The success of democracy in the United States depends upon educated and involved citizens. When we aren't involved, special interest groups fill the void. When we aren't educated, we often make uninformed choices. The role of schools is to help our children find their gifts in life and become effective citizens by providing them information, experiences, and role models. With reduced funding and increasing class size, DSUSD needs a singular focus on "all things instructional" when making policy and expenditure decisions -- not on "nice to haves." We can make DSUSD better, even in these times! As a 30-year management consultant and former partner with Price Waterhouse, I have helped hundreds of organizations in seven countries with creative problem solving. For the past three years, I have substituted in K-12 in almost every school in DSUSD and PSUSD. Also, I am the founder of Good Citizen, a non-profit committed to teaching Americans how to be effective citizens + goodcitizen.org. I am a quick study, respect difference, value common sense, and think independently. Our children are the country's next generation. We owe it to them to give our best effort. Please help me help the Kids of DSUSD! HomerForDSUSDKids.org |
