I find your posts on the inner workings of school politics fascinating factually.

Oh, I see. No actual, authentic feedback regarding my commentary. Oh, well, seems as if I am talking to myself on this particular topic. Well, now, this topic gets a pass without any authentic debate. No other pro, con, or otherwise with the exception of my au contrair, mon ami as it relates to the topic.

Factually & Patriot, I often wonder if “conman” is saying all those that work in schools are “educrats” or if he is making a distinction between those that make decisions, like the one he is blaming the teachers for? If so then we are to assume he is criticizing the boss again, supt. Jenney, the most highly paid supt. in our districts history (he gets more than the gov), but is also the leader with the greatest debt load in our history (for feeding the district vendors), two consecutive record budget deficits, while pushing cuts to the academies so that he can build his $30 million dollar duplicate “global taj mahal” on the taxpayers backs (some call it Jenny’s “folly”). If this is the case and our non-friend is calling Mr. Jenney, who makes these decisions, an “educrat” then I would have to say he is right on that measure, but if he is using this as another attempt to attack classroom level instructors who do not take part in such decisions, then I would have to say we are hearing more of the same partisan rancor that he always spews in here in defense of the “special interest” crony-boyz.

Descubriendo la Lectura is the bilingual program. My post is on topic as usual and addresses “special intrest” groups and the educrats waste of our tax $s.

Why do we even need a bi;ingual program? Its just more waste like other “special interest” program that keeps our focus off educating the majority of the students.

If you’re truly interested in “fund raising” as one poster claimed “special intrest” programs to attract federal $s is a full time job for school administrators instead of educating students.

The very great majority of students arrive on a bus, Mr. Con. Whatever point you are dimly insinuating, does not address Mr. Factually in any way, nor does it address the article.

Whatever point that you are trying to make has no relevance to my commentary and does not answer the question that I posed.

One should hope that admin doesn’t allow the “special interests” groups such as bi-lingual to receive funding to the detriment of the majority of students.

One recent report showed waste in the school breakfast programs because students were too lazy to get up on time to eat. The educrat’s solution? Cater the breakfast to their student’s desk. Is this what we want to pay teacher’s to do, or are we going to hire teacher’s aides to do this?…more awesome educrat thinking.

Impressive success with “all the children” or just the ones who exhibited progress and were thus kept in the program?

Does this 15 year celebratory event of a “very expensive” program include the statistics of those children who were weeded from the program because they did not exhibit progress within a predetermined time frame and were referred on to “Special Education”?

Can someone answer my question, please?

In my opinion, any program which controls which students stay in the program and which students leave the program due to being referred on to another one is bound to show successful statistics without a doubt.

If Reading Recovery no longer operates in this fashion, please correct me.
