Amendment 1is bad for Georgia
From: "Bertis Downs" bertisdowns@me.com Date: October 24, 2012 2:13:30 PM EDT To: Subject: Amendment 1 Friends, As you know, there are many sides to any argument and certainly in the case of the upcoming vote on the proposed Charter Schools Amendment, plenty of words have been spilled by both the Pro and No forces. I am against amendment 1, but I will also tell you what I am FOR: good schools for all kids. All kids. That to me is the only goal worth fighting for in education. I don't think setting up an appointed commission to establish special state charter schools will move us toward that goal. Thus my No vote. Of the various columns written recently, I will call two to your attention from the past couple of days that I consider particularly worthwhile: Jason Carter in the Atlanta Constitution: http://tinyurl.com/9gk2aws Dick Yarbrough in the Macon Telegraph: http://bit.ly/TRs42s ...
