It's back to school and sorry to say, back to the conflict between educators and our state superintendent of schools and the legislature. I volunteered to work a shift at the phone bank, asking for NO votes on the referendum of the education bills that will be on the ballot this November. Terry was a good sport and came along with me. He has a great phone voice.
We were actually just calling people who had signed the referendum petitions. It was shocking how many of the phone numbers were no good. In three hours, I only talked to 23 people, and some of those were wrong numbers. About half of the numbers are no longer in service. Cell phones have brought a lot of instability and change. We can have one by our side at all times, but getting a hold of people with cell phones is tough.
People I did talk to were supportive or confused. I long for the days when I was a teacher, not a political activist. I'm back to school tomorrow, and counting the days until November.
