NYC Kids Learn Valuable Lesson: Don't Take Grammar Lessons From the President

Posted by Mike Gehrke on September 27, 2007 at 02:54 PM

President Bush made a grammar gaffe while promoting "No Child Left Behind" at an event that included the U.S. Secretary of Education, the New York City schools chancellor, Mayor Bloomberg and First Lady Laura Bush.

President Bush stood in front of a group of New York City elementary school students and touted higher national test scores by proudly declaring: "Childrens do learn."

For the record, the First Lady, a former public-school teacher and librarian, didn't appear to flinch when the President said, "As yesterday's positive report card shows, childrens do learn when standards are high and results are measured."
