Ask Not......

I am adopting the topic of one of the posters here and taking some license with the J.F.K. Inaugural speech____________________________ 'Ask not what your school system can do for you. Ask what you can do for your school system.' No, it is not corny. Yes, I am taking the opportunity to be a cheerleader. It is time to stop the negativity. How? Parents, take control of homework and reading with your children. Teachers, be positive about the new initiatives. Board of Ed, take back control of the angry, bitter members. Everyone, work together and watch good things happen. It will take time, but it can happen. Will you try? Norwalk hit bottom. That is what people are saying everywhere about the Marks' superintendency. Will you lend a hand to help a good system get back up on its feet? If not, my guess is we will sink below bottom......

    If you're a high school parent, it's easy to feel excluded. So think about going to a football game together (even if the kids won't sit with you). You'll support your kid's school and get to see your son or daughter interact with peers. It sounds small, but it will help connect you to your kids' school.

    As a teacher I will stand up and demand that WE ALL WORK TOGETHER. The Jack and Sue must drop thier anger toward the Union. They have misguided the coummnity in an attempt to drive thier own plans forward.
    As a teacher I will continue to support my union leadership as it works to help students, teachers and the coummnity at large.
