Hillsborough County Has "Formalities" and "Nonissues"

Hillsborough County students to soon get a short day each month - St. Petersburg Times

I am beginning to see that is is the parent's fault.

And I can see why it is the teacher's fault that they don't like their working conditions.

From the above link, as always, there is at least one sentence that says it all.

Today, there are two comments:

"Teachers also have to approve the changes, but that's considered a formality."

"Parents were not consulted about the additional planning time. Lyons said that's because the union felt it was a "nonissue" for most people."


It seems like I have heard that when the School Board "votes" on an agenda item, it is supposed to be a "matter of formality".

It seems like the only time the District recognizes that the parents have an issue is after the fact.
