[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mandatory school calendar idea is very un-Republican, when the Republican party has traditionally been about local control.  Let each county determine its educational needs and plan accordingly.

It's not just about starting after Labor Day, remember.  It's also about not being allowed to go too far into June.   He and Franchot are extending summer break to benefit business, not children. [/quote]

+1. Hogan is a hypocrite.  Local control is best for Republicans unless it can be used to sell out school kids for business interests.[/quote]

And liberals are usually very comfortable trampling on the independence of cities or states when trying to enact federal or statewide mandates.  Neither side is being consistent with its usual position here, which honestly isn't all that shocking since their are innumerable examples of politicians (of both parties) taking stand A when it benefits them and stand B when things have changed.

I'm not a huge fan of Hogan's school mandate, but I don't think it is really going to affect educational outcomes and it isn't something that is going to factor into my decision (which I am still up in the air about) of who to vote for this fall.[/quote]
