Rebroadcast of Voices in Kentucky Education

WKMS rebroadcasts The Earlier You Can Catch 'Em, The Faster You Can Fix 'Em on Tuesday, October 3 at 7PM.

This program is a one-hour report that offers a sense of the tremendous energy involved in education reform as Kentucky pushes forward to meet its important goals. The feature also offers a snapshot of how education experts see the Commonwealth’s progress in reform efforts, what issues still need consideration, how the last General Assembly’s actions are changing this school year, and what efforts are underway to refocus Kentucky high schools.

A July meeting report of the Council on Post Secondary Education (CPE) prompted WKMS Station Manager Kate Lochte to learn more about Kentucky education reform from Murray State University professor Dr. Mark Wattier, chair of the CPE’s P-16 Council. Wattier spoke of an integrated database system, a single rigorous curriculum, and bridging bureaucratic silos. Lochte then sought further understanding in conversations with other educators, education advocates, officials, and legislators.

The Earlier You Can Catch ‘Em, The Faster You Can Fix ‘Em—Voices in Kentucky Education, airs on WKMS Tuesday October 3 at 7PM. You can also listen online at wkms.org.

Mending Wall
Robert Frost
SOMETHING there is that doesn’t love a wall,  
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,  
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;  
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.  
The work of hunters is another thing:  
I have come after them and made repair  
Where they have left not one stone on a stone,  
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,  
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,  
No one has seen them made or heard them made,  
But at spring mending-time we find them there.  
I let my neighbour know beyond the hill;  
And on a day we meet to walk the line  
And set the wall between us once again.  
We keep the wall between us as we go.  
To each the boulders that have fallen to each.  
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls  
We have to use a spell to make them balance:  
“Stay where you are until our backs are turned!”  
We wear our fingers rough with handling them.  
Oh, just another kind of out-door game,  
One on a side. It comes to little more:  
There where it is we do not need the wall:  
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.  
My apple trees will never get across  
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.  

He only says, “Good fences make good        neighbours.”

  
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder  
If I could put a notion in his head:  
“Why do they make good neighbours? Isn’t it  
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.  
Before I built a wall I’d ask to know  
What I was walling in or walling out,  
And to whom I was like to give offence.  
Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,  
That wants it down.” I could say “Elves” to him,  
But it’s not elves exactly, and I’d rather  
He said it for himself. I see him there  
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top  
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.  
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,  
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.  
He will not go behind his father’s saying,  
And he likes having thought of it so well  
He says again, “Good fences make good          neighbours.”
