BREAKING NEWS: Opponent Commits to 4 More Years of Failed Policies with Acceptance of Barge Endorsement It’s been interesting to see my opponent’s stances change during the course of this campaign in line with the positions that I’ve held since 2010. It is no surprise that yet another change occurs today as my opponent accepts the endorsement of current State School Superintendent John Barge. By accepting Barge’s endorsement, my opponent is endorsing four more years of pursuing many of the failed policies that we’ve seen coming out of the GaDOE. My opponent is endorsing the continuation and expansion of a failed testing model, a teacher evaluation tool that overburdens our teachers and overemphasizes test scores, a broken relationship with the Governor and General Assembly, and a top-down approach to educational decision making. While some focus on enhancing their political fortunes or career opportunities, I am focused on providing solutions to the challenges facing education in Georgia and articulating a plan that supports our students and teachers. This election is not about Republican or Democrat, it’s about the future of our children, the teaching profession, and education in Georgia. It’s about whether we chose to continue to embrace the failed policies that are negatively impacting our classrooms, or we chose to adopt solutions that set our students and teachers up for success. I call on my opponent and John Barge to both pledge that he wont be hired as an employee, contractor, or consultant to the department should she win. woodsforsuper/PR-opponent-failed-policies.html
