The admin is not doing as badly as previous have. The state is creating "competition" in a field that shouldn't have any. There should be great schools for all, not those who choose this school or that school. School inequity pits neighborhoods and cities against each other while companies like Wal-Mart rob everyone blind while their attention is distracted.derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200256256166635283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727344.post-1116973075064867632005-05-24T17:17:00.000-05:002005-05-24T17:17:00.000-05:00Well as an outside observer, the situation with th...Well as an outside observer, the situation with the District looks like a conspiracy against the children. It doesn't have not so much to do with the state, but with the mismanagement of funding internally within Central Adminerstation. Until there's more accountability, there will be no change in conditions for falcuty or students unfortunately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727344.post-1116518941661090832005-05-19T11:09:00.000-05:002005-05-19T11:09:00.000-05:00This is sad.It's downright criminal (we know it's ...This is sad.<BR/><BR/>It's downright criminal (we know it's unconstitutional but hell of a lot of good that has done) how our schools are funded. Detractors of public education say "money doesn't matter". Sadly, it does. Money pays teachers that could care a lot more if they only had 15 kids per class instead of almost double that. Fewer kids, more time with teacher. CMSD's elementary pupils can figure that out! Why can't the nimrods in Columbus (that are too busy raking in lobbyist cash to take care of real matters instead of bullshit like Senate Bill 9) get it?<BR/><BR/>I wish more teacher like you spoke out...it inspires me to keep wanting to become one.<BR/><BR/>-Derekderekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200256256166635283noreply@blogger.com
