When and why and who decided that politicians should dictate policy, etc., to schools. I am sure there are many, paid by the state, with impressive education degrees who are well educated and informed on how best to educate our school children, here in Ohio, and each state has similar well educated educators on their payroll.
We hired highly qualified people to run our schools and then we have some half baked politician tell them what to do. I never really understood why we have "school boards." The district spends thousands of dollars, to find a qualified candidate, probably with a PhD, to be Superintendent of Schools, and then have a "Board Meeting" and some Walmart Cashier, who was "elected" to the Board, conceivably by voters who never graduated from high school, and they have the audacity to tell the PhD how things should be done.
Many "Boards" look good on resumes, but serve no practical function. Why hire qualified, well educated people to do their jobs, and then have totally "unqualified" people tell them how to do their jobs?
