In the local races for district supervisor here in SF, things are starting to pick up; the candidates are starting to truly extend themselves to the people. In doing so, some pretty interesting issues have been coming up, like the perennial dilemma of the SFUSD.

As District 8 candidate Scott Weiner chats with a Glen Park resident about his daughters' education, it's hard not to think about the handfuls of identical stories reflected in this parents' (and from the way I sometimes hear it, a seeming majority of parents') encounters with SF Unified.
Shows the lack of our school system's integration with the local communities, if you ask me; a void I'm beginning to believe to be more and more at the heart of the District's problem.
