The Iowa House late this morning passed a wide-ranging education reform plan that would require yearly evaluations for school teachers, a test for graduating high school seniors and an extra hour of class time each day for kids in state-funded preschool programs.
Commenting on the bill, Mason City Democrat Sharon Steckman said:
“Unfortunately our ideas that are research based — smaller class sizes, full support of early literacy, teacher collaboration andprofession development and decisions made at the local level by parents, teachers and administrators — were not accepted,”
Meanwhile our own Tom Shaw was also cited in the news report:
“Let’s get to the root issue here,” Shaw said. “We’ve taught young women it’s o.k. to kill your child and the fathers of those children they have no responsibility for it. It’s a free-for-all out there.”
The bill passed the House 56-43.
