While the mold posts got a little out of hand, the discussion of curriculum is not name calling at all. It is interesting and important. <br /><br />I invite you Ms. Orlder to explain precisely why you are disgusted, beyond whatever images you discern in the cow that have so disturbed you. What is ignorant? Why is citing to actual documents offensive. Why are you afraid of debate and the free exchange of information?<br /><br />Jens GlagerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961215159419443702.post-75935762616154213662014-02-24T13:27:13.828-06:002014-02-24T13:27:13.828-06:00With so many serious issues facing our district, s...With so many serious issues facing our district, someone chooses to be offended by a graphic?

Not everyone has remained anonymous, and they've been attacked. Also, since you say you don't read the blog, then you haven't read the posts we have spent considerable time writing that address our concerns -- concerns that when brought forward by letter, public comment or in person meetings with most sitting board members and current administrators, have been ignored and discounted. We highly respect your intelligence and the insight and observations you've made publicly in the past regarding D181 issues. We would welcome your perspective on many of the concerns we, the bloggers, and parents (many who have publicly spoken out at board meetings) have raised.

I am disgusted and embarrassed to be part of a community that would post this graphic along with the anonymous blog. The authors have demonstrated an amazing lack of intelligence and an abundance of ignorance. I fail to see how the graphic and the anonymous comments "support the education of D181 students''. You state that you seek to avoid name calling, yet you post anonymous comments that are hateful and beyond insulting. You should be ashamed. <br />Patricia OrlerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698504396721791586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961215159419443702.post-82460177156621574382014-02-24T11:32:03.355-06:002014-02-24T11:32:03.355-06:00Public comment after "guest presentations&quo...Public comment after "guest presentations" is the way they've been doing things for a while.

Schneider has his own agenda for social justice and brings in two consultants who seem to write a lot on gay/lesbian issues. I certainly don't have issues with someone's sexual orientation, but I would not expect to see it as a driving force in my child's educational programs. Is Schneider really trying to help our children or help his own personal cause? The only social injustice I can see here is one that has been thrown upon us for obviously personal reasons, not educational reasons that are in the best interest of our children. Are we hiring the best, most qualified individuals or those who fit the criteria most supported by Schneider?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961215159419443702.post-78930372868904609372014-02-24T09:24:32.170-06:002014-02-24T09:24:32.170-06:00Many things are happening on the sly because this ...Many things are happening on the sly because this new system is not working for the majority of students. Over the past weeks some changes have occurred that I find very coincidental -1) 8th grader in ELA/Accelerated math (no complaints because had opportunity to take these classes) starts getting pulled out in another class for "differentiation". 2) Elementary child now starting vocab lessons and Word within a Word is now being tweaked. Just more examples that this whole program was not buttoned up at all and the kids and teachers are suffering. Teachers are scrambling to make it work and the children aren't learning what they should be because this is all "theory". We are being taken for a bunch of chumps! Some of these administrators and paid consultants saw the $ and opportunity here in D181. It's insulting that the public comments were moved to suit the fabulous consultants. No way should they be shielded from the practicallity of their recommendations.
