[b] "Childrens do learn," Bush tells school
kids
Wed Sep 26, 2:03 PM ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Offering a grammar lesson guaranteed to make
any English teacher cringe, President George W. Bush told a group
of New York school kids on Wednesday: "Childrens do learn."
Bush made his latest grammatical slip-up at a made-for-TV event
where he urged Congress to reauthorize the No Child Left Behind
Act, the centrepiece of his education policy, as he touted a new
national report card on improved test scores.
The event drew New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Education
Secretary Margaret Spellings plus teachers and about 20 fourth and
fifth graders from P.S. 76.
During his first presidential campaign, Bush -- who promised to be
the "education president" -- once asked: "Is our children
learning?"
On Wednesday, Bush seemed to answer his own question with the same
kind of grammatical twist.
"As yesterday's positive report card shows, childrens do learn when
standards are high and results are measured," he said.
The White House opted to clean up Bush's diction in the official
transcript.
Bush is no stranger to verbal gaffes. He often acknowledges he was
no more than an average student in school and jokes about his habit
of mangling the English language.
Just a day earlier, the White House inadvertently showed how it
tries to prevent Bush from making even more slips of the tongue
than he already does.
As Bush addressed the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, a marked-up
draft of his speech briefly popped up on the U.N. Web site,
complete with a phonetic pronunciation guide to get him past
troublesome names of countries and world leaders.
