Say What?

CCSD's latest attempt to improve our schools includes all Title 1 middle schools starting school 2 hours later than usual two Wednesdays a month for professional development.
Yep, you heard it right. The children who need the most instruction are actually receiving less instruction. Word is Burke middle school students didn't know what to do with themselves. Parents had to go to work. Children disturbed neighbors opening car doors, invading one house over another. Well, duh, they're in middle school and they're unsupervised...waiting for the school doors to open.
Let me guess. The "educational scholar" who came up with this brilliant idea doesn't have kids, right?
According to a reliable source, when the District 20 board questioned Dr. McGinley about the foolishness of such an idea, she appeared "clueless" and said she'd check into it.
Why can't we have a Superintendent that has a PhD. in common sense?

Anyone with common sense would wash out of those education Ph.D. programs immediately.
