Don't kid yourself.

Did you really direct a reader to keep their opinion quiet? You not only have been provided a convenient means to express *your* opinion, you didn't even have to buy postage to do so. It is a privilege to have TheCitizen.com so that everyone within reach may express his or her own opinion. This is an editorial section, which perhaps you don't understand.

Your directive is somewhat dictatorial. Maybe your time would better spent improving your grammar and punctuation failings.

" . . . crap" is hardly a sophisticated or intelligent word choice, and to which "principle" were you referring? Scientific laws? Moral laws? Laws of reason?

If I did pick on Obama's health care plan, would you try to suppress that speech as well? I have a feeling you would.

I am simply answering the question that was posed. That is what this forum is for-stating your opinion-Freedom of Speech....

Not the same school... Hood Ave is down the hill...

Have you not been reading the news? For one thing, teachers are people too, in fact most of us are also parents. We feel the sting of the economy, furloughs, pay cut, proposed future furloughs, in addition to the uncertainty of our health benefits, etc. We are caught in the middle of this mess with no fault of our own. We don't lead glamorous lives, we do NOT drive expensive cars. We do however spend an unlimited amount of our own money in our classrooms and we do it because we want the best for our students. If we didn't want to be here we wouldn't. Our jobs are our passion. Can you put a price on that?
But, back to your question... I'm not sure who you came in contact with that made you feel strong enough to post it. The faculty and staff at Hood are some of the most dedicated, hard working, and professional people I have ever come in contact with.
Hood is a very special place where the teachers and staff make all students feel that they are wanted and valued. I can't say that about ALL Fayette County Schools.

Hunny, not at all an attack on teachers, believe me, I know all too well the life of a teacher. It's just come to my attention that many unhappy teachers are at Hood and there have been written complaints to DeCotis over the last couple years with serious complaints about the administration. Have you driven by the parking lot lately. The parking slot labeled "Principle" always has a Mercedes parked in it. That's not the issue though. I agree with you that the faculty at Hood are some of the most special people in Fayette County, I just think you are misinformed if you think they are happy with the way the school is being run. They are definitely dedicated and hard working, but happy, I think not.

If there is a parking slot at one of our schools labeled "principle", there is a much bigger problem than morale there.
And a Mercedes...Oh, My!!!
