HISTORY ON HISTORY

The recent presentation by the LYNN MUSEUM on plans to partner with the LPS with the blessings of the LSC was very encouraging/ The LABOR EXHIBITION from the SMITHSONIAN is going yo be exciting and from all indications will give Lynn students exposure to exhibits only in one other museum in the state. Good job all around.

Here though in where I run into a little problem.You see this is not some grand new partnership forged from the sweat and hard work of certain elected officials. Instead of paper cuts there may have been some bruised egos when I went to press with what I saw as an unwillingness of LPS to get behind a generous offer of FREE transportation by the LYNN MUSEUM to all the third grade classes in the city to tour an exhibition that was specifically targeted for their curriculum. It was a very viewed post complete with comments how it was too much trouble to take kids down there and lose precious class time.

Well now the tables are turned and this looks to be a much more ambitous project with LPS picking up the transportation tab. In the end it doesn't really matter who is responsible, it's just good that the MUSEUM is being utilized.

I DO HAVE TO POINT OUT THOUGH, THIS "PARTNERSHIP" SEEMS TO HAVE COME ABOUT WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF THE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP PERSON WE HIRED. iT MAKES YOU WONDER IF PEOPLE JUST DO THEIR JOBS DO WE REALLY NEED TO FUND SUCH A POSITION?
