[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see ACPS Comms has the new Super doing the media rounds- they've got the "Local Hero Returns Home To Save Us All!" narrative going full-tilt. Will he have the courage to tackle the problem areas?[b] Will he look at the school administrators practicing scorched earth with faculty? Will he address the central office management who run their departments like Boss Hogg ran Hazard County?

I'm not optimistic, personally. I think it'll be SSDD and ACPS will continue to crater. [/quote]

I think the problem with the central and school admins is that they really are doing the best they can but honestly don't have that the best educational background themselves or any relevant professional experience outside ACPS to draw from.  The bloat seems to result from the fact that they need 2 or 3 people to do a job that one person who had good experience and education could do.  [/quote]

Nah, the issue isn't education. It's putting unqualified people in positions of power and not only not removing not them permanently once their incompetence shows but *rewarding* them via promotion. The Dukes of Hazard analogy above is perfect- these people know they're unqualified so they lash out at others to protect their own jobs, the people above them either don't care or turn a blind eye and the people who take the hit are the students and the good teachers.

I dislike the concept of private schools but ACPS is a strong argument in their favor.[/quote]
