What do you think about What the Governor & legislature have done to Education? What can we do about it?
Because of the reckless and short sighted actions taken by our elected representatives in Raleigh, the credibility of our schools and teachers has been undermined. North Carolina’s standing in the nation has been denigrated. We have been pushed into the ranks of other states which have no reputation for looking after their children and their future.
For rural counties such as ours, where education is the key to the future of our children and to economic development in the region, we have suffered a serious blow to our long term viability. Why, for example, would any company come into a county whose educational system will not be able to provide the skills for our young people to compete with other communities, states and nations? They won’t.
North Carolina’s and our counties’ future is dependent upon leadership in Raleigh which makes clear, again, that our state values education by putting our money where our mouth is.
