And just think, it was only a few years ago when some of the geniuses in Walton County were slobbering all over Carlene Anderson, praising her for doing such a wonderful job with our schools.
Apparently most voters like this chain of command and are more than content to have a female dictater at the wheel.

Too many family connections in the system to mess it up now.

Candy for fools.

Who ultimately accepted responsibility for the druggie teacher, the appointing of an unqualified finance director and a host of other screw ups?

John,
The only exception I take with your post is including the adjective "female " in front of the word dictator. Her gender is not the issue. I would argue she was more "male fortitude" than a stallion put out for stud.

Point Taken. Poor wording on my part. Sorry.

Could someone articulate a parent's role in educating their children?

I think every family views it differently.

For our family, it means being involved at our kids' schools - not only to help the schools, but for our kids to see that we take their education seriously and they are important enough to put in the time with them.

It also depends on the school/school system.

A parents role in educating their children should be as the prime provider. From the moment your child becomes aware of the world around them, you should start teaching them. That doesn't end when they get on the school bus.

In our family education begins in the home and what children learn at home should supplement and enhance what children learn in the schools. It's always been important for us to support our kids' activities such as sports, band, etc. as well as to monitor children's progress. We've always felt it was important to keep a line of communication open with teachers but we don't believe parents should butt in on teachers doing their jobs.

Now a days, School is more of a day care while parents work.

Kids need to learn, not be baby sat.
