Dear LiB:
So what happened last night totally sucks. But it can’t be undone. And we can write angry letters until we have have carpal tunnel from all the ding dang typing but we also need to improve test scores and make our district better right now. How about we channel all this energy directly into our kids. Show them we have lost a battle but we can still win the war, we were handed lemons but, gosh darn it, we are going to make some wicked lemonade, and all those other cliches. Let’s get involved in the school, people!!! Involved parents are just as important as small classes and amazing teachers (see links to articles).
Thank you , i couldnt have said it better.
Cheryl, I agree with everything you say except your second sentence. Of course it can be undone, there a lot of things that CAN happen, whether it will or not is a completely different story. You are right though, people should get involved and make a difference.
