I heard a lot of yapping about Florida’s plans being applied to Arizona. The big difference is that Florida FUNDED these changes and supports all-day kindergarten and other preparatory initiatives that Arizona has eliminated.

As long as Legislators continue to ignore the impact of poverty on educational performance, test scores will not improve. Parents, who are unemployed or are working 2 jobs or are afraid of being hassled by the cops or don’t speak English well, don’t have the time or skills to help their children succeed in an environment hostile to public education.

Huppenthal has a plan to improve our schools. It can be expected to work: measurment of academic gains accountability at the school district level, measurement of parent and teacher job satisfaction. Bring Florida’s reading technology and methods to Arizona. These major items can be expected to improve the performance of our district schools, particularly Tucson Unified.

“Huppenthal is all into charter and private schools, but 84% of Arizona’s students attend public schools. ”
Do those 84% HAVE to attend public schools? I guess in a world run by left wing union thugs they do.

Anglo-American history is American History only.
