wusa9.com | Sources: Prince George's Co officials authorized secret pay raises for central office employees

Explain this away boosters.

Meanwhile, my last 10 years before I retired my cumulative raise as a classroom teacher was 2.5%.

These people are outrageous. It is really making me question if I can vote for Baker.

Not sure I understand the title of this thread. A target for what?

A target for criticism and oversight. You aren't that obtuse.

Oh stop. The county is not the only county with administrative issues. I think some people just enjoy highlighting the negative instead of the positive.

IT's like reviews. People are more likely to post online a negative review than they are a good one.

But hey, to each his own. It is well known that the county has had challenges with the school system for a long time and still does. And I don't want to get into the weeds of why. And apparently, the administration and school board keep shooting themselves in the foot.

Just as there are boosters, there are detractors. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Thanks for sharing though.

Like I said, before the boosters get in.

If you can't see the endemic problems, and commit to fixing them, then the problem is YOU. That's the point I'm trying to make.

What I bolded is important. If it's "not the only County with administrative problems" let's hear about them. You don't because they're taken care of and don't have yet another "internal audit" done.

Dallas Dance, Superintendent in Baltimore County, falsified his disclosure statement (and has since been indicted for doing so). It was less than a month from the time that came out until he resigned.

You're the one that made the booster comment.

I never denied the issues in the system. I know they exist. But, by all means, enjoy your thread.

You're correct, you don't deny them. You ignore them, minimize them, rationalize them or, when the previous don't work, throw the race card.

Those are your opinions. You know nothing about me outside of this forum. You don't know who I've talked to, who I write letters to, or who I call. No one rationalizes criminal and unethical behavior. I've only attempted to weed through the BS comments that the PG school system is the worst on the planet. THat's all I've spoken out against.

THe race card comment was expected. It is a tool used by those who can't seem to grasp the idea that 60 years of half-baked civil rights laws will never remediate the harm done economically and educationally to African Americans.

Unfortunately, race is intertwined in every facet of inequality in this country and that includes education. If anyone is using a race card, it isn't people of color. Look to those who have the power and the resources to use race to horde privilege while at the same time oppress others that don't look like them.
