School boards are an arm of government Here they're an arm of the teacher's union.

It is the truth. I went to a parents' orientation for middle school a few years ago, and when I was chatting with a math teacher, she asked if my son had learned his "math facts", by which she meant not merely the multiplication tables, but the addition tables. It was no personal insinuation: she didn't know me or my son. It just made sense to her that some kids might not have memorized basic facts by the sixth grade, no judgment implied........

In your state, Ish, the school boards are close to the people. They set tax rates and build new schools. Springfield and Washington are far away. Its your friends and neighbors who are wasting the money and screwing up education. You ought to run for the board instead of sqwawking to us about your district's problems. It is primarily the fault of ordinary, tax-paying citizens that local government is so badly run and costly.
