Dems Quiz Idahoans On Education

On its web page, the Idaho Democratic Party is asking voters seven quick questions about education. Among other things, they’re asking about teacher salaries and class sizes. They’re also asking about pre-kindergarten, a concept popular with many education and business leaders, but one that has found little traction at the Statehouse. Kevin Richert/The EDge provides a link to the list of questions (and a link to our coverage of one of the Democrats’ statewide education events over the weekend) here.

Question: Huckleberries has wondered for some time why Idaho Democrats can’t find traction on education issues, given the way the Republican-dominated Legislature and executive branch have underfunded K-12 and post-secondary education. Anyone?
