The third annual Toledo ’Tinis for Preemies fund-raiser at Carranor Hunt and Polo Club in Perrysburg was very Zen with its Asian-fusion setting with tall glasses of bamboo, greenery, black stones and large floating candles by a Hafner Florist, lit lanterns, and artfully displayed Asian foods.

The Ohio Department of Education has not done a good job of listening. When putting together the state’s proposal to meet the requirements of the federal Every Student Succeeds Act, it has been virtually deaf. But it needs to listen now and delay submitting its final plan so that lawmakers and the public can have additional input.
