| Collapse all
- Hire a certified, professional educator. Terry Gilbert has spent 14 years in Idaho classrooms and earned a Masters Degree in Curriculum Development. He has been endorsed by the teachers of the Idaho Education Association. Our opponent has only a been a substitute teacher and has no training in Education.
- The future belongs to the children of Idaho and they must be prepared to face it with the best education we can provide. What better way to share Idaho’s budget surplus than to improve and strengthen our schools. Vouchers would weaken our schools by transferring our tax dollars from public schools to private hands.
- Take politics out of Idaho education. Our opponent is supported by the most extreme political forces active in Idaho and nationally. Our children should not be pawns in a political power play.
I have a plan for the future:
-- Create new opportunities for our junior and high school students to learn and explore special interests. We can build “schools within schools” to focus on STEM, Art and Music, Agriculture, and Apprenticeships in Vocational Studies.
-- Make sure our students are safe and prepared for any emergency by investing in the infrastructure of all of our schools, colleges and universities.
From beloved and best-selling author Parker J. Palmer (Let Your Life Speak, The Courage to Teach, Healing the Heart of Democracy) comes a brave and beautiful book of reflections on eight decades of life and work. Reframing aging as "a passage of discovery and engagement", Palmer says, "Old is just another word for nothing left to lose, a time to take bigger risks on behalf of the common good." On the Brink of Everything is not a "guide to" or "handbook for" getting old. Instead, it's Palmer turning the prism of insight on his experience as a way of encouraging listeners to do the same with theirs. In elegant prose and lyrical poetry, he offers a set of meditations on the meanings of one's life - past, present, and future.
