Once again the ultra-conservative editors at the NH Union Leader have completely missed the mark. Today they published an editorial on the idea to use “volunteers” to oversee virtual classrooms. This ridiculous idea came from Mayor Gatas as a way to expand charter schools and reduce the cost of education in Manchester. “Mayor Ted Gatsas [...]

I Support Education
The Republicans in the NH-House spent the last two years trying to destroy public education, in an attempt to usher in the era of private and home schooling, at taxpayer expense. I have an LTE in today’s Concord Monitor on the subject: http://www.concordmonitor.com/… New Hampshire’s public schools are performing well. According to NAEP assessments, we [...]

Two have recently written letters to the [...]
What do you Make? Teacher Appreciation Week
This video always gets to me. Teacher Appreciation Week ends today. All week my kids have been bringing in Fruit or Flowers into school for their teachers.

Telegraph: Community college faculty are getting a $1,000 pay bump, but the raises are offset by increases in employee health care expenses. A union representing faculty at the state’s seven community colleges, including Nashua Community College, agreed to a new one-year contract with the Community College System of New Hampshire on Tuesday after 10 months [...]
Do we really need these Constitutional Amendments?
From Granite State Priorities: Wednesday, February 8, the Senate will vote on two constitutional amendments that Granite State Priorities opposes, CACR 6 and CACR 12 (see January 31 for committee details). CACR 6, requiring a 3/5 supermajority vote on taxes, fees and borrowing, would freeze our outdated revenue structure in place, forever. Senator Prescott believes [...]
