Both the "good" kids that are being denied their educational opportunity by the lack of control in the classrooms and the CMS budget strangling and the kids that need discipline instilled in them when they did not get it at home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-14374681792092494562011-12-06T18:52:19.517-05:002011-12-06T18:52:19.517-05:00Larry,

They want yes people and compliance is the first thing they look for. Perhaps that is why real Men will try and find out too fast that what the system is really seeking.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977808657926308272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-24394641828884873212011-12-06T17:06:46.055-05:002011-12-06T17:06:46.055-05:00I'm hoping to make Thursday's session at N...I'm hoping to make Thursday's session at North Mecklenburg, but this week and next are really bad week's schedule-wise. Lots of holiday concerts and programs throughout CMS plus other holiday-themed events. <br /><br />Almost all of which were scheduled well before these superintendent search meetings. Not much CMS could probably do, but why not consider spreading the meetings out over 2 weeks.<br /><br />JeffJeff Wisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-57312249724959220012011-12-06T15:32:44.088-05:002011-12-06T15:32:44.088-05:0011:46, you're right; my mistake.

The community has disconnected itself from the process - for the sake of their kids' futures. Stop the tests NOW. The school board needs to get its act together NOW. Parents are intently focusing on their kids' best options NOW. Do not mess with the schools that are doing ok. Good luck on the rest of these meetings - sincerely delivered, I live in this county, and care about education. amen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-76764342345793140732011-12-06T13:27:26.890-05:002011-12-06T13:27:26.890-05:00Speaking for myself, the smartest thing I did as a...Speaking for myself, the smartest thing I did as a "man" is keep my family out of the reach of CMS.<br /><br />I don't have to worry nearly as much about the schools we attend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-46655209681389139902011-12-06T13:27:21.515-05:002011-12-06T13:27:21.515-05:00I really hope that those non-union professionals w...I really hope that those non-union professionals would explain to you that North Carolina is a right-to-work state and what that term actually means in reference to unions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-82001667043245452282011-12-06T13:21:36.641-05:002011-12-06T13:21:36.641-05:00Unions, while I am not against unions it is strang...Unions, while I am not against unions it is strange to see that people think the teachers in CMS are less "professional" because they don't belong to a system of labor. Yes unions help protect people from abuses by the employers but they also protect those unfit to work. Not to mention the rising costs unions incure. (look at the auto industry). I have no personal experience in a union only what I have read and researched, I just don't agree with saying that the men and women doing the job in the classroom are not worthy of the same title.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-8112233951716096802011-12-06T12:52:44.363-05:002011-12-06T12:52:44.363-05:00White flight, Black flight, brain drain and politi...White flight, Black flight, brain drain and political gerrymandering...<br /><br />That's all you need to know as to why no one shows up.<br /><br />It's amazing after 40 years, some people don't get it.Wiley Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966764080565903720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-57147734466800878992011-12-06T12:15:17.811-05:002011-12-06T12:15:17.811-05:00CMS is a hopeless mess; we've given up on gove...CMS is a hopeless mess; we've given up on government schooling and are happily paying non-union professionals to educate our children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-76703140697850726632011-12-06T11:46:43.607-05:002011-12-06T11:46:43.607-05:00Butler is most defintely in Matthews, not Mint Hil...Butler is most defintely in Matthews, not Mint HillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
