Title: Governor Kasich campaign and Ohio's schools....
Post by: AllanY2525 on February 11, 2016, 11:42:47 PM
I read an interesting article in the Washington Post the other day about Kasich's campaign, and
the condition of the school system in Ohio.....

Thoughts, anyone ??

To paraphrase one of Kasich's remarks, I'd say, "If you're terrible governor,

look for another job...".  He has never been a friend to educators, and his

actions in supporting charter schools (as an ALEC Republican) and in taking

over the Youngstown schools only prove his erroneous thinking.  I'm not

surprised to know that Ohio's ranking has fallen to such a degree under his

watch.  I bet his deceased father who was a postal worker is turning over in

his grave at his son's antics.

Kasich wants to dismantle the public school system in Ohio....He would love to eventually turn all schools into charter schools and terminate teacher unions.

With the recent scandal coming to light regarding the charter schools,  he might have a problem with that........

I doubt kasich will acknowledge that the Ohio charter schools are a failure for the Ohioans children.
