What do you need to research, find, read to help you begin this exploration?
Selfe undertakes the important work of reminding us that public school education is inextricably linked with politics--for better or worse. Spend time researching your state, local, or federal representatives. See if you can point to a specific representative or senator and how this person spoke about public school funding. Once you have located a specific person, start thinking about your public school experience and the quality of the classrooms, hallways, computer labs. Establish a connection in your education between politics and the classroom.
