WHEW!

A big cheer today for those who went in and voted to keep the Massachusetts income tax. I'm proud of us! Good for us for knowing that our tax dollars go to support real programs that would have been devastated without the income tax. Way to go!

And, in getting back to our regularly scheduled programming, the town of Sharon is continuing their discussion about the focus of education in town:

Salomons has submitted a proposal that seeks community support for allowing
teachers to avoid tailoring their lessons to the MCAS. Instead, she would
like to see teachers directed to instruct students on skills the district
has deemed necessary for survival in the 21st century, including critical
thinking, invention, problem-solving, and multicultural collaboration.
