"Face it- our kids are being used as experimental test subjects."

I'll let you in on a little secret: MANY supers are guilty of running a wide assortment of experiments on kids...and teachers for that matter. Decisions are often made from above without real hard thinking about consequences. Ironically, the people that have the most experience and knowledge concerning what the kids need, and DONT need, are rarely if ever asked to provide input. I'm talking about the teachers of course. We're the ones with the kids every day. If I bumped into our super on the street, I wouldn't know her, and she wouldn't know me. Many of you feel helpless with your tax situation. Well teachers have a helpless feeling too...it comes when policy is passed down from above, by people that really don't know what they're doing.
