Is it true that George W Bush was in remedial and "special ed" classes at High School?

I think the short bus came to pick him up, yes. My understanding is his autobiography will explain all the \nunanswered questions that we are so interested in, such as \nwhat lunch box did he take (my guess is Howdy Doody) and \nabout the time he passed a Civics test in H.S. (got a D+)...\nshould be a best seller.

Bill Clinton was a Rhodes scholar. G W Bush barely got C's at school. Clinton is a liberal, Bush is a conservative.\n'nuff said.

In eighthgrade my history teacher compared Bush to Polk, they are the same in a lot of ways (that wa last year, I'm in 9th grade, and for some stupid reason 9th graders don't take history we take he stupidest class ever, Life Skills, in which you learnabsolutely nothing,instead). I don't know which is worse, and although I wish Bush would get impeached I doubt he will.

He certainly did.\n\nBut come on, we all know that the military *is* the last choice available for many young people who do not do well in school, or even socially.\n\nIt is no insult, the military advertises parents considering letting the kids join the military after looking around and seeing gangs and pregnant kids

Actually, George W. Bush was the unfortunate result of a grade school science fair project that went horribly wrong.

I think you answered your own question, the kids are being left behind cuz they are dumb. so the prez wants them to repeat the same grade so they won't be dumb. You get it? Ha ha !!! I'm just joking.

And the timely ramblings of thompj64us once again. Unfounded as always.\n\nConnections play a part in college entrance, as it does in the real job world. But it is not like you can get anyone in anywhere AND have them pass. Bush met the entrance requirements and actually held a slightly higher GPA than his most recent opponent, John Kerry.\n\nBecause Bush went to Yale, does that make him inherently brilliant? Nope. Just as going to community college does not make you inherently mediocre. Bush is not the smartest President, nor do I believe him to be the dumbest in any way, shape, or form.\n\n*******\nHoneydew.. Cheerleading SQUAD, not scholarship for cheerleading. Many men have been on cheerleading squads throughout the history of colleges and college athletics in American history.

He said something to the effect that if your smart you get to go to college or a university and if not you end up stuck in Iraq.\n\n"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

Not only did he attend special ed classes, he was exclusively in special ed classes his whole life. He was the kid riding in the short yellow bus licking the windows.

YES.  For a while there was a rumor that the Army was taking people that didn't have either, but it was just a rumor.  You can go into the Delayed Enlistment/Entry Program while still in High School, but you have to have a High School Diploma or GED to enlist.
