I am most interested in knowing what Patty meant by "Thinking outside of the box". If this means offering a pittance above their current offer, or tying their offer to a greatly reduced cost (loss of retro pay), this will be our signal that nothing has changed. It is time for the board to deal with us honestly, and not continue with their lies and patronizing. If we show weakness now, we will lose again next year!

I applaud the writer for having the honesty and courage to publicly admit being wrong, but having the decency to search her own soul and learn something from the experience.<BR/><BR/>The question is, do our district leaders possess these same personality strengths? The next two weeks may be highly instructive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362648620673810271.post-74742537358234736902007-05-06T20:19:00.000-07:002007-05-06T20:19:00.000-07:00Truer words have never been written.

Yucaipa is on the verge of becoming the laughingstock of the Inland Empire. We need to stop treating teachers as political pawns, and treat them like the professionals they are. Stop the Madness!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
