Agree - that says a lot for the school system. If I had children in school, that would truly make me feel a lot more confident about how things are run.

I wonder if some of these nutcases are deported and sent away from their homelands, states, cities, or whatever?

Here in the Dallas ISD, How can you make a 150 million budget mistake???
Its just gone...yeah right!
They have not dumped the Superintendent and the Board even voted to change the term limits from 3 to 4 years so they can stay in office another year.
Guess they needed more time to completely burn it to the ground.

That is awful!

Well, we have a really good Superintendent for the CMS system. He has had a lot dumped on him and seems to be on top of things. We are fortunate he agreed to come here, IMHO. Mismanagement at the top is a sure recipe for failure.

The thing I see as being something that would improve the CMS system would be to divide it into 3 separate districts, but everyone says that won't work. I never have understood WHY tho . . .

Saw this and it reminded me of this thread. Short excerpt:

The long-term trend has been for Americans to leave Northeast and Midwest population centers for warmer, job-creating states in the Sunbelt and West. That movement has slowed, according to the Census. New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Connecticut had much higher growth rates last year than they did during the housing boom earlier this decade. Nevada and Arizona, which over the past few years vied to be the nation's fastest-growing state, saw their rates of growth decrease.

A similar dynamic is playing out in the South, where Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee benefited from migration during the housing boom. The most recent data show population growth slowing there, too.

So, if I am to understand this data correctly people prefer having a desire for: colder, dark and friggen dismal climates in the NE, with "higher growth levels".All previous desires for opps. such as exist in CLT are now passe?

Yep. I guess you right. Not. I just love some of the words in this report. Observe
1) Movement has slowed
2) dynamics playing out
3) Pop. growth slowing

When did all this happen? While I was sleeping?? Heck I only sleep 6 hours a nite...this is really happening FAST.

Growth must slow at some point due to saturation, but the fact is the top 10 fastest growing states are still in the south or west, with Illinois being the exception. Here's a link that explains: North Carolina is nation's 4th fastest-growing state | CharlotteObserver.com

This is just a slowing down of a continuing trend. Nothing shows that the trend itself is going to stop anytime soon.
