I was nose-ing around other blogs, and found that April Griffin has a blog and she want's some input about the school system.
Normally I stick to topics that prick my blood, but she brings up a good outlet. So I went over and posted a comment. I am not sure it will appear, after I wrote a heartfelt response, I found that it had some other sign on process.
Regardless, if you are a resident of Hillsborough County and you give a rats behind about our future leaders (current students) or the education system, give her a shout. I would ask that you be mindful of your manners, and not slam. To get results, you need to be productive.
With that said, and my tongue in cheek post about my own school experience, let me say this. I was not traumatized by my experience. It actually molded me to who I am today. A realistic woman that knows there are many walks of life out there, and you must overcome and learn to protect yourself.
Finally, for the Hillsborough County School Board... someone needs a clue. School systems aren't changing; people are changing. Go back to the basic 3 R's and let's set the parents straight. Not the other way around. Society as a whole SUCKS. I have a sibling with children and she would tell me how it was the teachers responsibility to do this or that. BOILED my blood. She would call the teachers and say she can't get perfect child number 2 to attend school, they need to help her... Well perfect child number 2 didn't finish high school with the rest of his class, I believe he went to some reform school of sorts... What does that tell you about the PARENTING skills??????? And why is it the teachers responsibility??? Stop allowing parents the opportunity to neglect their duties.
