If only the board and the admin listened to the students, maybe they would see what a mess they are making, and what a disservice they are doing to them. There are so many ridiculous responses to things that I don’t even know where to start. School is being reduced to numbers- testing, scoring, standardizing, evaluating- when it should be about the learning and the growth of individuals with the capacity to connect, communicate, collaborate and question. It blows my mind that this is what it has come to. Where are the educators on these committees?

They don’t mean mending fences, folks. They mean the completely ridiculous and prison-like fences that were put up around part of the school grounds as a knee jerk to Sandy Hook. And the really stupid thing is the whole back of the campus is open anyway. I have spoken to some people who are on the ground for the SD and they hate the fences. One guy that was working outside WV the other day said he was at the school for a fire drill and the kids could barely move through the gate entry masse.Tha is safe. Even though this blog has little to do with fences, except as symbolism for trapping the children’s minds in boring thought, that is the fence story.
