But I don't see how this point or Quang's adds any value to the original post. Matsuda has also authored a few books for children.

It is disgraceful, but the teachers/CSEA members are not helping the situation. The school board missed the train in refusing to hire Kim Oanh. They must enjoy the drama. Partisan breakdown: Teacher's slate: 2 Dems 1 Rep Our Children Our Voice Slate: 1 Dem 1 Rep 1 DTS (write in) Education Alliance Slate: 3 Reps The results will be interesting. I just hope the teacher slate and the Our Children Our Vote Coalition do not split to let the Education Alliance slate in. That is REALLY scarey. I really hate the teacher/union bashing.

Partisan breakdown:

Teacher’s slate: 2 Dems 1 Rep
Our Children Our Voice Slate: 1 Dem 1 Rep 1 DTS (write in)
Education Alliance Slate: 3 Reps

The results will be interesting. I just hope the teacher slate and the Our Children Our Vote Coalition do not split to let the Education Alliance slate in. That is REALLY scarey.
