“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Ethics

So journalists score pretty high on an ethics test. It tells me that they know why they are supposed to report facts from both sides of a story, but it doesn't explain why they are so bad at actually doing it.

Even more interesting? Junior high kids generally do worse that prison inmates. Which would make junior highs slightly less ethical and possibly more unruly than your average prison.

I would think that simply improving that number (although I'm not sure how, short of ethics classes in kindergarten) might improve the efficiency of our school system as a whole.

Any teachers want to give their thoughts?
