The kids and the teachers' needs seem to be the farthest thing from these people's minds. The schools are suffering, but they don't want to do anything about it.

They even defend a mathematics curriculum that doesn't teach the traditional methods of large number multiplication or long division and my 5th grader is bringing home spelling words that I learned in 2nd grade. (They'd rather use a calculator!) In addition to that, they spent multi-millions on a new central office for the Board of education with marble inlay floors so that they (Board of Education - Administrators and clones) can be rest all comfy and cozy while many of the classrooms at the middle school lacked heat in the worst part of the winter. We have a bunch of baffoons running RCSD. Check out the fact that many of the schools fell in MCT II standings for 2009-2010, and combine that with lack of adequate supplies and relentless nonsensical spending on ipads, and see if it adds up to a select a brighter future. Given the fact that our economy is in the state it is in, wouldn't they rather subsidize a teacher salary and reduce the burdens on teachers who are taught that quantity equals quality. WRONG wake up and speak up Rankin County citizens, this is our future!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726120322588904573.post-25413726960990316182010-09-30T11:48:21.140-05:002010-09-30T11:48:21.140-05:00@ Falen - you're right.

Like that movie "Surrogates". LOL!<br /><br />@ MissLAKnight - I agree that the iPad could be useful, but the way they went about obtaining it was foul to me. And to top it off, school board members need them, too? If it were just the principal, I still would be skeptical about it, but at least it would make sense from a productive standpoint.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371841750506260427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726120322588904573.post-43225483028544813852010-09-27T19:08:25.858-05:002010-09-27T19:08:25.858-05:00I can see how having an Ipad would be beneficial t...I can see how having an Ipad would be beneficial to a principal. What I do not agree with are the means to purchase that Ipad especially with the state of our economy. You talk about carrying books while some students parents can't afford book bags to put them in. What is really going on here?LaToya Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067624444264226843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726120322588904573.post-22770537400646531212010-09-27T11:39:28.664-05:002010-09-27T11:39:28.664-05:00wtf!

Too many of my friends going to the extreem and treating their kids in a way to compensate for what their parents didnt give to them...the shit is getting out of hand. I know its good to get the best for your kids, but damn! Treating them as if they are still in diapers is retarded!<br /><br />Make them carry a fucking book! Shit they gotta do something! That school district is just bullshitting around really!THUNDERCAThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174441106486023428noreply@blogger.com
