John Leo said it best, "you cannot give self esteem,it has to be earned with hard work and committment". OBE takes away the hard work and committment. Standards are lowered,abilities are diluted. In this School District,in 1992 the requirements for induction into the National Honor Society were lowered. The SAT scores have gone down two years in a row since then,which has not happened in 20 years. Peter Morcomb and Alan Belch talked about these at the last School Board meeting. I'm giving you a copy of their presentations. Our arrogant administrators are Putting Themselves First in this issue of a new school without consideration for community,for spending,for raising taxes,for utilization of what we already have,for future repairs on existing schools,or anyone else's opinions but their own. They are totally intolerant of many parents in the community,and well documented research,if in disagreement with them. For example, several law suits because of their lies,as in the case of Mr.Morcomb, law suits because of their lack of ethics and protocol, as in the case of Mr.Kryder, (now we have a third appeal;the judge also disagreed with them). Because of the school board's intolerance for conservative,American thinking groups like the Boy Scouts, we have yet another law suit,and the Service Learning Coordinator just quit her job. Another policy that was the laughing stock of the whole community,forced on parents against our wishes,was the Condom Distribution,tidily disguised as Aids implementation. Three thousand condoms were obtained,6 or 7 were distributed,and 2000 suffered heat stroke in the trunk of the nurses car. We entrust these people with our tax dollars,and they have shown us to be wasteful,intolerant,and futile with these entrusted funds. They say progressive,I say they are digging a hole,where we will not have the money for needed repairs and then you the commissioners will have to bail them out by raising our taxes. If this school is so badly needed,why doesn't the school board renovate Lincoln Center to take the burden off the elementary school this year,and then sell their elitist plans to the voters next year,the way they are supposed to. You our elected officials,hold the keys to their spending. If you do not make them accountable,then I promise you the taxpayers will hold you accountable when the money is nowhere to be found, and you have to raise our taxes again without proper representation.
