[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't quite understand the mindset of denigrating people to defend Blair.  I don't get the idea of claiming SS does not have professionals from the minority community.

Blair's problems can't be blamed on the demographics alone.  I find the principal's accomplishments troubling-- "Johnson has made many improvements to the school. She has installed a TV in Blair's cafeteria , created a less strict cell phone policy and started a Principal's Advisory Council composed of Blair students. In the future, Johnson hopes to make the lunch room more "teenage-friendly" including installing a microwave in the cafeteria.”  Is she trying to curry favor with the student body or promote academics.  Looking at her twitter feed a previous poster mentioned made me realize (a) she tweets a lot.  I mean a lot, and (b) she seems to include a lot of pictures of herself.

How about a principal who shows interest in students and promotes academics?  TV in the Blair cafeteria?  Seriously?  Is that the priority at Blair?  [/quote]

Ummm ... that quote is from the school newspaper.  You know, the one written by students??  The ones for whom a TV in the cafeteria might actually be a priority.  To take a quote from the school newspaper, label that as the principal's accomplishments, and then conclude that the principal is trying to curry favor with students as opposed to promoting academics is a bit of a leap, no?[/quote]

Seriously?  So, your argument is that the reason the kids listed what they did as Johnson's accomplishments is because it is the priority of the kids??!  So, you are now denigrating an award winning newspaper?
