I may come off as a bit simplistic, but I think a different sort of person would be good at keeping schools well-run as opposed to city planning.<BR/><BR/>And I'm thinking that even the mayor would be bound by the silly rules the superintendent would be. Maybe I'm wrong in assuming that. :]Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-21696676089620188212009-04-01T06:58:00.000-05:002009-04-01T06:58:00.000-05:00Yes, Mrs. C, you wrote that!I agree with your post...Yes, Mrs. C, you wrote that!<BR/><BR/>I agree with your post, but I will say this: better the mayor than the President! The closer to the school, then theoretically of course, the school will get more practical and common sense leadership than some politican or his commitee thousands of miles away.<BR/><BR/>Like I said, I agree with your post, but the reality is that parents have virtually no power in the schools, despite the lip service school board members give us. <BR/><BR/>The state legislatures set the agenda, and the boards carry them out. When they don't, the legislatures have the ability to force them by controlling the purse strings. Public school is not run by the public. And certainly not by the parents. The term "government schools", which I am hearing used more and more, is a much more appropriate phrase.Elspeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/17495546895657214080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-16076605052388007912009-04-01T06:12:00.000-05:002009-04-01T06:12:00.000-05:00Yeah, that would be really gross if he enjoyed his...Yeah, that would be really gross if he enjoyed his "kickbacks."<BR/><BR/>Please tell me I didn't write that.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-30318488702558821402009-04-01T00:21:00.000-05:002009-04-01T00:21:00.000-05:00You would think the mayor would have found a way t...You would think the mayor would have found a way to keep the porn shop out.
