In my opinion, Harry Wiggins’ Op-Ed Letter of September 10 misses the issue at hand and badly.
I’ve known Harry on a personal level for many years and I consider him a friend, however his letter is a red herring. James Young’s election as President of the Committee of 100, on a slated ballot for which Harry and many Democrats voted for, is not the issue.
On September 3, I had the opportunity to attend the Roundtable Discussion at Brooke Point High School with Governor Terry McAuliffe and Secretary of Education, Anne Holton. The event took place in the brand new library – a high-tech learning space to foster collaboration and innovation among students. The takeaway from the discussion with 20+ parents that morning was that investing in teachers, reducing classroom size, and bringing innovation back into our schools will build a more prosperous Virginia for us all.
These parents made it abundantly clear that we must reform the SOLs. As one parent mentioned, previous generations sent a man to the moon and they never took a single SOL test. We need to empower teachers to be creative and innovative in the classroom again.
