Before: The way it has been for decades amounts to:
parents only care about sports in the school system. Nope not
good grades, not hard working, caring teachers, nor when school
administrators fib to em to their face. Nothing matters as long
as the ball games are played and we win a few contests.
For instance, administrators see the dismal test scores,
some of the worst in the state and nation, and then spend
a great deal of effort to cover up pee poor performance and prep
for a life after the 12the grade. Instead of leveling with
parents and telling em that their brats don't have a chance one
in college, trade school, or work in general. Without
basic math and reading skills, nothing can come their way after
getting out of public school.
No matter how pitifully prepared they are,
administrators put out a good glow each year coming up with
awards like not picking noses in public or giving gold trophies
to the rug rats for eating their meals
With that as their mantra, Everyone was happy for decades
believing absolute lies. Stuff like: your snot licker is getting
the best edumacation in the best school system in the world
comes to mind. Parents believed the BS and went back home
smiling from ear to ear. Everybody was happy.
Now:
Instead of maintaining status quo
that had been going on for years, 19 months ago a turd entered
the field. The turd is School Superintendent Phil
Dobbins.That troublesome guy acquired the support of an all new
school board.
Instead of sucking up (lying) to parents, IE
status quo, he started the ball rolling with change.
Instead of letting dead beat teachers stay on the
roster, get this, Dobbins would toss them out in the cold for
little things like drinking on the job, inappropriate wordage /
themes on social media, and bus drivers out of control actions
while behind the wheel. How dare that guy!
Finding out teachers were at work around 50% of the time,
he and the Board pulled out the big clubs and stopped such BS.
Everybody was happy with teachers and students wasting
hours daily hammering out key strokes on personal electronic
devices. Get this! Under Dobbins directives, all cell phone use
was stopped during class time including teachers. How dare that
wittle turd! Instead of wasting school time, Dobbins wants
teachers to actually teach!
With a dwindling student population, he cut back on Board
Office personnel, took a month's pay from administrators' wallet
and even closed two grade schools where there weren't enough
kids to even play tiddly winks.. What a jerk!
And then it came.
That poop head marched forward to close down Clay Middle
School where there are few pupils, zero discipline, and teaching
was near existent. Where does that guy get off???? When Middle
School supporters taunted great improvements during a recent
public meeting, the Sch Bd challenged the assertions with data
that showed CMS was a complete waste land.
Back nine months ago, right after trial testing was made
public, Dobbins had the balls to tell the world that Clay High
test scores were so embarrassingly poor, his top priority was to
improve test scores even if it meant changing teachers. Gulp!
Where does that guy get off?
We're just 10 months into Phil Dobbins first full year as
Superintendent. Some change have been made and there's much more
coming.
And among all the changes, sports are still going on. It's
a miracle! Dobbins really does walk on water.

that counts, but how well and how often you decide right
