Schools are supposed to open their doors in less than two weeks and we have on our doorsteps and in the press an unacceptable series of rhetoric and comment...
I would be inclined to let the 2 parties at this point settle it without dragging in third party. The BOE and Superintendent have always had this love/hate...

PTA/PTO's seem intent in the belief that not having a meeting with lots of people attending means parents are not involved. That is simply not true. People...
Janet- In what context is your statement made? Perhaps then I will understand why you made what I believe to be an exaggerated and somewhat incorrect ...
Eric, feel free to state your own opinion and comments but I don't believe I requested any personal attacks to my views. Also the CAC (in case you did not...
Jan- My apologies if you felt that you were being personally attacked - you weren't. However, I did take issue with your point and felt it was important to...
Eric -- I agree that we can't sit back in apathy thinking that others are going to take care of things for us. This country was built by our forefathers who...
My failure to include details may have seem I was being anti-meeting but I am not. TRUE, I have had bad experiences with some pretty petty school meetings...
Jan- It's unfortunate that you had some bad experiences - mine has been mixed thus far. Sounds like your children are very fortunate that you care as much as...

So many crossed wires. So many missed opportunities. It would be nice to point the blame at some particular body or person, but, in this case, there is plenty...
I don't often reply to these but I'm really upset, and a little frightened. I am a parent with a career of fighting hard for my children. In our particular...
I can understand why you would feel personally betrayed, however, let's try to be in his shoes for a moment. He was dealing with a teacher's union, who made it...
I don't blame him, Peg. I just -- in a child-like way, I guess -- wish it could be different... This whole thing makes me feel very child-like. Helpless....
