Thanks so much for sharing your thought...Grammy....<br />Thanks so much for sharing your thought on the situation, but my concern is;schools such as Longfellow School take "Leave No Child Behind" seriously, they will pass your child on even if he or she is doing horribly, no consideration for the child,no suggestions such as, could you use some help with ideas for your child? The Lorain City Schools are even telling parents they are short on books and supplies? I say whaaaaat? what is that about? But yes the question still remains, Who is the best candidate for Principal? who is the best candidate for Assistant Principal? Who in the world picks these people???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611762317308862083.post-15189240366711901332010-03-27T16:13:29.905-04:002010-03-27T16:13:29.905-04:00I believe the original poster is literally asking ...I believe the original poster is literally asking what regulations govern the selection of specific individuals to be school administrators. Any educators out there have the answer -- state law or regulations, or criteria established by the local school boards or just the individual choice of superintendents? What governs the selection of teachers, principals, assistant principals and other administrators?Tom Skoch, Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16431687695332914788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611762317308862083.post-79519517542254990102010-03-27T08:55:50.991-04:002010-03-27T08:55:50.991-04:00But I must ask again, is there a SPECIFIC instance...But I must ask again, is there a SPECIFIC instance you and/or the OP is talking about?

The question refers to what makes a supervisor/superintendent a good/great supervisor/superintendent. The implication is that "book" education does not a qualified person make. What background gives the person in charge to ability/right to pass judgement? At the state level, we have people making decisions about curriculum that are so removed from the "education" process its laughable. Contact with students, parents and community leads to better interaction and results in the education process. Someone sitting in their "ivory tower" office in Columbus making the in the trenches decisions about "education" really are out of touch with the day to day process of education. Education is vital, yet at the upper levels have they lost touch with the reality faced in the classroom by teachers trying to teach, education and overcome the outside influences while still achieving the goals set by people sitting somewhere else and not dealing with the reality.Grammynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611762317308862083.post-78420011799548458712010-03-25T10:38:24.588-04:002010-03-25T10:38:24.588-04:00I'm loving how this blog gets updated "mo...I'm loving how this blog gets updated "more timely".<br /><br />I take credit for the suggestion (and I designed Windows 7 too). :)Ex-Lorainitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611762317308862083.post-9062274407734358562010-03-25T10:00:31.761-04:002010-03-25T10:00:31.761-04:00I don't have an answer, but I have a question....I don't have an answer, but I have a question.<br /><br />What point is the letter writing trying to make?<br /><br />Is it really a question or is it a statement?<br /><br />Does this "concerned parent" have something specific to share with us?<br /><br />Hmmm...Ex-Lorainitenoreply@blogger.com
