[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 290407, member: 3373"] In my years in education every election it seemed that most people voted for whoever's name they recognized and that was the incumbent. It's not a position that many people pay much attention to. In reality the position sounds important because education is vital to everyone's future. The truth is that the best education decision's are made locally and starting with good teachers. Good teachers can follow any rules the state and local boards make with minor adjustments that benefit students and still do what the people in the ivory towers insist be done. Every year, when I was involved, we had to send reports to the state. Many times it became a case of "tell them what they want to hear and do what we wanted to do." Pretty sure if any of you are in a job where you have to follow government rules you do the same. In Baesler's case I can't say she's done a bad job as State Superintendent, her personal life hasn't passed any tests and she probably needs to retake that class. [/QUOTE]
