Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on my many blessings, not the least of which is being part of a great community of people. I am thrilled and thankful to be associated with such dedicated people who go the extra mile to help a neighbor in need.COVID-19 has strongly impacted our lives. Elevated inflation and soaring interest rates, high costs for petroleum products, the mounting cost of living and the barren shelves at the supermarkets are now, regrettably, a part of everyday life.
With Thanksgiving, perhaps now more than ever I appreciate the fact that the most important things in our lives involve family and friends. No one can take that away from us. In my case, I am especially thankful for and grateful to my wife and her daughter. I am enormously proud of what they as educators have accomplished to assist young adults and how they have given back to the world in many loving ways.
But I admire the way Frisch handled losing this race: like an adult and like a leader. No baseless claims of fraud, veiled threats or efforts to burn down what we — all Americans — have built over the past almost 250 years. I applaud this op-ed. Haven’t we had enough of only STAAR? Most agree, and as a four-time elected school board trustee, I spent little time focused on STAAR test results. STAAR doesn’t measure learning. The high-stakes nature of this test reflects poverty. It punishes students, educators, schools and districts more often, confusing communities and legislators with its results.
