I recently wrote State Senator Florence Shapiro, who is Chairman of the Senate Education Committe, with a request that our esteemed legislature act of school vouchers. Her response was vague and contingent upon someone coming up with a formula that would satisfy recent court rulings. It did not fill me with confidence, especially since I thought SHE and her colleagues for responsible for craft just the formulation she seemed to be waiting upon unnamed "others" to create.
Also, her web site says she is a "champion for public education and continues to dedicate herself to improving the state's education system." And to think, she is a Republican from Plano. Anyone familiar with her? I think she could stand to have some cards and letters sent her way.
PS - Sorry for the typos in my previous post. I think the ghost of John Dewey's wife has been sent to bedevil me.
