A CAPABLE, COMMON-SENSE, CARING CANDIDATE

Hi Jean,


I'm glad to see your blog is already up and running:

http://now-is-the-time-to-save-our-schools.blogspot.com/

I’m thrilled that you are running for School Board. With your background and experience, you will bring a much-needed breath of fresh air to the board. But beyond that, I believe your suggestions, some innovative and some old-fashioned “back to basics,” could turn this school system around, producing better, smarter, and happier students with better prospects for the future.

I have two questions for now, and hopefully you can answer more for us in the coming weeks on this blog:

1. Could you elaborate on what you feel kids should learn in grades one through three, and why these are such important years?

2. Why are you opposed to grading schools? Obviously you feel this is harmful. Why? What are its ill effects?

Thanks, Jean.
