Years ago, the distinguished education scholar John Goodlad summed up the case against vouchers (a.k.a. "school choice") in a single sentence: To focus on getting "a child [into] a school perceived to be good [is to] destroy the notion that all our schools must be commonly good."
Then why do we limit the opportunities by funding our public schools the lowest in the country? Our students deserve lower class sizes and the supports they need to be successful in school.
How many brilliant peope will we diagnose with adhd or dyslexia?

In Ojibwe our word for drum is odewegan. Also translates to the sound of our heart. @WabKinew is not only a Premier he’s also a lead singer at the big drum.
