Tonight on "Iowa Press" Dave Price, WHO TV was one of the 3 panelists.....The abortion flap, 3rd District Congress elections and the Governess were all topics of conversation.
Price pointed out at the Reynold's is pushing hard her "tax money" for private schools, especially for "special private gatherings (fundraisers)"........One of the handouts she issues to attendees states that Iowa test scores in Math and reading have decreased over the last 20 years.....So her idea is to send some small population public schoolers to "private schools" along with some tax money....What Reynolds fails to mention is that for the nearly half of time she cites as a concern, she (Reynolds) has been in the state Senate, Lt. Governor and Governor....so she is admitting that her time in leadership has been a failure in education. She is also quick to point out that Iowa teachers are about in the middle of pay scale nationally, but points out states where the math and reading scores are higher but teachers are being paid less......She is pointing out the fact that schools in Iowa are failing their kids, UNDER HER LEADERSHIP. (I think Price used the phrase "fantastically interesting" in describing Reynold's strategy in this area.)
Tonight's program was quite interesting....it will be replayed Sunday at Noon, I think.
