The Learn Everywhere program was an innovative program passed into law that allowed the Commissioner and Board of Education to create rules that allowed curriculum performed outside of the classroom to count for High School credit.

Democrats Support Unions - Oppose Educational Excellence

Democrats Unions – Oppose Educational-Excellence

November 27, 2019

Democrats’ plan at the national, state and local level is to support unions and oppose educational excellence. They are working to curb or reverse the spread of charter schools. Our kids are brilliant and curious. It’s not fair to keep them down by not supporting education that works.

November 24, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Lessons in Left-Wing Activism are Now Part of Elementary School Curriculum

April 3, 2023November 19, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Very few things about this hobby make me go, ‘what the..?’. This, I admit, comes close. Public schools are not just filling heads with progressive mush. The curriculum includes educating elementary school kids in radicalized left-wing community organizing.

November 15, 2019 Skip

A bit late for Veterans Day but the idea behind this is applicable almost every day: …but in my opinion, the biggest threat to America’s future is our unbelievably bad public school system.

Why NH Democrats Didn’t Jump at 46 Million in Federal Funds (Free Money!)

November 8, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Democrats love other people’s money. Nothing they imagine for the government (or their role in it) is possible without that. So, why would they step back from an opportunity at 46 million (free dollars!) in Federal Funds? Tax money they didn’t have to vote to steal.

Education in one picture

October 28, 2019 Ian Underwood

Back in the 1980s, David Letterman’s show occasionally featured something he called The Museum of the Hard to Believe. Here’s something that I think belongs in that museum: A typical school district in New Hampshire spends more money on a 10th grader than it does on a 3rd grader.
