Don't take my word on John McCain and education, take a look for yourself at his position on the education issues. I stumbled upon this gem of an article on the NEA website today.The NEA asked all three Presidential candidates to fill out a questionnaire asking for their stances on key education issues. Only McCain did not respond. The whole page of issues and stances can be found here.
Here are a couple of interesting ones.
Issue: Reduce Class Size
Obama: supports
McCain: opposes
Anyone in education will tell you that the smaller the class size, the better. It does not take a brain surgeon to figure out why. Smaller class size = More individualized attention
Issue: Increase Federal Education Funding
Obama: supports
McCain: Opposed Bills to Increase Funding, but Says He Supports Adequate Funding
Opposes any increased spending bill but supports adequate funding must be some more Straight Talk talk.
Issue: Increase Student Aid for College (Pell Grants)
Obama: Supports
McCain: Opposes
Education is the great equalizer in this country. The more people from the lower rungs of the economic ladder that have a chance to get a college education, the more that will climb up into the middle class. I believe in increased opportunity for all, and the hope of economic mobility found on a level playing field. Please click on the link to the full NEA article and read all of the issues. I think it is pretty clear who is a supporter of our public schools and who is not.

MS-SEN: Roger Wicker and Education
First off, I don't want anyone to think I am picking on Roger Wicker. I am picking on Roger Wicker via Wicker's abysmal voting record, which is more than fair game. I have been perusing his voting record, issue by issue, for the last few weeks. If you decide to do the same, my advice to you, don't do it yourself until at least 30 minutes after eating.
Let's take a look at a few of Rubber Stamp Roger's votes in the arena of education. Remember that Wicker is from Tupelo. Tupelo has been a model city with its strong support of public education, combined with the investment of the private sector who enjoy a surplus of skilled, work-ready labor. No municipality in Mississippi has benefited from a community investment in education as has Tupelo.
(Nov 2007) H.R. 3043- Voted NO on additional $10.2B for federal education & HHS projects.
Here is what George W. Bush had to say during his veto.
(Mar 2006) H.R. 609 Amendment 772- Voted NO on $84 million in grants for Black and Hispanic colleges.
Well I don't think this one is a shocker. It is just your standard Republican against anything that will benefit people of color, just move along, nothing to see here. But don't stress, Roger does support some measures for education.
(Nov 2001) H. Con Res. 239- Voted YES on allowing school prayer during the War on Terror.
And prayer is just what our schools will need with Bush, Cheney, McCain and Wicker at the helm, because there will be no funding.

Here is what George W. Bush had to say during his veto.
This bill spends too much. It exceeds [by $10.2 billion] the reasonable and responsible levels for discretionary spending that I proposed to balance the budget by 2012. This bill continues to fund 56 programs that I proposed to terminate because they are duplicative, narrowly focused, or not producing results. This bill does not sufficiently fund programs that are delivering positive outcomes.In other words we can spend hundreds of billions in Iraq, but we can't afford to spend 10 billion here on our own infrastructure, on our own people. (and is duplicative even a word?) Thanks Rubber Stamp Roger, we see where you stand, right next to George W. Bush and John McCain. And did Bush say something about balancing a budget? One could not write such humor if one tried.

No Child Left Behind, Football Edition
I am a huge advocate of education, public education specifically. As a supporter of our public schools I have painfully witnessed the failure of No Child Left Behind. NCLB was designed to create accountability in our public schools. That in itself is great. We have to figure out a way to hold chronically under-performing schools accountable. But we must offer them support and pull them forward with the realization that their failure is our failure. One of the biggest drawbacks to NCLB is that it punishes under-performing districts, further crippling their ability to improve. One post will not even do justice to the inadequacy of NCLB.
I found this on Daily Kos in a user diary. If you are fan of football, this will put NCLB in understandable terms.

NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND - FOOTBALL VERSION, author unknown,
(suggested by Bruce Patterson, Central Michigan University)
1. All teams must make the state playoffs and all MUST win the championship. If a team does
not win the championship, they will be on probation until they are the champions, and coaches will be held accountable. If after two years they have not won the championship their footballs and equipment will be taken away UNTIL they do win the championship.
2. All kids will be expected to have the same football skills at the same time, even if they do not have the same conditions or opportunities to practice on their own. NO exceptions will be made for lack of interest in football, a desire to perform athletically, or genetic abilities or disabilities of themselves or their parents. ALL KIDS WILL PLAY FOOTBALL AT A PROFICIENT LEVEL!
3. Talented players will be asked to work out on their own, without instruction. This is because the coaches will be using all their instructional time with the athletes who aren't interested in football, have limited athletic ability or whose parents don't like football.
4. Games will be played year round, but statistics will only be kept in the 4th, 8th, and 11th game.
This will create a New Age of Sports where every school is expected to have the same level of talent and all teams will reach the same minimum goals. If no child gets ahead, then no
child gets left behind. If parents do not like this new law, they are encouraged to vote for vouchers and support private schools that can screen out the non-athletes and prevent their children from having to go to school with bad football players.

William Winter endorses Childers
Former governor and tireless advocate of public education, William Winter gave Travis Childers his endorsement yesterday. Winter made the endorsement during a visit to Childer's hometown of Booneville according to the Daily Journal.
William Winter was and is to this day, the most forward thinking governor we have ever had in Mississippi. This is a big endorsement.
Winter described Childers, whom he has known throughout Childers' public career and most of his life, as a "model public official."
"He knows the people's needs and has spent his life working for people in this district," Winter said. "This will give him a chance to extend his influence by going to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he will truly be the people's voice."
The governor's education priority also has been Childers' priority throughout his career, Winter said.
"We need Travis Childers to be a spokesman for education," he said.
William Winter was and is to this day, the most forward thinking governor we have ever had in Mississippi. This is a big endorsement.

SB 2149 Passes
Dear Jeff,
We’ve taken one more step toward improved public schools and a better Mississippi! The House and Senate have adopted the conference report for Senate Bill 2149, the bill that holds superintendents accountable for the quality of education provided the children in their school districts.
Both chambers engaged in heated debate about the merits of this bill. Some legislators expressed concern that it was unfair to give superintendents only 2 years to improve failing schools. Others, led by Rep. Kelvin Buck, replied that it was more unfair to sentence children in failing districts to lives of under-education and poverty due to substandard schools. They spoke passionately about the long-lasting, sometimes irreversible, negative effects just 2 years of ineffective education can have on children, and they cited cases in which underperforming schools and districts were improved dramatically in less than 2 years.
In the end, children won the day – thanks in large part to the great support shown for this accountability legislation by parents, teachers, business leaders, and many superintendents (that’s right – superintendents!). You can see a summary of the conference reports on Senate Bill 2149 and HB 513, the education funding bill, at Conference Reports.
To see how your Senator voted on this bill, click SENATE VOTE. To see how your Representative voted, click HOUSE VOTE. To le arn which legislators represent you, click Find My Legislators. Please join me in thanking those legislators who took a courageous stand for children – and for high quality schools – by voting for this important bill.
The 2008 Legislative Session is scheduled to end on Saturday. We will send you, in the next few days, a summary of the legislative initiatives in the Quality Education Act. In the meantime, you can check our website for updates at www.msparentscampaign.org.
Many, many thanks for your tremendous work this session! You stood up for kids, and our whole state will be better for it. All our futures will be brighter as we move toward better schools!
Gratefully,
Nancy

