#413 Enough!

I do not think we need to be attacking each other~ this isn't a parent vs teacher issue!!! The majority of parents, teachers and students all agreed on the balanced calendar~ the bottom line and issue here is the voices of CC were ignored! Now, what can we do together to fix this?

#413: - Enough! 

 Nothing.  The vote has been taken.  There is no grounds for recall.

4 board members, who campaigned on a promise to change the calendar, were elected, did what they said they would do, and changed the calendar.  They made a big mistake in asking for an uncontrolled survey. 

There is no grounds for a recall.  Any attempt for a recall will only lead to one thing - loss of additional teacher jobs.  Teachers will likely loose jobs with the budget this year.  The board likely won't raise taxes to save jobs.  (Why should they - school performance has INCREASED since teachers have been put under greater pressure to perform in recent years).  Any money to defend a recall comes from - the general fund which pays teach salaries.

So, this cute little petition forum, facebook recall forums, etc. are used to let people rant about how mean the school board is to them.

So, by all means - keep up the ranting about how mean they are and how teaching is just an incredibly difficult job.   I feel bad for the vast majority of excellent teachers in Cobb that have to work with the whiners.
