Atlanta Forward: Education

Our new Georgia election calendar means voters have to return to the polls Tuesday to vote in the runoff for several key posts, including the Democratic and Republican nominees for state school superintendent. The four candidates know their fates depend on turnout, and I describe their last week traveling the state to remind voters of the election. If any of the candidates is looking for advice on retaining good teachers, a young teacher offers some advice in a guest column on improving conditions for his profession. And readers sound off about the election, including whether the state school superintendent has any real power anyway.
