Tallahassee still messing with education

man falling
Spoke with a friend in Tallahassee yesterday about what is going with the state legislature which is holding its committee meetings. When it comes to education, the big talk is centering around outlawing baggy pants and making P.E. mandatory for middle schools.

Now the state is already requiring two reading classes and two math classes for students who fail the FCAT. When will they have P.E.?

Let the local school boards and superintendent run their schools — not lawmakers in Tallahassee.
