I agree that Mr. Hoefer's demeanor leaves a great deal to be desired. What troubles me most, from both sides, is the polarization of views. We will continue to fail as a community if we do not try to have a dialogue that is open to opposing views. There are good teachers and bad teachers. There are intelligent board members and members that try to do their best.
Every issue needs to be handled individually while keeping an eye on the big picture.
The savings on paper is the singular issue. If we put the kids behind there is a potential for lower self-esteem and higher delinquency for their generation. NIMO was paying the freight. Let's be honest about this. We are all responsible.
