My governor - gotta love him
Too bad he won't run for the senate, but he's done a great job for florida.
No Blanco is Jeb
during the hurricanes
He tells you straight out - get out, then when you've dawdled he says stay in your home, because we can't get to you until a few days after the storm has passed.
In this state response is city,county,state,national, in that order, and in about that many days.
#1. Give every child in the state of Texas a $5,000 chit to the private school of the family's choice. (The state is now spending aout $10 G's per kid.)
#2.Close every public school in the state. Sell all their assets. Return the money to the taxpayers of Texas.
#3. Stand back and let the market take over. There would be so many new and better private schools coming on board competing for these students that it will make your head swim.
#4. Dissolve the TEA. Teachers must compete for jobs. No more tenure. Teacher's pay would be higher due to the fact that say a classroom had 18 kids in it. 18x$5000=$90000. Plenty of money to pay teachers adequately. Each school would have 1 principal--the schools would not be these huge monstronsities we have now--no need for excessive bureaucrats.
#4. Let the parents have input into the school--free reign to see and hear what is being taught. Parent involvement is key to any kid's education.
Okay--I'll come back down to earth now.
One does not need school reform. What one needs is reform schools.

If you have asked to be added to this list, and haven’t been receiving the pings, please let me know. I’ve had a problem with my file synchronization between my home and work computer, and apparently have lost some names on the list. I think I have the problem fixed, and will gladly re-add your name.
