I've been cursed to have a poet's mind. How can I understand the way the world works or at least the way LPS works. First there is this CONFIDENTIAL SECRETARY to SPECIAL EDUCATION you see who gets fired or otherwise eliminated.
Then there is this lawsuit or complaint with the Civil Rights Board that she supposedly wins where they are supposed give her her job back EXCEPT the job NO LONGER EXISTS. Long story short, you may win but you still lose.
So if you lose, you can still turn defeat into victory by dragging your feet. In the meantime our SPED Department is threatened with takeover by the state. So rather than admit defeat on a personnel matter, LPS has chosen instead to reposition this person away from the very place that has been acknowledged needs HELP. Blame it on the unions. Sure, that's the easy excuse for poor management of HUMAN resources.
You know what I want Stan? I want one of our school committee members to play hard ball. No I want four of them to play. Tell Latham to stop spending our money, admit that the SPED department is broken and failing children and find several solutions to the problem. And if that means Latham, Menino, Muggio, McLughlin loses their jobs, well then FINE. If they were the CEO, Head of Sales, Assistant Head of Sales and Supervisor of Sales for "LPS company" and 24 of the 26 stores they were responsible for weren't making a profit and an entire department was breaking the law - the stockholders would demand the resignation of these key and obviously ineffectual people.
ReplyDeleteWe should organize a strike. If every child in Lynn stayed home from school for one day, the same day - we could bring them to their knees. They'd have to listen. They'd have to negotiate. They're so enamored with their unions, lets show them the POWER of organization.
