OPINION: 'There is a war in education between the crusaders for mediocrity, and those who want academic vigor,' writes state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne.
Superintendent Tom Horne Special to the Arizona Daily Star The following is the opinion and analysis of the writer:
Their first criticism is that I prioritize getting police officers into the schools. Under the school safety grant, schools in the past chose between officers and social workers. I support social workers. I served for 24 years on a school board, and the first 4-1 vote against me was when the others wanted to eliminate social workers. I voted against it because students need someone to talk to when they have emotional problems.
There are no massacres at police stations because there are people there who can defend themselves. Our children deserve to be defended also. Some teachers reported to me that social-emotional learning took up 40 minutes per day. Our philosophy is that every instructional minute is precious. The implication is that students should be able to commit crimes and interfere with other students learning without consequence. This philosophy makes academically rigorous learning impossible, and I have letters from teachers saying they’ve received no support regarding disruptive students.
