**** JUST SOME THOUGHTS ON THE STATE OF THE SCHOOLS.
I SPENT 17 TO 18 YEARS AS A STUDENT, 32 YEARS AS A TEACHER & ADMINISTRATOR , & ABOUT 4 YEARS AS A HIRED COACH .
HERE ARE SOME THINGS I NOTICED ALONG THE WAY .
MEMPHIS CITY SCHOOLS ARE A FAILURE . THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE IS THE COLLAPSE OF THE FAMILY UNIT IN THEIR COMMUNITY .
THOSE CHILDREN ARE COMING TO SCHOOL TOO FAR BEHIND TO CATCH UP . THEY ARE NOT ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD .
THE SHELBY COUNTY SCHOOLS ARE SOME BETTER BECAUSE THEY HAVE BETTER PREPARED STUDENTS WITH MORE HOME SUPPORT .
THE SCS STUDENTS HAVE A HEAD START IN THE RACE SO THEY SHOULD DO BETTER .
CONSOLIDATION WILL HURT BOTH SYSTEMS WHILE HELPING NEITHER ONE .
ONLY MEMPHIS VOTERS SHOULD DECIDE THE SURRENDER OF THE MEMPHIS CHARTER . THIS IS A MEMPHIS THING.
ONLY SHELBY COUNTY VOTERS SHOULD HAVE ANY SAY IN THE COUNTY SCHOOLS .
IF THERE IS ONE UNIFIED SCHOOL SYSTEM THE SUPERINTENDENT WILL BE WILLIE HERENDON .
THE ONLY WAY FOR SCHOOLS TO BE SUCCESSFUL IS TO GIVE PARENTS A CHOICE , & SCHOOLS MUST COMPETE FOR STUDENTS .
THE UNITED STATES HAS THE WORST K-12 EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE WORLD , BUT HAS THE FINEST UNIVERSITY SYSTEM IN THE WORLD . THE REASON IS THE COLLEGES MUST COMPETE FOR STUDENTS SO THEY MUST GET RESULTS .
YOU LET SCHOOLS START COMPETING FOR STUDENTS , THEN YOU WILL SEE SCHOOLS GETTING RESULTS .
GIVE PARENTS A CHOICE & WATCH THE POOR SCHOOLS FADE AWAY . PRIVATE SCHOOLS KNOW THEY HAVE TO PRODUCE OR PERISH .
WHY SHOULD YOUR EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY BE DETERMINED BY YOUR ZIP CODE ?
CHOICE & COMPETITION ARE THE ANSWERS .
THANK YOU FOR READING . !!!!
