…they have a hard time doing the same to Duluth’s School Board members.
However, a High School student at last year’s combined Central/Denfeld isn’t impressed with the their handiwork.
Andrew Laughlin’s piece was a little fuzzy about what took place and whose fault it was. He did say that heroic efforts to blend the two student bodies were attempted. The Principal got a pat on the back but not so much the teachers. Perhaps that is because their morale was so tattered and they were so overworked. In any event it was clear Mr. Laughlin felt the press attempted to paper over the disconcerting reality.
“While the media offered reports of a silky smooth merger, the reality was a transition rougher than Duluth’s roads. Central’s halls were filled with a resounding disrespect among students, especially toward students from the other school.”
I lay the blame at Dr. Dixon’s feet. I lay the blame at his loyalists who turned a blind eye to any hint of mismanagment. Its depressing when the rumor mills seem to carry more truth than reports from our city’s journalists. Read the previous post lifted from the latest Reader Weekly in its entirety if you want to really appreciate the MO of the Superintendent who must not be named…….except in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, where, like Voldmort, he has retreated until his horcruxes are destroyed.
Its way past time to get Lucius Malfoy and Belatrix LeStrange off the School Board.
PS. I can’t vouch for having gotten Art Johnston’s text inserted spot on. Pay my typos no mind. His piece is devastating and in the Reader Weekly not the Duluth News Tribune where Art, no doubt, expected that it would have been edited out of recognition.
I can’t wait to see Judy’s, no check that, Katie Kaufman’s reply.
