ITS THE SCHOOL DE-FORM NOT SCHOOL RE-FORM OF PENNSGROVE-CARNEYS POINT SCHOOL IN NEW JERSEY

My daughter and I just left the school board meeting. At the school board meeting, they engage on a issue of the school superintindent pay. What most intriguing to me is at what point is the issue of a failing school system will be engaged as well? Fact: 79% of the African-American along with 72% latino males scored below reading-comprehension portion of the NJASK test at 3rd and 4th grade level. That just certain aspects of the statistics. Yet at a school board meeting there has constant talk of school superintindent pay in which he makes $157,500, while kids are moving through a fail school system.

The people of this community are still waiting on this school superintindent to put into action, SCHOOL RE-FORM OF QUALITY EDUCATION, INSTEAD THERE IS SCHOOL DE-FORM OF EDUCATION. I ASK CHILDREN THAT ATTEND PENNSGROVE-CARNEYS POINT SCHOOLS, DO THEY THINK THEY RECIEVE QUALITY EDUCATION. THEY IN RETURN TOLD ME DEPENDS ON WHO TEACHING!!! THATS REAL SAD, every child has the right to recieve quality education. What is the difference between 1960's Thurgood Marshall fight for quality and equal resource for education than 2011?

If we dont address this issue in our community about time this kids reach graduation of high school they will be well below the learning process. Fact is the "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT" has done our kids a disservice! This inhumane act need to discarded from the education policy. About time these children graduate high school they would only be prepared to work at mcdonald's or warehouse work. I believe that our CHILDREN HAVE MORE TO OFFER IN LIFE THAN JUST A #2 COMBO MEAL WITH A  SOFT DRINK FROM MCDONALDS OR LOADING A TRACTOR TRAILOR OF LOGISTIC PRODUCTS.

We have some folks that sit on school board AND KNOW THESE KIDS ARE AT A DISADVANTAGE AND THEY DO OR SAY NOTHING ABOUT IT!!! BACK OF THE BUS THEY HAVENT HAD THERE ROSA PARKS MENTALITY BREAKTHROUGH YET.

ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE SCHOOL BOARD MAY TALK BETTER EDUCATION FOR THE CHILDREN BUT THERE IS NO ACTION!!! DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING SAID,"NEVER GET CAUGHT UP IN THE PARALYSIS OF ANALYSIS. ALL THE SCHOOL SUPERINTINDANT IS WORRIED ABOUT IS HIS SALARY AND MAKING PRETEND HE SO IN TOUCH WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN WHICH HE IS NOT. PEOPLE WHO SURROUND HIM FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD FROM BOARD PRESIDENT TO THE NEWLY SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, ALL THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT IS JUST BEING ON THE BOARD AND "DO NOTHING ATTITUDE", SAY ONE THING BUT THEIR ACTION DONT LINE UP WITH THE WORDS THAT COME OUT THERE MOUTH.

IN CLOSING, TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES IT STARTS WITH THE PARENTS AT HOME COMING OUT TO THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING POSING TOUGH QUESTIONS AND HOLD THE PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE ON THE SCHOOL BOARD BECAUSE THE SCHOOL BOARD WORKS FOR ANYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY THAT HAS A CHILD THAT GOES TO THE SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT.
