Craddock said that Brooks would give the school board “a new perspective.” Yet just as it is unclear whether his lobbying tactics were within the law, it is also unclear whether council members realized that Brooks home-schools her children.
Many parents have opted to home-school their children with great success. Home-schooling is both a legal and a reasonable choice.
Still, Brooks’ decision to home-school her children calls into question her commitment to public education, particularly her commitment to budget and curriculum issues.
And if council members voted for Brooks knowing that she is a home-schooler, then their commitment to public education is doubtful.
