This is brainwashing at its finest. And it's not just Dalton. It's LREI, Dalton and so many others. Parents, speak with your feet. Empty these schools out and they'll learn just who their constituents actually are..... Good luck to us all.

Canning his a!! is step one. Note, consequential administrators signed that faculty letter. They need to go too. There's so much gangrene at that place that restoring it to health is a chancy proposition.

Radical surgery means that the school suspends operations for six months, 90 faculty members are terminated, and the school sets up hiring committees to replace those 90 teachers. The 40 remaining faculty and members of the National Association of Scholars could supply hiring committee members. This might kill the school with debt, just as radical surgery often fails. Again, what that letter indicated was that most of their faculty have no vocation to teach. When you have a vocation to teach, you want students to (1) learn material and (2) learn how to gather material and think for themselves. Often you fail at that, but that's the prize. <br /><br />I might note also, the faculty who signed that letter are pathological characters who would be quite deviant in an ordinary workplace. No normal adult want's <i>12</i> salaried positions allocated to aspirant Mme. Defarge's whose job is to harass people. Art Decohttp://wwrtc.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
