District to Parents: Sit Down and Shut Up

We may have achieved a new high in the headlong march towards no accountability in the public education system. We read with disdain the stories of NYC teachers accused of malfeasance kept on the payroll for years reporting to work not in a classroom but in a separate facility.....all because they can't be fired...
Now in the General Brown school district, the WDT reports those disatisfied with the superintendent cannot identify him by name and must be civil when voicing concern at a Board of Education meeting.
Can't mention his name ? It's Stephan Vigliotti, Sr. and for him to expect...and this policy suggests he does...well, for him to expect public discourse over him and his performance will be tamped down or sanitized...well that's just silly.
District residents and parents need to know why there is the apparent level of unease with Mr. Vigliotti that would lead to such a policy declaration by the district's lawyer.
What's next, a ban on public gatherings of more than three people in Brownville and Dexter....Move along folks.

I believe we should give Vigliotte a 20% raise to pad his retirement and find him a job in another school district. Whattaya bet that's what they do?

There is no part of our society that is more out of control and unaccountable than our public schools.

And I thought you never went to church, Evil.

Look at this exchange. Complete agreement on our failed schools from a Conservative and a Liberal. And our Governments solution will no doubt be business as usual, shovel money on them. But I guess that is what matters to our teacher union and who am I to question what is good for the children.

The Teachers's union doesn't represent Administrators.

5:03, get your hand out of your pants. They are both strokin' each other. They are all stealing from the same kitty. They are both using the same lies and the same propaganda. They both profit from the same excess. And they both feed each other's bullsh*t. Otherwise, oh brilliant one, they are independent folks.

What an idiot. Wake the hell up before it is too late.

By the way, are you an administrator or a teacher?

It looks like the parents and taxpayers of General Brown are doing exactly what they were told to do.

Well I'm sure both parties are happy to have you there, pointing out the real issues. ?
