Sherri Ybarra, GOP candidate for Idaho state schools superintendent, proudly lists among her educational accomplishments “Educator of the Year 2005” and “Educator of the Year 2006.” But she's never been Idaho's Teacher of the Year, an honor that's been bestowed annually since 1959. Nor has she been the Mountain Home School District's nominee for that state competition. Instead, in 2005 and 2006, Ybarra was among 10 Mountain Home teachers nominated to compete to be the district's representative in the state Teacher of the Year competition/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.

Question: Yeah, I know ... it's the media's fault. Thoughts?
