[Winona Online Democracy]
Hello Paul and Winona Online Democracy,
Paul, your points are great ones.
I think one of the most frustrating things for people who are involved with
kids and schools is that most people have no idea about the real and
concrete implications of all the policy mumbo jumbo.
I and many others would love to have these facts and issues made very
clear to people.
How can we do a better job of that?
And, let's not wait until the next election to let our regrets and anger be
known. There is still time to change policy now.
In this great and wealthy nation, proposing cuts for our kids is
embarressing. We should be investing more, not less in education.
Are we really that selfish? Is this the "me generation" coming of poltical
age?
Dwayne Voegeli
