However, I think it would be hard for anyone to dispute the phenomenal strides our city has made in promoting the arts and other cultural venues over the past two decades. The amount of things to do and see in Charlotte of real educational value is really quite astounding especially when you consider the lack of things that were initially here. I'm still not sure where the NASCAR Hall of Fame fits in but I know Elon University ($37,000) offers a 3 credit course on the subject. This is why I think CMS should prioritize student access to all of Charlotte's cultural offerings (museums, libraries, performing arts, etc.) over the hiring of a California race expert with a questionable agenda. <br /><br />ART for Cultural Competency.<br /><br />AliciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-18487883724961171832013-03-07T14:48:28.361-05:002013-03-07T14:48:28.361-05:00Anon 6:46

More teachers could be effective and the effective teachers could be super if we could get the feds out of society. You do that by fully auditing the FRL applications so the feds cut you off, then you can work to get the finances back in balance and do locally provide FRL to those that truly qualify. But more importantly, you also relieve yourself of the financial burden of spending 2 dollars for every 1 dollar you get from the feds for compliance. This cuts back the ivory tower and Heath's slush fund that he keeps funding consultants, etc. to build his marketability for his next job.Missourinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-62246549811702299062013-03-06T14:47:11.322-05:002013-03-06T14:47:11.322-05:00Anon 12:11pm

Two things have to happen. One, ineffective teachers are either dismissed or rejuvenated. But two, more importantly, the deadweight students are dismissed and the learning environment is greatly improved for those students who desire an education.<br /><br />But one previous poster is correct. We must turn this school system over on its head. All other school personnel must understand their mission is to ensure the teacher is successful. As we all understand, the effective teacher is the answer. Gorman threw a wet blanket on that that CMS has not recovered from. Morrison has thrown most of the teachers under the bus again because of their skin color to pander to the NAACP.
