Bruce,
You post here but rarely respond to the comments.
And....GIVE IT UP!
The only way you will see the reform that you seek is to abolish the government owned and run single-payer ( and GODLESS) K-12 schools.
It can take days to write an article like this; so people know exactly what I have to say on a subject.
I don’t want to seem to be lecturing. On the other hand, when people ask me questions, I answer them.
But you, all you’ve ever said to me for five years, or is it eight, is give it up. As I’ve tried to explain to you, give it up is not a position I’m interested in. The country stopped Common Core; I like to think I’m one of the people who helped do that. We’re not going to get anywhere with the expression give it up. In fact, my agenda is to make the public so pissed off they will fight back. So if give it up is all you’ve got to say, you can’t expect me to answer that. Having one answer for all occasions is rarely a help. We have to be strategically and tactically clever. What can we accomplish now and in the near future —that is what interests me.
