The Texas Education Agency has been getting it from me a little bit lately. I'm no policy wonk, I don't care about diving into deep discussion on dropout rates, curriculum planning, appointees qualifications or a long list of things.
But, I do care about a few things...I don't expect political agendas to creep into education policy. I expect the public school system to work, to educate our children and prepare them for college or for the work force. I expect teacher's to get a fair wage for the hard work they do in teaching some of these little ungrateful no-neck monsters.
Even through those things that I do care about, I rarely release a diatribe like this one from the Laredo Chameleon.
So, in the spirit of one of my guilty pleasure favorite songs...There are worse things I could do.
I could write about school vouchers and how I think they will ultimately destroy public education. I could go to meetings and chat up the officials and make them think I agree with them and then write a scathing rebuke of their policies. I could pretend that leaders should not be held accountable for making poor decisions.
But to cry in front of you...that's the worse thing I could do. (Now enjoy the great Stockard Channing)

She looks better with age. Maybe it's all those wife of the president roles. I dunno. And she's no singer.
