In a nutshell, Superintendent Luna is helping shape the future of public education nationwide and the way it will be graded.Those are pretty lofty responsibilities for a man who is more politician than educator. And if Idaho is a model for what the country can expect, there could be trouble ahead. Luna's only experiences with public education before becoming the state's public education leader were personal experiences as a student through high school, a couple of short stints at the old Ricks College (now BYU-Idaho in Rexburg) and Boise State, and time as a school board member in Nampa. Because he did not have at least a college undergraduate degree, he was at first denied his goal of becoming the state's education top dog/Idaho State Journal Editorial Board. More here.

Question: Are you as nervous as I am that Tom Luna is accruing national power and position for his untested, radical education agenda?
