ReplyDeleteWhy would someone pay for your "I hate Joplin Schools" blog?

ReplyDelete"I hate Joplin Schools' administrators", though, is something a number of us are willing to pay for, at least while the bulk of them are reliable reported to be worth our "hate" (really, we just want them to go somewhere else). Ditto all the other corrupt and/or criminal targets of our host's "hate".
Keep up the great work Randy!
ReplyDeleteThose of us who appreciate the truth do care.

ReplyDeleteOf your 108 Reasons why the community needs your blog 59 of the posts (54%) are negative towards to School District and or Bright Futures. I can't imagine why anyone would call this the I Hate Joplin Schools Blog...
ReplyDeleteDear 12:15 PM,
ReplyDeleteThere's a big difference between "I Hate Joplin Schools" vs. "I Hate What Has Happened to Joplin Schools and I Want It to Stop." The Huff administration that systematically drove the district into the ground is just that--an administration. It is not Joplin Schools, and it has earned every critical comment on record. If the people of Joplin didn't love Joplin Schools--and they do--nobody would have any interest at all in what has transpired in the district the last few years. The sound coming through this blog is often that of anger and outrage, and rightly so. It's the sound of a lot of chickens finally coming home to roost and numerous people in positions of authority finally being held accountable for their actions, which is good. When Joplin teachers stop leaving the district in droves, we will know we're on the right track in repairing the damage and rebuilding the district. Finally.
