IT'S ALL IN WHO YOU KNOW

Lynn Officials Credit Lab Program For Students’ Science Bump www.wbur.org

This kind of welcome news, but I admit I was A little caught off-guard. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. I have made fun of the McScience nature of it all but I am somewhat of a purist if you can believe it.

All of that changed when I heard our high and mighty MAYOR questioning the wisdom of purchasing it because someone without the benefits came up with it. It was something like "Shucks I don't have an advanced education in education either, I mean it's like I could have written it."

Guess what? You didn't and neither did LUCKY LATHAM.

Now everyone claims to be data drive. Well, the data was there and still, the majority was against the expenditure. MARIA CARRASCO, LSC member said, "Hold on a minute here. Why can't the other schools have it? Why is it only in selected schools?"

She was told it was through a grant and it was up and we're getting this NEW SCIENCE CURRICULUM DIRECTOR  and we are starting this new INNOVATION SCHOOL where we hope to spread what we learn there.

I think we all know about their so-called INNOVATION SCHOOL and I haven't heard of any more new hires.

So, if the powers that be decided to go off in this direction, I'm glad for them.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, I'M GLAD FOR OUR CHILDREN.

I just hope the report is true, there has been a lot of misinformation out there.
