I'm convinced you can get great quality of education at a huge variety of schools. And that's coming from someone who is a graduate of Harvard.

Does spending more per student lead to increased learning? That's a difficult one. At many schools, the faculty is being paid for its research abilities, not its teaching skills.

Our community must protect basic education for its children. Today, our schools can still deliver a quality product. But with more than $15-million in tough cuts already made and more coming, that quality is at risk. To protect education, and the investment we have made in our homes and in our community, we need to pass our issue in May.

A large part of the public sentiment was my own, ... They saw an absurd quality, a mendacious quality in many of our political leaders and business leaders.

It's important for the schools to make sure they new hires are of the quality they want. It's one more thing we can do to make parents feel safe leaving their children with these teachers.

I don't understand it. Early in the season, we were playing quality 6A schools and we were competing with them. We'd either lose a close match or win a close match. I don't really know what's going on with them now.
