POB Education is Broken and Needs to Be Fixed

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Education; It's Simply Not Good":

No one -not even Stephanie Nelkens - is going to micro-manage the teachers here. You give her far too much credit if you think she can do that.

Dempsey and the principals and department chairpeople need to manage what's going on but they are afraid to. The nonsense that went on last fall during the negotiations shows that the teachers can pretty much get away with anything they want.

Maybe you consider getting rid of a bad math program like Investigations micro-managing teachers. This blog is full of posts from parents complaining about homework that they have to teach at home, teachers texting during class time and inconsistencies among and even within the schools. Why the right things aren't just happening here with all the administrators we have here is the bigger question. Parents should not have to get so involved. It's broken and it needs to be fixed.

  1. Stephanie Nelkins maybe one of the solutions along with Emily Shulman because the BOE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED to get over the largest obstacle for fixing this school district which is Morty Rosenfeld and the PCT. Ne excuse could ever be valid for this dysfunctional and reckless BOE and the way they just give the PCT what ever they want. Vote no on the budget and vote the incumbent BOE members OUT and not let the BOE hide anymore of our money. If they wanted money for capital construction, they should of thought of that when they caved in to the PCT

  2. BOE must be voted OUT. They have ignored the will of the residents and our children
