Goals? Objectives? Metrics?
Confusing...it is... does Yoda say!
May the force be with us all. May the great spirit of "mother-wit" begin to consume more of us and may the winds of change blow good fortune our way. And courqage into our hearts.
Meanwhile...I say we, that would, should fight...for what's right!
I say we fight internal conflict that too often stagnate our humanity's growth and development. The internal struggles can often turn a good neighbor into a stubborn, egotistical, ambitious, self-centered politician..and that's on a GOOD day!
We owe it, ultimately, to the children who we continue to claim to be our future, to rest our ruggedly individual pursuits and either take up the "good fight" in their names or lay down our arms in disgrace and futility.
What good will it do for the few privledged to gain this "kingdom" of Plainfield and lose one's soul in the process?
When those "Edu-crats" who espouse freedom and progress for our students of the school system commense to beating up on the very Instructional care-givers entrusted to teach them day in and day out, where is the TRUE "NOISE???"
We hold ourselves to high standards, collectively, and where we fall short, often seek guidance. But abuse and guidance are true mutually exclusive concepts, ARE they NOT?
Ask the "average" teacher, ask the custodian, ask the disgruntled parent where he or she can find solace and most assuredly, they will think of the office of superintendent, dead last! Oh...but charter schools and private schools are a "no-no" in the minds of the powers that be. Why?
And is it possible that some of these very same enemies of charter and private schools proponents hypocritically send their OWN children to the very same schools they speak against??? Even some teachers followed their union's immediate past president's apparent charge to condemn charter school growth and patronage while having their OWN attend school outside the district.
This should not be. The question and answer guidelines set up by the CSA can quite certainly be likened to a house of cards, with long-time and life-long Plainfielder, feeling they have gotten the proverbial "raw deal." But Plainfielders have also historically enjoyed starring in the finales as the "underdog." After all, Luke and the gang (oops...did I say "GANG???") overcame the tyranny of the evil empire, sometimes by fighting fire with fire.
to be continued...
