The new school year is an exciting time. Students meet new teachers, reconnect with friends, and have an opportunity to learn the knowledge and skills they need to graduate ready for the workforce or further education.
Graduation is a goal we must demand for all students. The cost of young people dropping out of school is too high, for the individual and for our society. From the 4- and 5- year-olds in their first day of kindergarten, to our elementary, middle, and high school …

Yes indeed it is campaign season, and yes, politics can get ugly, and that is just what some state Republican candidates did on Monday, when President Obama visited Milwaukee.
