YOU CAN’T HELP NOTICING

You can’t help noticing all the signs of local and state politicians running for office or for re-election on every highway and byway.

Yesterday, I remarked to my husband that I now feel sorry for the incumbent school superintendent who is running for a third term. Here is a woman who was totally unqualified for the job to begin with, but was bolstered by our local Republicans as a great educator although she only has an associate degree from our community college then finished her education with a degree at one of our state colleges. She taught school for a while before entering politics.

Why do I feel sorry for her? Her friends are no longer her friends simply because they are now friends with someone who has no more qualifications as an educator but has more clout. 

I sincerely feel badly for the woman who unfortunately according to the latest news now has large numbers of Democratic teachers registering as Republicans in order to vote against her. It’s obvious they don’t feel she is qualified to be their leader.

Don’t you think it’s time for the job of the Pasco Superintendent of Schools to be filled by a qualified educator not another elected politician?
