You are repeating he same retoric when you state that "strong advocates for schools" were replaced by those who are "more pro-voucher or reform." Just because someone is trying to reform our system, does not mean they are not strong advocates for schools. To the contrary, I believe our schools need reform! The local elementary school in our neighborhood just had a new parking lot installed to replace one that was perfectly fine, at a cost of over one million dollars!!! Yet, teachers in that school are underpaid and over worked. This is the system that we are so zelously defending? I vote for reformers. Lets get someone who is NOT a teacher or administrator in the school board. Someone with fresh ideas who can take on the UEA establishment and give teachers real help instead of rhetoric.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
