Post a Comment*For what may be both the first and last time, I couldn't agree more with the worst governor in the country when it comes to reforming our high schools. As an instructor of both mathematics and statistics at a local university, I am continually amazed by the lack of knowledge exhibited by college students. It is painfully obvious that the average college student is not prepared to succeed in a college mathematics or statistics class. Perhaps making the high school curriculum tougher, along with the entrance requirements to college, will halt the collapse of the value of a college education.

It really doesn't matter what a Governor says about schools.
It sounds like another unfunded mandate for the "local" school system to bear. Until a Governor
gets the balls to do something about school funding they need not say anything. Right now there's a state law that states schools don't have to provide transportation for high school students. So when a school needs a levy passed, thats their ACE in the hole, they just stop picking up students until the levy miraculously passes.
Thats what the Governor is allowing to happen and thats how apparently he (they) think schools should be funded!!!
Being the worst governor in Ohio history, Bob Taft is blathering about making our students better by making it tougher. Fine. It won't mean anything if the lay-abouts in the Statehouse don't fix how we fund our public schools. And it has been a problem for over ten years. Too bad George Voinovich has a job. There was a governor who did his job.
