Vouchers and "school choice" schemes are losers in rural counties. In Kentucky, Constitutional Amendment 2 (known as School Choice for Parents) lost in EVERY county in the state. Sending taxpayer dollars to private schools is not a "winner" with rural voters. @nrea1@MASALeaders

Power is fleeting. Respect is lasting.
Reputation is not a function of wealth, fancy titles, or prestigious memberships. It's a matter of what we contribute and how we treat others.
Admiration is earned through actions, not positions. The best way to be valued is to add value.
