The Education Wars

Too bad the pollsters didn't ask ME what I think of Washoe County School District:

According to a recent annual community poll, 55 percent of Washoe County voters believe the Washoe County School District is headed in the right direction, a 6 percent gain over 2008.

Voters cited as the top reasons for agreeing with the district’s direction that it’s doing well in general, they know students who are performing well in school and that the hiring of Superintendent Heath Morrison has bolstered WCSD’s goals of transparency, communications and instituting a stronger vision.


I attribute this to the wholesale ignorance of the public of not only what public school culture is really about, but the ignorance of where Eli Broad flunky Heath Morrison is coming from philosophically.
