Imagine if we weren't watching our education system go completely down the tubes

What are you doing about it, besides watching?

I'm involved and engaged in our local school system, though my schedule doesn't allow me to run for a position on the school board. I am, however, referring to the fact that the Scott administration doesn't particularly value a strong public education system, and I am very much opposed to Dan French. I would hope a different governor would see the value in supporting better pay for teachers and working to reestablish a strong force of quality teachers throughout the state. 10+ years ago, Vermont had a very good public school system. Beginning before Governor Scott came to office, the quality and reputation has been steadily declining, and I know, first hand, of several long time Vermont educators who have gone to NH or changed fields entirely because of frustration with the direction of things.

Vt has some of the best education in America already thought. Plus we spend wayyyyy more per student than the national average already.

Throwing money at stuff isn't always the answer.
