TALLAHASSEE · Will Jeb Bush dye his hair purple?

The governor on Tuesday said he's willing -- but only as an incentive for Glades Central High students to improve their reading, a major goal in the school's plan to improve its double-F state rating in the coming year.

"You can use me as an incentive. If you have some crazy thing you want me to do, like paint my hair purple. I'm serious," Bush told Principal Mary Evans. "But purple or shaved hair would probably have to wait until after the November election."

Let them tie the long hair on his head to the short hair on his butt and kick him around the playground like a soccer ball. Hows THAT for incentive? Really, sister.... you find the MOST amusing stories!

I think that if it motivates kids to learn...even if it is only for perverse pleasure at seeing his hair purple...I am all for it. My son's principal wore pajamas to school for a week and did the macarena at an assembly after her challenge to the kids to read 10,000 books. His school has about 600 kids. That comes to about 17 books per child. The parents had to make sure the books were read, and then signed a form stating the name of the book, how many pages and childs grade/age. Books had to be age appropriate. No 6th grader reading a 1st grade book. The kids shattered that goal. Kids like to see adults act like idiots (unless it is their parent in front of their friends.) If it doesn't cause harm....whatever it takes!
