To evaluate the quality of teachers, and other important criteria for a quality school, go the Education for Democracy.
If there are many areas that are low in quality for your school and you wish to effect changes that will greatly improve your school, the steps to take and the questions to ask of your school district's board of trustees, are at Education for Democracy: What you can cause your district to do (my name for that link; Ken calls it "What your district can do.")
Greatschools.net can help you to evaluate test scores, teacher quality and to comparison shop for a school in your area or in an area you are considering moving to. Or if you want to move and you want to find a district with better schools than where your children are presently enrolled.
Racial Privacy and the ‘Roots’ of Proposition 54
By Adam Abraham
SAN DIEGO (August 1, 2003) -- The Racial Privacy Initiative, touted by some as a conservative or anti-affirmative action measure, is now Proposition 54. The Proposition’s mission statement is available on the official RPI web site (www.racialprivacy.org).
“Passage of RPI (now Proposition 54) will do many things: end government’s preferential treatment based on race, junk a 17th-century racial classification system that is rapidly growing irrelevant in 21st-century America, and save our state budget a minimum of more than $10 million each year. Most importantly, Proposition 54’s passage will create America’s first real working model of a government body that actually affords a greater measure of equal protection to all of the citizens it is mandated to serve.”
Equal protection. Is that idea scary to some people?
