Comments?
I welcome all comments of a positive
nature, and work often with parents and
taxpayers who sincerely want to improve
their local schools.  
         Upset as you may be when you first
discover wrongdoing in your local schools,
rants and negativity serve no useful
purpose, and you will only begin to
become effective when you get past that
stage.  Think about it:  if someone
approaches you with a stick, won't you
automatically go into a defensive mode?   
        On my site you will find many
suggestions for positive steps you and/or
your group can take.  If you're going to call
your superintendent and/or school board
members and/or anyone else names,
however clever they may seem to you at the
time, this is probably not the website for
you.  
Complaints?
If you believe that I have published
something which is not true,
please send me your paper
record(s) making your case.  I am always
eager to learn and publish the truth.

More information in subject line -- not less
Friends, I try to read all emails.  The emails that don't get
read and/or go straight to the junk box are usually the ones
with little or no information in the subject line; because of
this, the more specific information -- especially from which
part of the country you live in and/or the name of your district
or the education entity you're writing about  -- the more likely
it will get read.

What you can send
Photographs, paper records, correspondence.

Please indicate clearly whether I may give you credit or you would
prefer to keep your identity confidential.

Also, please indicate a context for whatever you send if we've not
previously corresponded.
Here's an example of a photograph taken and sent by a reader
who preferred to remain anonymous; it's of the lakefront
residence of a Texas school district vendor who had been so
successful from its primary account with the district that his
corporation was able to extend a loan to the two top executives to
purchase homes such as this.
Friends, thank you for finding this site!
     After many years as a volunteer, having tried a variety of approaches to correcting things that were wrong in our
public schools -- fuzzy math curriculums, wasteful spending practices, corruption -- I realized that we can make
substantial changes if we:
           1.  Set and achieve one goal at a time.       3.  Join forces with others who are of like mind regarding our goal.
           2.  Follow the money.                             4.  Stay positive.
     Because nothing can change until we can track individual dollars, the single best place to start is to persuade our
local school district to voluntarily post its check register (checkbook) online; everyone who has followed the steps
exactly as suggested
here has meet with 100% success.  
     Please take a look at the "What you can do" button on the home page toolbar.  Together, we really can improve our
public schools.
