As Violent Femmes sang it...

Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies.

I received a press release from my school district today that touted the biggest bunch of bull crap. The increase in test scores was pretty much solely attributed to the efforts of our Superintendent and her "efforts" to establish various alternative school programs within our district. In the first place, she did jack and in the second place, she never was a part of establishing these alternative school programs. Fabricated lies. Its amazing. At the very end after it mentioned the trustees, other district leaders, it mentioned the efforts of the front line - the freakin' teachers, hello?!??

What a load of crap! If it wasn't for the teachers, parents (not to mention students) and administration at our school, our school wouldn't exist. She wasn't even Superintendent when it was approved and this year she outright attacked us and we spent the second half of the year fighting for our school. Its part of the reason that I have a combo class next year. So, as far as I am concerned, tout all you want, but I'm going to call a big, fat, bulls@*t!

Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies.
