First we need some elected officials that actually give a damn about governing the state.

We also need to remember to keep demanding the state reinvest in public schools- the amount that state funding has gone down over the last decade, even pre-recession, has had a big impact on class size.

If residential development isn’t planned with the schools in mind, we are going to lose the schools. Some teachers are already afraid the reasons CSD is good- such small class sizes, good about resources per child – are already compromised.

Mr. B, you have disappointed me. Not by speaking up here, but rather by letting one bad experience lead to a decision not to participate in the community process, political as it may be. I would hope you of all, a gov’t teacher, would be a champion of citizens participating as much as possible, so that all types of voices are heard, regardless of the frustration felt by those in the minority. While I think the way we draw political lines is idiotic (I won’t quite say rigged), I will continue to push for my state-government minority voice to be heard, as I was encouraged by my most inspirational teacher (a gov’t teacher).
