All political contenders now understand that unemployment is the critical issue for Ohioans today and that it will continue to dominate the news running up to the elections this fall.  How they react to it varies greatly.

Rob Portman expounds on his belief that that the key to jobs for all Ohioans is the entrepreneur and the small businesses they create.  He extols the virtue of small businesses and insists we must support the owners so they have the ability and freedom to generate more jobs.  I could not agree with him more.

My years of teaching in the public school system have led me to the generality that the top 15% of the students in each district are receiving an education above and beyond reproach which culminates with a host of Advance Placement classes representing college quality work in the high school setting.  Most of these students fall into the category I mentioned in the previous post of having “the inborn appreciation and motivation to achieve success at the highest of academic levels.”
