Being from NY but very interested in the quality of public education our children receive (or not), I favor many of the educational reforms which seem to be taking shape at varying speed in many of our 'states'. I would like to get a better feeling for the attitude of the 'taxpaying' public' here in Florida insofar as their satisfaction (or not) with the quality of education deliverables kids now receive.

Are our 'educators' doing a good job? Are our kids getting a good education? Could we do better and if so, How? Who? and Why? Is the current method of funding public education in this state fair and effective? If change should be considered; what would you recommend and why?
