You Got The Blues?

For your consideration, an article from a local fish wrapper about open enrollment.

Here's a shocker:

Superintendents in the Blah Blah of Ohio, Edison Local, Blah Blah City and Hillary Clinton hosting city school districts did not return repeated phone messages seeking comment.

(All emphasis and literary license changes mine.)

Huge shock (not) that Edison Local didn't respond. Oh sure, we have old buildings out here, but the fact that so many kids out here are open enrolled and home schooled wouldn't have anything to do with (GASP!) crappy administration would it?

You know, yeah, there are some who may take umbrage at what's taught or how it's taught, but let's not ignore the high-heel-wearing elephant in the room.

For the record, I have considered open enrollment, no more so than after the recent teacher strike, and my choice NOT to is because my kids are thriving in Edison, the teachers (thus far - my kids are only 8 and 4) have been superb, and I have faith that somehow, some way, these issues will be resolved. It looks like there may be some light at the end of this old, crumbling tunnel.
