It’s frying your brain!

Okay. Let’s get to the bottom of this.

As usual, sic(k) willie is full of prune pits and tripe. If there was anything to his weak knee’d suggestion of something wrong we would have seen an ethics complaint or a law suit. But no, nothing.

All we see is willie stirring up hi shit count.

(Sorry, “…his hit count.”)

Nothing illegal. Nothing unethical. Nothing but willie cr@p.

If there is anything at all worth attention in this pathetic string it’s the demand that someone come up with facts about how much RJ is getting paid with taxpayer dollars – and what are the taxpayers getting for it?

The ability to spin and evade, while making counter-accusations and grabbing a bunch of children to use as credibility shields, is the hallmark of an accomplish BS arteest.

If he’s not a political operative, then perhaps he is willing to say that he has not worked for any political candidate during his course of employment, does not provide any political counsel for his current employer, and will promise that he will not work for any while employed in his current position?

That’s probably too much to ask, but he’s welcome to try to surprise me.

Let’s be clear. Neither side really cares about the average guy and his kids in school. It is all about being paid well to espouse an opinion that the guy writing the checks wants. It is couched in different language on each side, but the motivation is the same. It is all about getting the people’s money for the guy who paid the consultant to go get it.

Blame my loathing on fooling the people, from either side, on my loathing of magicians. For, that is all I see consultants on the right or left as, just masters of illusion to fool people. At least magicians claim to only entertain the people with their tricks to fool them. You guys offer another illusion in that you try to get people to think you really care about what happens to them.

When a group or consultant steps up and does not take one penny of out of state money to influence public opinion, then I will believe that they are sincere. Until then, Will, you are the pot calling Stokes, the kettle, black. You both are just playing the people and getting paid well for it.

Way to go Kay. You really are getting the education dollars!

If you want to help public education in this state, I’d suggest you give up your lucrative consulting career and go to work as a full-time employee for Rex OR be a volunteer for education or your political/non-profit cause like the rest of us do. It is really unbecoming to see you and all these other “consultants” enjoying huge contracts on our dime (actually many dimes) yet still get “holier than thou” when questioned about it.

And you could brag about ditching the PACT test if the state were going to MAP testing or something else standardized and cost-effecient. Instead, thanks to you and your candidate, the same company with the same consultant (Tompkins) gets the chance to develop yet another overly-expensive boondoggle of a test that only they can administer…and all because we have such “high standards” in SC that we can’t use the same tests other states do.

It should be criminal for the head of our school system to spend $360K of our funds on consultants in a year – much less a month. It provides further proof that we need to restructure government to eliminate all this duplication so we have one elected official responsible for everythign rather than another 8 constitutional officers doling out political patronage and trying to get “their” message out through consultants like you they hire with our money.

I agree with James and Fashizzle above…let’s dismantle the bureacracy and consultants who are there to constantly whine for more money and instead use our very substantial K-12 funds to hire more teachers to teach.

How about instead of sleek new laptops (these kids already know how to download 50 Cent) grab some money for chalkboards and chalk and have the students in those “disadvantaged” districts ‘rite and ‘rithmatic till their clothes are covered in chalk dust??

Furthermore, thank you for acknowledging your role in dismantling the PACT test – in favor of one not yet created – the perfect scheme for throwing money at even more educrat consultants.

Earth to educrat: it doesn’t take a new test to understand the education being provided in those “disadvantaged” districts SUCKS. Since 90% of education dollars are salaries guess what that means? The elephant in the room: the Superintendents/Principals/teachers in those districts are failures.

Here’s a novel idea – rather than waste money on your consultancy and new test consultancy and new laptops – direct that money to NEW TEACHERS (granted, this is a hard concept for morons in Columbia to follow) in those disadvantaged schools.

And another hard concept – if the teacher’s results for the year are ascertained to be substandard as evidenced by their student’s substandard test score – FIRE those teachers until you get some that know how to teach.
