A-Rod has never been successful in any school system he has worked in. When he got here, with no good 'ol boy network to support him, (he was of course trying to hire his criminal friends from FL into important positions here in OUR schools,) he found out that people actually go to work every day and work 10-12 hours minimum. He realized early on he didn't have what it takes at all to work in a real school system where the administrators don't show up at 11am, go out to lunch at 1pm, then go home to pack because they are going to leave for a week to go <i>home</i> and rest in sunny FL.<br /><br /><br />Ponzi, when you "LOL" it doesn't sound like a happy laugh.

The student population is decreasing faster than the reduction of kids in Amherst which means more and more parents are choosing to go choice out, using charter, home school, or private school. The low income and minority students we claim to help continue to fail as much if not more than before. How is Maria doing better?? Higher cost, lower success, and a population that is showing support by leaving he schools behind.
