[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This comment is akin to "America:  Love it or Leave it" and is inconsistent with the nature of our PUBLIC, publicly-funded school system.  I am a taxpayer and the school board is accountable to ME.  I don't have to shut up or put up. This is a democracy.  In theory at least, if I don't like the way things are going in MY school system, I have the RIGHT and the OBLIGATION to speak up and request change.

Don't tell me to leave the system that I pay for.  I am entitled to demand change if I think my kids and their classmates are being shafted (and I do).[/quote]

Don't you think that maybe the old system that served your kids and their classmates well was not serving low-income or otherwise less exceptional kids well at all?[/quote]

I live in the red zone and my kids attend a school with a high FARMS rate.  My school's test scores were improving each year under the old system and yes, I think it was serving exceptional and less-exceptional kids equally well.  Both groups are entitled to a good education.

So no, I will not move.  I will insist that the system I fund and support be as good as it can be.  I will continue to object to mediocrity for as long as I have kids in this system.[/quote]
