Amendment 3 would harm our community
Editor, the Tribune: The November election is an important election due to the adverse effect Amendment 3 could have on our community if passed. Every day in classrooms in Columbia, rich and diverse learning occurs. Whether it be through the creation of art projects, lively classroom discussions, or crafting a product on a 3-D printer, learning is taking place that is not easily measured through testing. Skills that students learn through diverse classroom activities teach them how to think, plan, problem-solve and to navigate life’s ups and downs. Our classrooms are preparing students for their future. Should we dismiss those valuable experiences in favor of students scoring well on a standardized test? Please join me in voting “no” on Amendment 3.
