Governor Manchin, you claim that the bills racing through the Senate came from the State Board of Education. Yesterday you made it very clear that the contents of these bills were not your doing. Clearly, your intent yesterday was to separate yourself from these bills. Why?

Yesterday you made it very clear that the contents of these bills were not your doing. Clearly, your intent yesterday was to separate yourself from these bills. Why?
Then, today Priscilla Hayden, the president of the State Board of Education, sent a letter to legislators informing them that her board supports "Governor Manchin's bills." Whoops!
OK....the gig is up. Now is the time for you, Governor Manchin, and your puppets (the state board) to get your stories straight. You cannot continue this ruse one more day. It is imperative that you hire a choreographer to clearly delineate the roles in this charade. You are confusing your audience.
Governor...Ms. Hayden, you've GOT to come together and work as a TEAM! After all, you have reputations to protect. The whole state is waiting for your encore, and hope to see a better showing. PLEASE, straighten those puppet strings tonight and see if you can come out on stage tomorrow READY TO WORK! If your performance is no better, we're going to have to put you both on improvement plans!
Joe's gonna get the low test scores that he wants, thanks to the Westest questions that aren't EVEN in the CSO's!
Thanks to a Social Studies test that blew the kids out of the water, and a Math test that was very similar, Manchin will blame the teachers.

My grandson participates in the gifted program and is an "A" student, but he just rolled his eyes and said that Social Studies was hard, hard, and harder!
WHEN are we going to use a national standardized test???
Has anyone followed the release of the uniform standards for education across the nation? With Supt. Steve Payne and former gov. Bob Wise in the credits, WV teachers may want to pay attention to it.

1. As student achievement and a greater understanding of curriculum have become more relevant, what are some ways you have found to apply curriculum to previous knowledge? 2. Technology seems to be the way in which education is steering itself. Some believe that technology can lead the way and eventually produce better schools, while others believe that there may be long-term consequences that are not being considered in the rush to use technology. What are your thoughts on this issue? 3. NCLB states that the equitable distribution clause requires states to take steps to “ensure that poor and minority children are not taught at higher rates as other children by inexperienced, unqualified, or out-of-field teachers.” What are you beliefs on this subject and why? 4. How do you view the NCLB act? What is your opinion on the matter? 5. In your years of experience do you feel that your teaching philosophy has helped or harmed your classroom? Have you had to change it? 6. How do you talk to a parent who may not agree with you as a teacher? 7. What steps do you take in the classroom to implement NCLB while obtaining Higher Order Thinking levels for those students? 8. How does your overall school mission coincide with your classroom philosophy that addresses a safe learning environment? 9. How do the styles/ methods you use today differ from those that you used when you first begin teaching, what brought about the change? 10. In your opinion what should the desired outcome (socially, economically, and politically) of the teacher be when teaching students?
Sad as it is, maybe WV can climb out of the 20th century and stop giving politicians a lifelong career.
What are your thoughts of Manchin being in the US senate? If he would happen to win in 2012.
