The St. Louis Public School System, Private School System, Charter School System, and Religious School System is already jacked up, and it was jacked up before Veronica O’Brien or anybody else that recently took over in any school district-large or small.

The Press Conference to prevent a State takeover was a ridiculous joke! All schools today need a takeover by the good ole man called a “belt whipping!”

This has been a long day coming, and it didn’t start yesterday. Visit the schools on any given day and talk to the children, and ask them what educational information they have learned without a book in front of them. This action will help the average citizen understand the severity of the problem that all schools face in this technology advanced society.

The teachers in some cases, teaching methods, teaching equipment, educational topics, food and preparation, bathrooms facilities, building structures, and the whole educational system are in many cases antiquated. This calls for revolutionary leaders with vision, and you will not find this on the School Board or in Jefferson City!

Large groups of parents don’t come to the schools anymore to check on their children and they fight the decent teachers that try to discuss proper educational improvement timetable’s for their own children within a teacher limiting system.

Donna Jones was filmed by this website saying there was too much politics in the St. Louis Public Schools while she was standing around a group of politicians, not to mention that she herself is elected and is a politician. What a hypocritical example that statement was of too much politics in the St. Louis Public Schools, coming from a school board member that is surrounded by politicians!

Then all the politicians talked about all the poverty in the St. Louis community that the parents and children face. Well who should these parents and children look to for the creation of jobs and opportunities. Well, let’s see-maybe the same politicians at that press conference complaining about a lack of jobs and opportunities leading to poverty and poor educational performance! What another hypocritical example of proper political leadership, when you are a politician complaining about the lack of jobs and opportunities in your own community that you lead!

Even if Bill Purdy says that the St. Louis Public Schools are close to reaching the accreditation points, visit the schools and it will be clear that the children are not prepared for the future. Bill Purdy needs to go sit down before he throws rocks at anybody else, because it was his old ideas that formed the basis of the demise of the St. Louis Public Schools when he was formerly on the School Board. He is very old, his ideas are very old, he is very greedy, he gets his old friends very good jobs in the SLPS, Mr. Purdy please go sit down before your chair gets too old to sit in!!! Thanks for your service.

However, it is not just the St. Louis Public Schools, it is the school systems in general. Charter schools are jacked up, private schools are jacked up, public schools are jacked up, religious schools are jacked up, and parenting skills today are jacked up. The schools may produce educated students, but if you watch many of them interact in society it will lead you to believe they are educated fools!

Our society is about the worst it has ever been, and the socio-economic gap is getting wider by the minute!

The Pastors, Priest, Ministers, and other spiritual leaders of large religious followings of believers need to start knocking doors and visiting homes in all neighborhoods and teaching morality. These leaders need to start visiting different venues and watching their religious followers family outside of their place of worship, especially in the school system. This would be a good start!

The preacher that spoke at that press conference stated that some people were absent from the press conference that needed to be there and he was right on target!

A large group of parents/children speaking about what would make the educational system better were absent from the press conference and that is the group that needs to be motivated to speak up about the state of education or it will never change! If the people elected to the School Board were really capable of expressing the thoughts of their neighborhood school community members and creating change, then our school system would be better!

We can kick Veronica O’Brien, Archibald, Jackson, Fowler, Jones, Purdy, and Downs in the butt, but we better start kicking our old way of thinking about education in the butt first!

There are problems in all schools now with the children, stop acting like you are blind!!!!!!!!