SB 2149: Parent's Campaign Update
I received this from Nancy Loome and the Parent's Campaign on Senate Bill 2149 right after my earlier post. Here is the text:
Dear Jeff,
The House of Representatives today passed Senate Bill 2149 calling for the removal of any superintendent in a school district that is determined to be underperforming for 2 consecutive years under that superintendent’s leadership. The bill was amended, however, to remove the language requiring that affected elected superintendent posts become appointed. While elected superintendents in underperforming districts will be prohibited from running for reelection, their successors will be elected under the amended version of the bill. I will email you the votes on SB 2149 tomorrow.
The bill will now go back to the Senate where that body can concur with the current language or invite conference. It is likely that the bill will go to conference, in which case 3 members from the House and 3 members from the Senate will negotiate compromise legislation.
We at The Parents’ Campaign believe this is an important move toward significant education reform in Mississippi. We are disappointed that the amended version of the bill means that children in districts with elected superintendents will continue to have their leaders chosen from a limited pool of candidates, but we are hopeful that this can be addressed in conference.
I am very grateful for the many calls and emails to Legislators generated by members of The Parents’ Campaign. They made a difference. Many of our members wrote me to say that they believe this is the most significant bill to come before the Legislature this session. Parents across the state have expressed their gratitude that school leaders will be held accountable for the quality of education provided our children.
We will continue to update you on other education legislation as we move through the Legislative Session. You can see the progress made on other education bills on our website at bill status.
We took a big step forward for our kids today!
Many, many thanks,
Nancy
Mixed Bag on SB 2149: A Step Towards Accountability, but Representative Perkins Guts Key Part of Bill with Amendment
Senate Bill 2149 passed the house today after being amended. With the vote still unavailable as of this post, I have no way of telling you the details of either tally. If you are a supporter of public education, the news is a mixed bag. On one hand there lies a victory for accountability. Local school boards will now be able to remove underperforming superintendents after a period of two years. One the other hand, they will not have the ability to choose the most qualified candidate to fill the role. A special election would be held. The superintendent removed would be barred from running for reelection for a period of four years.
Coming out of committee in the House, SB 2149 was exactly what the Mississippi Department of Education, the very people charged with improving our public schools, supported. However there was an amendment proposed that absolutely gutted the intended effect of the bill. As I noted on Cotton Mouth here and here, Mississippi must eliminate elected superintendents. Out of 17,000 superintendents, only 165 are elected. Of those 165 districts, 65 are in Mississippi.
The amendment changed the bill from the version that came out of committee in a key area. Before the amendment, the superintendent position would be appointed in the case of a board removal due to underperformance. The amendment struck this from the bill and replaced it with language allowing for the return to the standard electoral means of choosing a superintendent, after the expiration of the original term of the removed superintendent. Basically the board of trustees would get to remove an underperforming superintendent, but would not get to choose the replacement.
This does provide a measure of accountability, but it does not address a key problem. The position of superintendent is a professional position, and needs to be filled by the most qualified candidate. The field does not need to be narrowed to the residents of the electoral district. Why “hire within” when your schools have been chronically underperforming?
The really pathetic part of this whole story is who proposed the amendment. Representative Willie Perkins, a Democrat from Leflore County, did a tremendous disservice to the children of Leflore County, the delta, and Mississippi with his shortsighted amendment. His amendment helps to preserve a failed system that has long been abandoned by the rest of the country. He should listen to the Mississippi Department of Education, and leaders like Nancy Loome and Hank Bounds. We need to listen to our leaders in education when they make proposals to improve the worst schools in Mississippi.
The bill now heads back to Senate, where it could be passed as is, or if not sent to conference. We will keep you posted...

SB 2149: Steps to Accountability
In a follow up to the post from earlier today, here is a bulletin I recieved from Nancy Loome of the Parent's Campaign. Thanks Nancy for your tireless work for the children of Mississippi.
Dear Jeff,
Tomorrow (Tuesday) is an incredibly important day for Mississippi children. Senate Bill 2149 is likely to be taken up on the floor of the House tomorrow. This legislation promises to do more than perhaps any other to improve the quality of education offered Mississippi children.
Senate Bill 2149 was amended by the House Education Committee and no longer addresses school board selection or school district consolidation. The bill now calls for the removal of any superintendent in a district that is underperforming for 2 consecutive years under that superintendent’s leadership, whether the superintendent is elected or appointed.
Many Mississippi kids simply cannot wait any longer for the Legislature to take this important step. Studies show that when children are subjected to poor education for 1 year, it is difficult for them to recover, for 2 years even more so. And when children are subjected to poor education for 3 or more years, studies show that, in most cases, they never recover from those missed years. In other words, when we consistently subject children to a low quality education, we are sentencing them to lives of underachievement, under- or unemployment, and poverty. That is unacceptable.
This bill also promises to help children in high performing districts, because when all districts perform better, many of the problems facing public education will be resolved. Fewer parents will attempt to send their children to schools outside their district of residency. Fewer children will move into high performing districts underprepared. All children will be educated to higher standards, and student achievement overall will rise. Mississippi can, at long last, begin to move forward.
If you have not asked your Representative to support SB 2149, please do so. You can find contact information for your Representative at Find My Legislators.
Please help us win this important battle for Mississippi children. A brighter future for all our kids is well within our grasp!
Many, many thanks,
Nancy

