We are currently in an extreme economic recession/depression. Our unemployment is recorded at 9.1%, but realistically much higher. When compared to other countries we are a far cry from the most intelligent. The answer to our problems seems so simple. It has to be Education.
Education is an extremely important aspect of our society. Tomorrow, I hope to receive answers on how to better equip our public schools to succeed. It excites me to be allowed to visit my grade school/ middle school Alma Mater, Grove School, in Shawnee, OK. I received a world class education and I believe it prepared me, more so than High School, to succeed in life after school. I will report with my findings and hopefully I will be prepared to help our schools when I am elected to the Oklahoma State House in 2012.
I hope to meet with local Home School groups in order to better understand their outlook on education. My wife was home schooled and I believe her to be one of the most intelligent women I know.
Brit Lit Extra -
I read Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway this week for my British Literature class. It is another novel I have read before, but it brings to mind a cold truth that we must accept as a war time nation. Our men and women must be given proper medical support when they return from a war zone. I am so thankful for the work they do in order to insure our freedom and the liberty of all mankind. We must not forget the soldier when he returns to civilian life.
God Bless the Troops,
Justin Wood
