I left this post as sort of a placeholder that I intended to finish up the next day. The next day came and went and the next day.
I’m reluctant to comment on it now because, like the graduation/dropout rate its a sore subject that requires some thought and a little communication for me to sort out. Its not the first post on the subject that I’ve failed to complete or in some other way interrupted. A week or more ago I woke up in the middle of the night and composed five “chainsaws” or posts about School District related issues that were eating at me. This all has to do with Chainsaw number three. That chainsaw is still sawing away at me. It involves one of our schools that has been given a lot of great publicity for having turned around. We may have cut some corners getting from A to Z and some members of the alphabet are none too pleased.
I’ll just say that this issue is still gnawing away at me and that I honestly don’t know quite how to deal with it. After I’ve reached some sort of resolution in my own mind I’ll feel more free to pontificate.