Education: School Superintendents Should be Appointed not Elected
There have been several pieces of legislation recently regarding how our local school districts governing bodies are chosen. Currently most all of Mississippi's county school district superintendents are elected not appointed. While on the surface this may sound acceptable, a closer look at the way effective school administrations are organized begs to differ.
First let's go over some facts. Mississippi has 152 school districts. Of those districts, 65 elect their superintendents. The United States has over 17,000 school districts nationwide, with only 165 using electoral means to choose a superintendent. The remainder of the 17,000 districts select their superintendent by allowing the local board of trustees to appoint the superintendent. Only two other states (Alabama and Florida) allow for the position of school superintendent to be chosen by an election.
Accountability is one of the main concerns driving the push to make all superintendent positions appointed. How can a board of trustees hold a superintendent accountable when they do not have the power to replace him in case of chronic underperformance? The elected school superintendent works less hand-in-hand with his board of trustees by design , since in effect he answers to the electorate and not the school board.
Mississippi children suffer from certain school districts that under-perform year after year, despite a rash of measures by the Mississippi Department of Education to help them improve. Some of these districts have elected superintendents, which leads to a hamstrung board of trustees, unable to make the critical personnel decisions at the top necessary to hold the person responsible for the performance of the district accountable. A situation like this would be unthinkable in the private sector.
Another major reason for the role of superintendent to be appointed is to expand the field of eligible candidates. For a person to be a eligible to run for the office of superintendent he or she must reside in that district. This severely narrows the field of qualified candidates. The superintendent position is a professional position, requiring advanced education experience and degrees. It is not a position to be filled by anyone who can get majority vote, but by the most professionally qualified. It makes sense to elect positions such as alderman and supervisors, but not school administrators, due to the professional nature of the position. Often times, the best person for the job may be found across county or even state lines. For instance the Tupelo Public School District prospered when they hired North Carolina native Richard Thompson.
Blowback for this proposal comes from elected superintendents who fear for their jobs. When in actuality it will be a help to them provided they are doing their job. Currently they have to find a balance between being an educator and a politician, in effect robbing from them the necessary time and energy required to be a professional educator. They will no longer have to be an educator who doubles as a politician, or in some dismal cases a politician who doubles as an educator. Some of our severely underperforming districts reside in our poorest areas of the state where jobs are scarce. Unfortunately sometimes these schools lose focus of their purpose, and are viewed more as a source of employment for the community rather than a place of education charged to ensure the future success of the children of the community they serve. The idea of having their feet held to the fire frightens them, but the Mississippi Department of Education and all educators statewide have a job to do and it must be done if we as a state are to rise above our current economic status. That is for certain.

MSU Over 17,000 for 1st Time In History
For the first time in its University History, Mississippi State is officially over 17,000 students. Its is 300 students under Ole Miss.
"MSU has 17,039 students - up 833 from the autumn 2006 semester. This marks the first time in MSU's 129-year history it has enrolled more than 17,000 students, according to the university."
Yet despite having 69,000 students enrolled in high education, only 17% of Mississippi residents hold a Bachelor's Degree. Which is reported as 25% less than the national average.
Schools are definitely looking to increase enrollment, MSU through their StateOfTheFuture Campaign. But average tuition is said to be at $4,500 yearly, with most yearly ( 9 years in a row) increases fronted by Mississippi families. And the high school graduation rate is still at 61%, with ACT scores 50th in the nation.
While not to reign on my Bulldogs parade, these numbers are more important than 19-14, whether good or bad. Mississippi School pride needs to be more than X's and O's. We need to cheer for progress in the State, and question the status quo when "the bell tolls".
