The students had obviously just seen a CNN news report via Internet, and were answering the CNN “Ten Questions” about the news report. On one of the questions, they were discussing President Bush's response to a series of questions, one of the sixth grade students made a very poignant series of comments that went something like this:
Q: How did Mr. Bush respond to these concerns?
A: He started to raise his voice because they (the media) kept asking the same question over and over again.
Q: Why do you think they kept asking the same question over and over?
A: I don't think they were listening, they were doing just like this class does!
It amused me to hear a sixth grade student comparing the White House Press Corp to his sixth grade classroom.
