School boards .... yes, these people, just as other elected officials are, "elected" by people with absolutely NO qualifications to determine what should happen in a school. It's much like plumbers designing space craft. I once was asked, and attended one meeting, to be on the board of our local Crimestoppers. One experienced, highly qualified police detective attended the meeting. There were maybe ten or so board members in attendance.
We talked of recent crimes, some new, some old, went in to detail on some, discussed them in detail. Then, at the end of the meeting, WE were asked to decide which one was the most important, which one to offer the reward. Now, here sat a qualified, experienced member of law enforcement, years of experience, and the decision was up to the shoe salesman, the realtor, a grocer and some other businessmen. When asked for my vote .... I suggested we leave it up to the policeman, to decide which one should take precedent.
I am sure, that Jefferson County, where this problem is, searched for, and found, a highly qualified, experienced, well educated administrator, to run the school system. Then, they put together a board, elected by, unqualified voters to tell him how to do his job. I NEVER understood that.
BOARDS are resume fillers, good material for a political brochure, ego feeders. Odd how many people are on boards of organizations they know absolutely nothing about ... often .... a person will serve on many boards ..... here, just check my resume.
In the above instance, how do they change textbooks to satisfy ...... her. Hitler had a good solution, just burn all the books and start over .... with ...... edited new ones.
WHY don't they just teach ...... what happened. At my old high school, they had a philosophy ... to teach students how to study .... how to think for themselves, HOW to study, HOW to learn, furnish the basics
