It Looks Like CCSD's Teachers Have Another Turkey on Their Hands

as superintendent, as Dwight Jones has all kinds of big ideas for "reform" of the gigantic district.

Of course, it's all the same old, same old shit of demonizing teachers while letting dipshit administrators off the hook.

I saw this post in the article by a teacher, and I love it:

At the risk of being fired and called disrespectful, at this point in the game I don't think 38,000 CCSD employees really want to read a 36-page paper that is more like a master thesis than an action plan. Many people really do not care about 'explanations' why things have to be done this way and that way and why.
At this point of the game, all we want to hear is: Schools are failing. The governor is cutting the school budget, what are you going to do about it? When possibly 5,000 jobs or more are being cut, employees are not going to be impressed with a "36-page of what I want to do." Just do it and show us how you are going to do it. For example:
There are too many administrators and assistants with salaries over $100,000 with assistants to assistants, secretaries to the assistants, and doing $35,000 worth of effort. I am cutting half of those positions.
There are too many people in various departments that are not doing anything for students and are doing even less for education. I am going to abolish those departments.
There are far too many positions who don't do anything but tell teachers what to do in classrooms. I will tell them to back off and cut their positions.
There are too many administrators who are idiots, who play favorites, and make teachers' lives a living hell so they will transfer to other schools while they keep their pet 'turkeys.' I will get rid of them.
We are buying things to make people not directly connected to teaching have fancy offices and equipment while school teachers have to buy their own paper and markers. I will put a stop to it.
There are far too many administrators with offices like the Taj Majal while 30 students cram in a classroom made for 20. I will downsize those offices.
Well Sir Jones, those are only examples of what the public wants to hear - not some fancy words - yours and those you quote - to tell us what you intend to do - what you call a blueprint - which will take money and time to implement. We are losing many excellent teachers who just can't stand working hard and being insulted with pay and benefit cuts and not an assurance of a steady job.
When you have "cleaned the house" which has been really messy all these years, invite us in and maybe we will be more inclined to applaud your efforts in writing a "paper." To me, that is all it is, a piece of paper.

Amen to that.  The biggest morons on the planet are school administrators, and they are obscenely paid.
