Rhode Island High School Fires Everyone
Thursday, February 25th, 2010All teachers, principals fired at poor-performing R.I. high school.
A Rhode Island school board has voted to clean house at Central Falls High School by firing the entire staff of 93, including all teachers, guidance counselors, p.e. instructors and the principal.
Education is one topic that gets me fired up, and this one takes the cake recently. And honestly, I’ll be shocked if this improves anything and would venture to guess that things will actually get worse.
Some things to think about:
- What about the parents/guardians? I have seen first hand that some kids just don’t care about school if they don’t have a good at home support system in place.
- What about the kids? While not ideal, maybe the kids are indeed below “average”. Not everyone can be in the top of the class.
- What about the government? I don’t even have the time to properly touch that one other than to say they clearly don’t think things through a lot of the time.
- What teachers looking for a job would be eager to jump on board after they just threw everyone else under the bus? Given the economy I’m sure they’ll find teachers, but I can’t imagine that they’ll have the school or the kids in mind for more than a stepping stone onto a better job.
That said, yes, it could be the teachers too, but I can’t believe that it’s all of them. This just seems totally irresponsible to me.
