February 10, 2019 at 03:20PM -
A recent poll commissioned and published by OCPA (Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs) indicating widespread support of school choice (76%) also included the following information: “If you could select any type of school in order to obtain the best education for your child or children, and financial costs and transportation were of no concern, what type of school would you select?” Traditional...

One Two Three, What Are We Voting For?

June 24, 2018 at 09:25PM -
After spending nearly a decade heavily involved in politics, it's quite a departure for me to admit I can't name all the candidates running for Lt. Governor off the top of my head. I'll be honest...I'm not even sure I can name all 27 - or however many - gubernatorial candidates. Sadly, I'm not dying about it. Why? I'm still plugged in enough to know who to go to for...

What On Earth Could Be Wrong With Student Activism?

May 06, 2018 at 05:08PM -
Though it definitely frustrated me to see teachers leave their classrooms and picket the legislature for more taxpayer funding of public education - shutting down some schools for as many as two full weeks - the level of activism displayed by high school students on this issue bothered me more.

Parent Guest Post: What I Learned From The 2018 Teacher's Strike

April 17, 2018 at 10:09AM -
Attribution: ABC news This post was sent to me by "Elizabeth": I have never thought of myself as any kind of activist. I have never marched in protest or in support of anything that I can remember. It isn’t that I don’t have opinions – I definitely have them. There are often facets to issues or politics that I don’t understand or, more likely, haven’t taken the time to research. But...

Can A School Force Your Child To Take State Tests?

April 14, 2018 at 06:28PM -
Today I received a communication from a ROPE reader. She told me she had received a letter from her Assistant Principal in response to her request to opt her child/children out of state testing. The letter said, in part: As guided by the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE), indicating laws and rules set by our legislature, we are required to assess all enrolled students who are present...

No, The Independent Audit Commission is NOT Tasked With Auditing The OSDE

April 09, 2018 at 05:45PM -
Last week, ROPE created a website with a petition to AUDIT THE OSDE. Two things: 1. NO, we are NOT collecting signatures for a referendum vote on the taxes passed during this session by our legislature. Yes, there is a group to do that - Oklahoma Taxpayers Unite. Have we shared their information? YES. But here's the kicker - if we wanted you to sign their referendum petition, we'd ASK YOU TO...
