COMMENT:


Dear Chris,




I am doing fine. This week I have sort of turned into a Jesus Freak.




That's why every other post is about what's going on at Harvest Time Church.




This Church's 25th Anniversary has sort of turned into an old style revivial meeting, I am going to men's prayer in the morning. Church services at 10 AM and 7 PM. Plus there are are all of these meals with speakers.




Here is info about what I've been doing:




Pray Connecticut - Greenwich Church celebrates 25th with special services - Harvest Time Church in Greenwich, CT is hosting a series of special services this week to celebrate its 25th...




You would think that multiple church services would work better than "No-Doze" to put you to sleep. But each event has a different Pastor or speaker who is from a different part of the world.




I never went to an event like this before and have been amazed at how inspirational these Pastors are. One speaker was Pastor Jackson Senyonga of Uganda. He is like the Billy Graham of Uganda, but only better.




This guy rents the national stadiun in Kampala and reguarly fills it with like over a 100,000 people on a regular basis.




So I have fallen behind in reporting the news and am like the Greenwich Post and playing catch up on reporting about Betty Sternberg. Actually I am a little bit a head of the Greenwich Post, because I have at least opined a little about the soon to be ex - School Superintendent.




For Two Days The Greenwich Post is totally unaware that Ms. Sternberg is resigning in June of next year. Please see.....








If the Publisher had not listened to a bunch of real estate firms, who are now probably cutting way back on their advertising budgets, then he would still have the For What It's Worth column in his paper and the Betty Sternberg story would have at least covered.




But, Nooooooo.




Mr. Hersam was sooooooooo worried about some real estate ads that he did not get anyway.




Well Mr. Hersam and I just saw your piece on Ms. Sternberg and we are both playing catch up to For What It's Worth .








Our School Superintendent announced yesterday that she will not seek to have her employment contract renewed. She leaves in June.




Well, even if her students can't, now we know that Sternberg can read writing on the wall.




Time to consider Peter Tesei's (and others') idea of selecting our next Superintendent from among the ranks of our current principals, who presumably know the town, its students and the parents. And if none do, who are we hiring as our principals?

Good Bye and Good Ridance - another waste of time and money - and who are the losers?? You got it right - the town citizens and all their children. What a mess our education system is - where is the leadership???







It will make absolutely no difference where and how your new superintendent is chosen. Every last one of them is part of the "blob," as it's called in NYC, the "educationist" cartel. They all belong to the same union, have the same phony-baloney degrees in phony-baloney subjects from phony-baloney schools of "education." The blob has a stranglehold, written into state laws, on all aspects of public education and like all monopolies and cartels, you have as much choice with them as you did with the garbage collection cartels of old (or do they still exist?).

Interesting - I agree - I think! :)
