You're replies are so frustrating. It's like you don't read the thread or you forget what's already been stated in the thread and your replies are made in a complete vacuum. I specifically said earlier in this thread that I wished he would put the same amount of effort in either running for school board or showing up at school board meetings and speaking up as he has in the breakaway effort. If he did that, he seems to have the dynamic personality which might provoke other people to get involved in the system and make the entire school system better. He is the type of person who can be a difference maker and I admire that. If you continue to reply with the same type of obtuse statements as above, I'm just going to assume you only intend to argue for argument sake and I will ignore your posts. If I don't reply to one of your future posts, don't assume I didn't read it. Just assume I'm ignoring it.

It only frustrates you because you keep trying to frame the debate to suit your own agenda.

Serving on the school board or even going to speak out a School Board meeting is not a prerequisite to work at a school, to volunteer at a school, or to be a leader in the education community. Many serve within the school system who couldn't find the School Board office if they had to.

Maybe you once ran or even served on the school board. I haven't, but that doesn't take away my right to speak out on school issues and I suspect Norman Browning might feel the same way.

Browning's efforts are appreciated by me, and I don't care if he ever runs for the School Board or if he ever goes to a School Board meeting. It doesn't matter.
