she is the daughter of a soulless monster doesn't

mean she is beyond hope. Maybe she will LEARN from the kids!

[tilsammans]

101. I don't have any big expectations for this kid being a teacher . . .

. . . so far, she's shown herself to be nothing but a spoiled brat.

And I agree -- she and her equally pampered sis should be shipped off to the war. But it ain't gonna happen.

My best hope is that, via this experience, she DOES get a glimpse at the real world and has an epiphany. After all, the younger Reagan kids shunned their father's ilk and became their own people in their own right.

[justjones]

111. I wouldn't want anyone with Bush blood running through their veins....

teaching my child shit. After parents and family, teachers mold their students minds. You've gotta wonder what perpective of the world she will invoke on the children.

I'd be very weary of her if I were a parents because most of the time apples don't fall far from the tree, or they fall close to the stump, in this case.
