A sign of intellect is the ability to change your mind in the face of new facts.
A mark of wisdom is refusing to let the fear of admitting you were wrong stop you from getting it right.
The joy of learning something new eventually exceeds the pain of unlearning something old.
I hope my friends on the right are listening to voices like Franklin Cody; Vermont will be better off if they do.

@thevpo1 Well at least you didn't criticize my 'room'. And I use South Burlington as examples I am familiar with. I stated clearly that we need more equitable weights and I also stated there are two sides to the 12b discussion. But thanks for the advice John!
To all my friends who teach in public schools in Vermont, Secretary of Education Dan French just stated they are asking all of you to complete a Vaccine preference/sign-up form by this Monday - great news for all educators who want to be vaccinated ASAP.
@momdogz @KatieFM @martineguli The last question asks about interest level...secretary French said it had just been decided and they were hoping to collect the info quickly. I hope I didn't misspeak on this.
@thevpo1@vtdigger I reached out and spoke with leadership about this...and I'm new to this. They didn't express concern with my stated reasons for not supporting the disapproval. But to your point, I'm always going to vote my conscious. I prob would have been a yes with more time.
@thevpo1@vtdigger Happy to offer my reasons. We had 90 days but we took action in two weeks. Id like to see what was proposed to be considered with more testimony and due process.
