It was attributed to a certain less-civiized element in the respective student bodies feeling *Disrespected*....BigDonOnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-7110544820137287182013-09-12T08:22:50.083-05:002013-09-12T08:22:50.083-05:00"The facilities were upgraded, but the qualit..."The facilities were upgraded, but the quality of the teachers and administration went completely and totally to seed,"<br /><br /><br /><br />Sounds like My People all right. We're currently laying off teachers here while spending $100M on brand new facilities. This is in a small rural district that has declining enrollment. We're bored of the old facilities, so those will be sold off to developers at sweetheart prices.<br /><br /><br />It's for teh children.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-60079396322727853472013-09-12T07:54:42.769-05:002013-09-12T07:54:42.769-05:00Dependable as clockwork. The impact of integration...Dependable as clockwork. The impact of integration was visible almost immediately<br /> at the school. When whites arrived, the facilities were upgraded, said a<br /> former chairman of the school board, Arthur Griffin. A gravel parking <br />lot was paved, and the football stadium and the gymnasium were <br />renovated. <br /><br />The facilities were upgraded, but the quality of the teachers and administration went completely and totally to seed, and has never been recovered in the intervening 40 years. Prior to forced busing, many of the formerly segregated black urban schools were centers of community pride and highly competitive excellence, notwithstanding the gerrymandering of resources, funds, facilities.CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
