Robert (Bob)

O'BRYAN

    I've been involved in the Kent Schools since coming here to teach in 1964.  I've been a PTA member, parent, grandparent and school board member.  I presently volunteer a day a week in my grandson's school and serve on its Learning Improvement Team. 

    I'm a supporter and a critic of the public schools. 

    I'm fully retired and have time to do the job.  I will be a working board member -- not one who just comes twice a month to rubber stamp the actions of the bureaucracy. 

    I have two primary concerns about today's schools.  First is social promotion.  No teacher should be expected to teach in the higher grades a child who hasn't learned the required skills in the lower.

Second is order in the classroom.  A few disruptive kids must not be allowed to poison the learning environment for all the rest.
