No Leadership he...Peg you hit the nail on the head. No Leadership here or in Albany or in D.C. And why do they all despise Phil Rumore ? Because he leads and he doesn't suffer fools, greenhorns or toadies, He told Ianuzzi to get stuffed, he tells lil John and the Kingdumb to get stuffed and he's telling the district to get stuffed because they are all operating in bad faith and there's nothing to negotiate with people like this until they come clean and do right. Leaders are few and far between these days. I was out with a NY State Trooper friend who told me he likes Rumore for this very reason. The guy tells you what needs to happen and until it does he says ok I guess we'll see you in court.

Great job on outlining yesterday's New...Mouse,<br /> Great job on outlining yesterday's News' comments about the problems facing the schools. Lack of leadership at the state and federal levels have caused most of them. Greed has caused a lot them.<br />Today's News was another frustrating read. There is so much ignorance bias, and misinformation that it would take an astronomical amount of "education" to make a dent in the "fertilizer" that is being passed off as facts and research.<br /><br />Sean is right about the devastation awaiting the schools and the teachers if the apathy displayed by those who are working in public education contiues. That admonition starts with top administrators and filters down . <br /><br /> Fortunatley there are folks like you who have not given up, and keep us informed .

1. http://...Some BNews articles of interest today:<br /><br />1. http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20121205/CITYANDREGION/121209523<br /><br />In the above, Buffalo Fiscal Stability Authority Chairman R. Nils Olsen Jr. personally (!) wants to return to a "hard" status, but only for the district. A sort of cialis pill to specially pinpoint the district. Oh yes, if the BFSA is allowed to go hard for the District, "it would have authority over union contracts and spending". That right there will arouse all EdDeformers in town. No need for pharmaceuticals.The ER's in Buffalo were probably full of EdDeFormers four hours after this little gathering.<br /><br />2. "8 of 9 more low-performing schools will submit least-dramatic option" by Mary Pasciak in which Mary bemoans the fact that there will be no more drama. I am sure the "Glee" like cast of DPCC characters can bring the drama next week at their parent hootenanny planned for the 11th. That meeting should provide a dramatic masterpiece for you, Mary.<br />PS: no link to this article. Ya gotta shell out the $$$ to read this one.<br /><br />3.Editorial "Intransigence Rules" in bold.<br />http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/search?BuildNavigators=1&crit=intransigence+rules&DateRange=<br /><br />First sentence "January 17th is creeping up fast."<br />And Chicken Little is still running around! The Buffalo teachers are told to look to Depew of all places to learn how to submit a plans. This hearkens to Seans apples and oranges from above.<br />Will the editorial board ever come up with something new? <br /><br />4. Last but not least, Rod Watson holds up a school with 38 students as a model. Proving, as he says, that even at-risk kids do learn. Gee, Rod, we didn't know that! Apples and Oranges again. They're everywhere! Rod, you are insane. No disrespect to Our Lady of Hope Home School. Whatever. This is NOT a must-read, though.<br />http://www.buffalonews.com/Article/20121205/CITYANDREGION/121209504Anonymousenoreply@blogger.com
