Randy Dorn on the WASL: KILL IT WITH FIRE!

The News Tribune sez it is so, and thus it will be so. I particularly like this comment from "jcathall", who may have been Randy's campaign manager because I don't know who was:

Can you give me one example of how Randy can add origniality and creativity to the process?

Personally I don't think Randy is competant to do the job. I only hope that he is incompetant enough not to hurt anything effectivly before my children graduate highschool.

People accuse Obama of having a Cult of Personality around him, but the Google shows us a lot about what people think Randy is going to do. From a search for "Randy Dorn will":

• ...be a forceful advocate for school funding
  
• ...replace the WASL with a simpler, fairer test
  
• ...replace the WASL with a better, fairer test
  
• ...replace the WASL with a fair and useful exam that is diagnostic
  
• ...correct this waste of taxpayer dollars by replacing WASL
  
• ...replace the WASL with a cheaper, fairer, less time-consuming, test
  
• ...Provide Leadership for School Funding

...et cetera, et cetera.

The take-home, then, is that Randy has a hell of an agenda facing him, but there's also a ton of pressure coming from the Legislature via the Basic Ed Finance Taskforce, as well as the various special interest groups like my own WEA.

Good luck and God speed, Superintendent Dorn. You're going to need it.
