[quote=Anonymous]The FLAP grant that 14:32 is talking about it is likely going away. The hundred dollars pays for normal supplies, but also the CDs for the Chinese curriculum.  Unlike Spanish language materials, the school has to purchase or create two totally separate sets of materials.  Nearly all curriculum suppliers have English AND Spanish for most if not all of their materials.
On the other hand, if you don't pay your supply fee you must pay a $25 non-refundable "rental fee" for the CDs which only cost that much to purchase new from the distributor in the first place.  With practices like this and others that have been discussed recently I'm sure the school must have a very healthy looking bottom line that probably benefits the school as a whole. But it really adds credence to the widely-held ideas that the school's attitudes skew entirely towards the betterment of the collective with very little regard to individuals.  It really is time for the founders to hire some competent people to replace themselves, have more than one administrator and move into the next phase of the organization.  They need to quit hiring yes-people and those who quietly go along with bad policy and then end up quitting instead of raising anyone's ire. There is no way any organization can keep alienating and burning people (employees and end-users) indefinitely and still remain viable. [/quote]
