Her history on blogs has always been to talk all this Army stuff like she is the only person to ever serve, and then duck and run when people catch on to her game and make her explain herself.

I understand that some people see things differently, and that’s fine. Reasonable people can have disagreements. And, in all honesty, I would agree that there is much room for improvement, including lessening red-tape, etc. What I don’t put stock in is the easy answer of false choices.

You still talk in politician type terms. Bring it down to the level of the people by explain what you are mumbling about.

1. HOW is public education Rationed?
2. Since you seem to know WHO gets WHAT in education, WHO are you speaking of and WHAT do they get? HOW does POLITICS decide anything. Are we to thik since YOU are SUCH A POLITICAL HEAVEYWEIGHT that your kids get more education than others?
3. BRUTALITY? Education is given as something brutal? HOW?
4. WHO DENIES people education? Give us names! Especially since education funding has increased a billion dollars in 4 years as reported by FITSNEWS! Your daughter is in the BETA Club (did you know that?) so she is allowed an education by someone. Maybe its allowed by the local Warlord.

You seem to side with some lazy teachers that don’t like being held accountable by testing as the measuring tool. You would do away with this. HMMM, thats the point of view that the NEA has. It’s comforting to know you subscribe to their views.

This is one of many reasons you can’t get elected to even the school board against liberal Bleecker Cannon. You are SO SO SMART that the average voter who drives a truck, takes out the trash, and is a Mother of 4 (hey that sounds like your BS) can’t understand you because YOU can’t relate to them. YOU’RE just too smart for us.

After you handle these questions, which you can’t, then we’ll talk about your “tough on crime” platform with regard to abusers.

Story. My unit has people on deployment mission in the HOA – Horn of Africa region. Food distribution is critical to the people, but the War Lords in the region want all aid to come through them so they can ‘distribute’ it to who they want and when they want and how they want. The War Lords are a major problem, but that’s the real world.

Well, South Carolina has its own set of War Lords – the State Legislators and make no mistake they distribute and ration Public Education in the same fashion and often with the same ‘brutality’ as the HOA Warlords do with food.

We all know about taxes; whoever can decide how much of your own paycheck you can keep in your pocket after the government takes its ‘cut’ can control how much you can save, spend or chose to throw away. In the same line, but with a far greater impact: Whoever decides how much education a child can get, when they get it and how they get it can control those children and the adults they will become for a lifetime.

Education is not really that complex. Most human beings are capable of learning what they are taught either formally in a classroom or informally through experience. Of course there are a million other factors that can add or subtract from case to case but given equivalent opportunity and access to a quality education that controls for ‘real world’ detractors most children can and will learn successfully.

But, that model is ‘pie-in-the-sky’ in the real world because of the War Lords.

The solution isn’t easy but, any answer to the education problem has to include breaking the power of the War Lords and getting the ‘food’ directly to the teachers and the students that need to ‘eat’ it. But, as with most institutionalized structures being either TOP DOWN driven or BOTTOM UP driven, education is both.

Teaching and the day-to-day lessons should be BOTTOM UP starting with the teacher being allowed to teach with as little ‘red-tape’ distraction as possible; the Accountability standards or the other hand should be TOP DOWN driven. The problem; it’s hard for the Education Experts to separate those things in education that belong in which column – TOP DOWN items v. BOTTOM UP.

The real education experts are in the classroom so if we are really looking for a solution, start the work by letting the classroom be a classroom, not some bureaucrats or War Lords case study experimental laboratory.

Well, there. That should do it for now.

Katherine

Back to her “political career”. Tell us about your family values platform? How about education? Don’t claim to speak any deeper than the flowery speech you give on education. You might further embarrass yourself. How come you are never invilved in your County or City GOP events. Are you too big for that now that you are all Washington Style.

Run for something else as soon as you can so it will be 5 losses in a row without a win. Why do people not vote for you? You only got 14% in the NMB City Council race and was beaten by that big gov’t liberal Bleeker Cannon for School Board?

Get a real grip on you and your soon to trial husband.

Go read the blog “THE SECRET LIFE OF VAN JENERETTE” an learn all about Katherine as well. That political star won’t shine too bright after you all read it.
