[Vision2020] If we care about public education

[Tom Hansen]

Arnold stated:

 

"I think if people really care about the public education system they would
look to find ways to solve the problems it faces other than just throwing
more money at a broken system that continues to operate in the same
direction."

 

That "same direction", Mr. Arnold, has placed the Moscow School District as
a top achiever in the state of Idaho among peer school districts.

 

Arnold has also been a strong advocate for vocational education, a program
that all of us support, however . . .

 

Three questions:  

 

1)  How would you go about creating such a program?

 

2)  How much do you feel such a program, to include construction of
facilities for such a program, would cost?

 

3)  Where would these funds come from, keeping in mind the expressed fear of
property tax increases?

 

Seeya round town, Moscow.

"We're a town of about 23,000 with 10,000 college students. The college
students are not very active in local elections (thank goodness!)."

"As unbelievable as it sounds, if the levy fails Doug Wilson and his
followers will view it as a reward from God, and a divine endorsement of
their point of view."---Rose H.

 

Let us not make MSD about how much we dislike Doug Wilson. We should make it
about what is suppose to be about, making sure youth in the MSD get the best
chance be successful and practicing a profession they enjoy. 

 

I think if people really care about the public education system they would
look to find ways to solve the problems it faces other than just throwing
more money at a broken system that continues to operate in the same
direction. 

 

Best,

 

Donovan
