<p>

In the first serious move to overhaul control of the Los Angeles public schools, state Sen. Gloria Romero introduced a bill Friday that would empower the city’s mayor to appoint members to an expanded Board of Education. </p>

<p>…</p>

<p>And, after his election last month, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa called for the power to make board appointments.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Pray tell me this isn’t an educational dictatorship in the works?</p>

<p>But, of course. Don’t you know that politicians think they can do better with the schools than the professionals? when I think how many laws, court rulings and manipulation have caused problems in the schools - Yuck! I think that any politician who wants to pass an education bill should be required to teach for a month, before they can say a thing!!!</p>

<p>Our School Board and Our School Adminstrator are at odds alot</p>

<p>And our schools were have actually been rated higher than the public perception, but because they are always at odds, its easy for the warring sides to point out all the negatives, without showing the positives…</p>

<p>It is loads of fun</p>
