Model Tennessee schools after nation's most successful

The July 9 article "Haslam stands by beleaguered education chief" is no surprise. Haslam has shown that he is anti-public education since he came into office.

Kevin Huffman is implementing Haslam's policies. They embrace the ideas from mediocre public school systems in the country instead of from the most successful.

Why is the Haslam administration emulating mediocre systems instead of the top systems in the nation? Since the top five public school states in the U.S. are mostly governed by Democrats, political pride could be the motivation. Haslam is disingenuous about educating the future citizens of the state. He is more interested in penny-pinching school budgets than educating our children.

The results from investing in education are manifested long-term. On the other hand, investments in businesses provide instant gratification and help Republicans remain in power.
