Quote of the Week "Character is doing the right thing when no one is watching" J.C.Watts William’s Position on Education The elections of 2002 present an excellent opportunity for meaningful change of the education system. By now, you’ve probably heard all of the statistics about the deplorable state of education in Georgia. We rank at the bottom and I am not going to beat that drum any more. The challenge of candidates running for public office is to develop a workable plan to ameliorate the conditions of failing schools in Georgia. As your Congressman, I would introduce and support legislation that would drastically reform public education. I would give parents control over the selection of schools. Streamline the layers of bureaucracy. The savings would be used to increase teacher pay and to provide technology for     schools. Remove unruly kids from classrooms. Teachers complain about the inability to complete their daily tasks because of     disruptive behavior from kids. Give authority to a parent/teacher review board to take over failing schools and implement changes. Georgia did not get into this position overnight and to expect immediate improvement is unrealistic. We must take corrective steps today and in the words of President Bush, "Leave No Kid Behind." Our future as a competitive state is depended on improving the education system in Georgia. In The News Georgia - 13th District Democratic Fight Takes Shape in New Ga.
