Sounds like a missed opportunity to boot the administration. My son says
his
teachers don't take no mess from the kids (to paraphrase a James Brown
song). And, this is in a public school. Nothing fancy. Last year, one of
his
friends got straight A grades math & science, and flunked English &
social
studies, which meant summer school. The parents complained that this
would
ruin their vacation plans. According to the kid, the principal's
response
was "How many report cards did you not read since last year? Change your
vacation plans."


What you are saying is, "Don't re-elect anybody." I concur, but the
chances are nil......

You lost me with that one. Huh?


Your suggestion implies cleaning house from the highest to lowest
levels of administration..... good idea.... just not do-able....


Why not? Get enough parents to attend board of ed meetings, and present
actual cases where the administration is doing the wrong thing. If none of
the parents are bothered by this, then you know you've got a room full of
habitual supporters. Time for direct mail. "Do you want your kids cuddled,
or prepared for the real world?....."

Next town over, the admin booted 2 principals in 2 years because they
wouldn't back the teachers when it came to maintaining discipline.

Where do you live? Pussy Junction?
