That’s fine but we need to vote them out in 2020…
Hey, wait a second. Let us congratulate Dr. Fishbein; he knew what he was doing. He was right.
I have been an ardent critic of Fishbein on this blog; but fair is fair. He was right to bring a lawsuit on the matter.
What I hate about people in this town is their unwillingness to admit when they were wrong and give credit to the person who was right.
One of the best things you can do for your kids is to let them see you, their parents, admit that you were wrong and the other guy was right. Hey, guess what. That kind of thinking produces scientists , and great ones too.
And ya know what, the most important lessons in success “in this competitive environment” are not and can not be taught at school. They are lessons learned at home by the example of parents. Like admitting YOU were wrong and other guy who you thought was incompetent was right. That’s how you raise a great thinker in any field. That kind of thinking, the most important kind, cannot be implemented by the BOE. It is not in their power.
and whats the advantage for the schools?
Schools are for larnin the three R’s. The fancy schools that require high property taxes, offer the frills like bands, orchestras, ski clubs, lots of after schools sports and activities. Love of learning and morals come from the home, the parents. Like in the book, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
Fishstein financed the lawsuit on the taxpayers’ dime? If that’s the case, then he:
a) should resign
b) get indicted
