Monday’s open line


We cannot help but notice that the North Carolina Senatorial District 7 Annual Forum, whose topic is “Tax Reform and Charter Schools: What Does the Future Hold?” is scheduled from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 19. Consequently, no teacher who is actively engaged in doing his or her job can attend.

Teachers are further distanced from the forum by the lack of inclusion of a practicing educator in any of the presentations or panels. By “practicing educator”, we mean someone who instructs children 180 days per school year.

We’ll let you draw your own (hopefully ironic) conclusions on today’s open line.
