Anyone read this Sunday's Advertiser's Focus section on the two candidates for the HSTA's top position?
The question asked was basically what the HSTA can do to improve education as defined as the interaction between a teacher and student in the classroom.
The incumbant, Roger Takabayashi answered the essay question directly while the challenger, Vice President Joan Lewis kept focusing on what the HSTA can do for it's members, rarely if ever directing her answer to the needs of the student in relation to the teacher.
As my wife indicated, Ms. Lewis failed to answer the question in her well-written and thought out essay response BUT she missed the point entirely. Basically she failed to address the question as posed to her...in other words...she didn't get it. Amazing and to think she's the VP for the HSTA. This can't be good for the welfare of our public school students.
Like was she ever a teacher at all?
