While I have still been working on implementing changes at the Catholic school we are in (slowly, carefully, gently although none of that comes naturally to me), I have been putting a certain amount of time into fighting off the privatization of education movement.
I can now breathe a sigh of relief that the levies which were due to take a huge amount of tax money and put it toward charter schools has failed.
Back to a full focus on dyslexia.
Thank you God.
Not that privatization or edu-business is taking this as anything more than a minor setback, it's just that there are so many good people already in that fight. So many caring parents.
In the game of chess a part that's really important is called the end game. In the game of anything else the end game is also really important. I believe that this will ultimately work out the right way in the end game because of this one simple thought:
Never mess with a parent's love for their child.
Politicians should have known better but so often they are clueless, self serving and self absorbed. In this case it's obvious how much that is true. So many of them lost credibility on this issue that it's hard to name the ones who didn't. Not doing their job of actually representing the public good, not a wise move either. Combine that right on in there with the one simple fact above.
I'm expecting we will be seeing some change. I'm certain of it. It's in the air.
