I think we all need God in everything. I feel sad for you!!!!!
I agree Buzz. But I certainly don’t want any school, traditional public, charter or private, in charge of my children or grandchildren’s religious instruction. Talk about parental choice! What could be more personal than that? And whether I agree or not, it’s not my place (or anybody else’s) to judge other people’s religious choices.

I know you won’t like this but bureaucratic inertia is a big part of it. I’m as serious as I can be about this. “But we’ve always done it this way” is one of the hardest things for reformers to overcome. You can change the laws in Raleigh or Washington but that doesn’t change the mindset or practices of managers or hiring directors at the local level. They’ll default to “this is how we’ve done it for years and I know what to do” as opposed to “this is something new and I don’t want to take a chance of making a mistake”. I’ve seen it lots of times which is why I keep harping on doing things that operate outside the established bureaucracy.

I actually don't disagree with you

West Charlotte at Erwin

When Mooresville was in the IMECK 4A we went down there on Homecoming a couple times. Their band and color guard girls were right below our perch on top of the press box. 😯 They also had smoked chicken leg quarters and fried fish for halftime. We couldn’t scramble down there fast enough once the clock hit double zeros.
Now that sounds like a good halftime meal. Screw nachos! Lol

Then why can't the state change those credentials?

One of the biggest improvements is giving schools the ability to handle discipline as needed. The state really handcuffs this and is threatening certain school districts funding over the amount of suspensions. Bad behavior staying in classrooms is a huge reason why many folks leave.

We have to pay teachers better to keep them in the classroom and find incentives for them. Schools need adequate teachers to limit class size. Especially in higher grades.

Schools need nurses, counselors, among other services to take those stresses off teachers and administrators. A teacher shouldn't be doing concussion evaluations when a kid bumps their head.

I appreciate your thoughts and think you have valid points in your other post above your reply to me.

If WC brings the band it’s worth the price of admission 😎

What's craven vs northeastern

I know you’ll be at the game Friday, y’all should come hang with us. I’m always in the same spot and I know Otis will be either with me or on the West Craven sideline. He may be better off down there because I’m gonna be giving him an earful 😃.
You better leave Otis alone he's going to Whip you. 🤣🤣 Besides Otis might be the one talking smack.
