CONVERSATION about choice in education generally centers on the positive effect such programs have for students. From academic gains to improved student mental health, the overwhelming research consensus is favorable.
The Right to Read

A Conversation I Think That The Education Establishment Will Abhor
Most folks know what the NHSBA stands for – The NH School Board Association. Frankly, it is the epitome of the Education Establishment. They know best. They will do what they want, and while they’d like “involved parents,” They don’t brook too much dissent.
Shoutout to Grokster Ian Underwood – a Book Report on Ian’s Books
I have known Cindy Bennet for a while now, and while we may not always be on the same paragraph on things, I admire her as she’s SMAHT, is aware of what’s going on in a whole range of issues, is thoughtful and great to talk to. She also has a YouTube channel here.
NHGOP Elites/Establishment Are Normalizing Autocracy
“Conservative media” in New Hampshire … Mikey Graham’s NH-NeverTrump Journal, Jack Heath’s radio show, Drew Cline’s radio show, etc., etc. … are primarily shills for the NHGOP elites (which they are a part of) and the NHGOP Establishment (of which they are also a part).

Yes, We NEED to Teach Cursive Writing

SB272 Parental Rights
After seeing the Democrats kill SB272, the NH Senate’ Parental Rights bill, last Thursday, I strongly, strongly, strongly suggest that parents get their children out of the public GOVERNMENT schools.

Suing over Pronouns, Homework is Racist, Armed Guards in All TN Schools, and More! – Stack of Stuff #47
It never ends, does it? The Left never stops, never gives up. We who simply just want to be left alone and want Government to do what we pay it to do and nothing more and nothing less have to learn that lesson. “You WILL be made to care” (Erick Erickson) you can add “If … Read more

The mantra, at least in well-run shops was:

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (05/04/23)?
We learned that Senate and House Democrats are fixated on supplying menstrual products in every public bathroom at public expense—this time, they want it provided in state and county correctional facilities at taxpayer expense with SB209. A similar bill, HB421, has already passed in the House, which is now awaiting its fate in the Senate.
