in the case of these boards a lot of the mistakes pointed out are the posters opinion. which doesn't necessarily discredit the district. I would even go as far to say that the constant and repetitive posting of negative opinions about the school board over the same issues tends to discredit the poster and not the district.... Thank you for the agreement. "The discrediting is done by those that make the errors." LOL

Very well said Steckdad....However, that point is lost/unheeded by several posters on the boards/blogs/etc....... yeah , I know " shut up and sit down" "take another one for the team" thankfully not everyone in history decided to just ' let it be' when something was wrong. and I know that we speak for more than just ourselves- I talk to these others every day in my area - ya know DOC, I think for me it is more like I am new to the district and the board, and excited about the opportunities for my daughter here in 204. and there is a guy on the street corner wearing a sandwich board saying "the end is near" I know this is not true, just some perspective. your reply on the other board did help clear some things up too...

Good analysis, steckdad. And it had me LOL, too! Welcome to the district. I hope you do find good opportunities for your daughter here.

You may not want to listen at present, and I understand that, but things change very quickly here- and one day the power in tthe district may not live in your area - and something will be decided and you'll be shaking your head going " how did this happen" ? The teachers and students in 204 are wonderful- your daughter will do fine - and you live in a 'right' place - so it's even better.

Your use of the term "power" seems a bit of an exaggeration to me - you make it sound like there's a battle of some sort going on here - and there isn't, nor should there ever be. And, I have no idea how you can predict what type of decisions will be made, or that people will be shaking their head.
