The students, who are already attending classes 10 minutes later than usual each day to make up for scheduling school a week later than normal, have to make up five days to take care of the second week of delay due to the new high school building not being ready for occupation.
The proposed calendar, prepared by Executive Director of High School Instruction Jason Cravens and signed off on by Superintendent C. J. Huff, also calls for students to attend three other days, September 26, October 24, and January 26, which originally had been designated for teacher professional development or parent-teacher meetings.
Is there any other district that has an executive director of high school instruction???
ReplyDeleteThey can celebrate Huff Day instead.
ReplyDeleteKindergarten is not too soon to begin to worship Dear Leader Huff.
They can chant along to the words on the jumbotron.
Huffda Huffda Huffda!
Have A Happy Huff Day!
Yay!
Why do the kids have to pay the price for poor administration?
ReplyDeleteThe high school was not ready for the beginning of the school year. It was not going to be ready. They delayed the school starting in an effort to give as much time as possible to what was already going to be a tight deadline, and they still had to delay it further as the date grew near. Whole sections of the high school are still unavailable meaning kids are not able to do all the things they signed up for.
Meanwhile, instead of owning the mess he made, this dude is busy dreaming about six-mile ribbons and presidential visits because he still sees this all as an accomplishment and wants to exploit the tornado and its victims one last time for his own glory.
That is who C.J. Huff is.
Never mind all the mess made where the gloss of computers are used to compensate for poor administrative decisions with regards to curriculum, shifting elementary teachers and students after school has started to compensate for poor administrative planning with regards to population distribution, parking fees being jacked up to compensate for poor administrative decisions with regards to finance, and the uncomfortable working environment that results for teachers who dare to speak out about poor administrative decisions.
That is who C.J. Huff is.
Don't forget it.
I predict attendance will be pretty low on those days.
ReplyDeleteI predict that learning will be even lower than the attendance o those days.
ReplyDeleteBah humbug on the Huff and Puff maladministration.
I bet the teachers will be sitting in empty classrooms on December 22-23. I know my child won't be there. How's he going to make up for all of that lost money? Oh wait, he'll charge us for something else!!
ReplyDeleteAnother ridiculous decision. Really students will not be there after Friday. Why are we dismissing school for an in completed mess. Huffy needs get attention but what he doesn't realize nobody wants to see him do anything but leave for good!
ReplyDeleteThe students and community were told when the school didn't open on time that those days would have to be made up. As much as I despise Cj Huff, it is what it is, and so they need to get up and come to school. They already had those days off. It's the responsibility of their parents to get them there, or expect them to face the consequences. Maybe yours, like mine, will try harder to be finals exempt so they don't have to come to school those last two days. It just seems like with all the problems we have that this one is relatively minor. I'd rather focus on the finances and the damage done to their education with poor curriculum choices and teacher turnover rates.
ReplyDelete4:55-
ReplyDeleteNope, no other district. Huff likes to talk about all the money he has saved by not having all those asst. supers, but he has two directors, a curriculum coordinator (it is to laugh), a COO, a director of grounds, directors of special ed, and the list goes on and on. What he needs is more custodians, full-time bus drivers, and more teachers--especially reading teachers. But that he will never do, because he cuts from the bottom of the deck in more ways than one.
Funny how it was announced that school would take place at the high school before it was approved by the Board. Seems like they don't have a say in it at all. Another case of CJ putting the cart before the horse and letting us all know just what he thinks of HIS Board.
ReplyDeleteAs the Craves "job," he is completely worthless. Just a mouthpiece for Huff Daddy to use and throw away. And how could we ever surive without Jason giving us Keith's weather reports?
