although it's hard when people disappoint you, do your best to rise above - being disgusted is unhealthy and unproductive-
i'm a parent and this is affecting my kids also - i'm not thrilled about what's going on either teacher wise - but i think a lot is going on from parents also
what you can do -
attend the next board of ed meeting and every meeting until the right thing is happening in the classrooms - whether or not the contract is settled
support the board of ed in waiting out the negotiation process
when no one shows up at the board of ed it's assumed everyone lost interest and the issue has blown over
don't let that happen
talk to friends and neighbors about what's going on
invite them to join you at the next board of ed meeting
speak out during public participation at the next board of ed meeting
post on this blog
tell your friends about this blog
just don't assume someone else will take care of letting adminstration or the board of ed know your thoughts
some people said that what's going on is "dividing our community"
i think it's the opposite
parents are coming together with a common goal - to make sure our kids the best education we can
this issue is affecting all of our kids across the district
we all have friends who have kids in every school and in every classroom
different faces are coming to board of ed meetings, getting involved, speaking out
and we're all supporting each other
our kids are lucky to have -
parents who are upset because they were made to feel unwelcome as a volunteer at their child's classroom
parents who want to take pictures for yearbooks
parents of elementary kids who are concerned for parents of high school kids who need college recommendations
parents of high school kids who are concerned about the feelings of parents of k center kids who are caught up in this
parents who took offense to contract now buttons being worn in class photos
parents who are concerned that their kids are in the middle of an adult conversation and it's spoiling their school experience when classrooms and hallways go undecorated
i think there is something going on, it's real and it's something to be proud of

Alabama for Example - Teachers from the Philippines and Asia to teach Math and Science - Plainview wake up ? At first there were protest and agitation in the communities in Alamba- when the parents realised that actually these Asian teachers were making a difference and the their children math and science grades were on the rise - the protest died down and now they are thankful to their school boards - Now Georgia and other states are considering to hire teachers from the Philippines, Taiwan, India and China for about 1/3 the cost, thuss decreasing school by thousands of Dollars for each household each year - Toyota Prius anyone !
