What did you learn in school today?

I need to thank the administration and the school board members of my small rural school district for being so resolutely resistant to change.

Thank you.


Thank you for letting me become a stronger and more confident woman.

Thank you.

Thank you for letting me learn that small minds when banded together have unwieldy powers.


Thank you.


Thank you for letting me find an inner strength that allows me to get out of my car each morning and carry a picket sign up and down the sidewalk, and truly enjoy that time each morning.


Thank you.


Thank you for letting me realize that common sense and common courtesy are not as important to some

 as they are to me.

Thank you.


Thank you to the school board chair person for trying to barter one of 3 changes I requested for "letting IT go."   Nope no deal.  No thank you.


Thank you.


Thank you for allowing me to learn that I have no need to be liked by you.

  That is a wonderful gift indeed.
Picture
The superintendent  called my sign disingenuous  tonight and I told him it was not disingenuous, it was correct.
Geez.
Then the old, "Well the recruiters did not actually show up 18 times...."  

 Followed by my -"Well, if they did, they would have been welcomed."  
 That went right over the 
their heads.   
Geez.
Just make a standard policy.  
One size DOES fit all.

There is ONE thinking person on the school board. 
  And to THAT person, I say
"Thank you."


That's what I learned in school today.

You would think that when the public elects you to represent them, that's what you should do.... I'm finding out this is not the case... If the public does not like the job your doing for them, they can recall you... If the institution thinks you represent the public too much they take means to get you officially removed... What's the point of being a publicly elected official if you're not going to consider the publics concerns? Simple changes that would not really affect anything but the unequally balanced beliefs of the institution who refuse to consider change through the "we don't see a problem" fog cloud around their heads.....
What a shame!.............
