| WA State Superintendent of Public Instruction Race |
[Oct. 31st, 2008|02:10 pm] |
This is a subject very dear to me, as a mother of a school going child, but also as someone who cares about the state of our society.
Even if you don't have children, or send your children to private school, today's publicly educated children become your employees, employers, coworkers, neighbors, friends, (fellow voters!) and caretakers tomorrow, and are still your fellow citizens today.
If you haven't filled out your ballot yet, please give consideration to voting for Randy Dorn in the Superintendent of Public Instruction race. He's an educator and official with experience and great ideas, and Terry Bergeson has had 12 years too many to screw up our schools. The WASL is her "thing", her pet project, her product, and she's quite proud of it, no matter how much of a failure it repeatedly is proven to be. I'm going doorbelling for Randy Dorn and his reform plans tomorrow. Cora is genuinely upset that her sprained ankle prevents her from joining me for more than a few doors.

I'm friends with a math teacher, so yes, I voted for Dorn. Terry's continued support of "new math" is cheating kids of a chance to compete in a global market. Most kids have to take math 101 when they get to college now because they don't have a grasp of the basics. | |
