D'AMATO SPANKS SCHOOL BOARD AGAIN

For well over two decades I've been reading Luisa D'Amato's opinions and comments on our educational system. They exhibit common sense as well as knowledge and experience in understanding and deciphering our two Boards's edubabble and puffery. While Luisa is usually diplomatic nevertheless anybody other than teacher union repss who have been reading Luisa's writing long enough, has to know that at least one of the two Boards don't really care a whit about students. It's all about them, their power and authority, perks, benefits, income and preferably public persona. This includes their partners in education the teachers' unions. Hence recently one of our local teachers' unions talked about a boycott of the Waterloo Region Record because of one of Luisa's columns. Poor babies.

Today's Record carrys Luisa's latest comments on education titled "Plan to raise student achievemnet is weak". Well after reading Luisa's article she is correct. What the Board (WRDSB) are passing off as a plan is just more of the same pablum for the masses. It does nothing because they don't want to change and have no incentive to do so. They have lost all moral authority to fix things from within. I wonder which other provincial partry forming a government down the road will take the bull by the horns and houseclean the self-serving, egocentric school board system?
