"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Thoughtful Thursday

Last night I listened to the news for a recap of the final gubernatorial debate. An education major at a local university who attended the debate came away feeling more confused than ever as to whom to cast her vote. The student said the biggest problem with the debate was that it was "childish and catty" and neither candidate won her vote with the way they interacted with each other. She went on to say they argued about how many jobs were in the  department of education as opposed to talking about the real issues and how they were going to create  better education for the children of South Carolina. At this point she questions if that is how they are going to act in trying to be bi-partisan in the government.

As we approach election day on November 2, my advice is to read and study the issues for each candidate and make an informed decision. Go out and VOTE!
