wow!! how difficult is it to look up people on your местный борд?? I just looked it up - even in the southern state of Florida it's mostly highly educated people - some have medical degrees, degree in education, even law degrees..my problem would be and mu guess - most of those people are liberal, and their approach to education is liberal - excuses, excuses, excuses for everyone - students, teachers, parents..so, unless parents or people with traditional views start getting involved and make changes, there is no way education will improve..can't imagine federal level bureaucrats improving education through the federal agency..
