The theory of evolution seems to be the mainstream thinking in public schools, and yet no one practices it. How did Humans get put outside this theory? How is it that so many educated people get so fired up at creationists and then make policies based completely on biblical ideas of stewardship. How is man's activity outside of evolution? If we kill Seals to protect Salmon, it's because we value Salmon more...I mean really who eats seals.

It would be nice if teachers could help in developing a system to measure student success, if not testing than how? I am a parent who has had both great and not so great teachers...how would teachers suggest we on the outside judge job performance? and then act on poor teachers?

I was under the impression that Oregon had the unique distinction of having the entire coast line be a state park, is this not true and why isn't this a parks issue?

Public Schools have become like hospitols, the more likely to recover get better care, the more likely to succeed get more attention...up until TAG, where these kids get used like a teacher's aid and not as a brighter bulb.
