The Ticket to Chang_ Strikes Again!!!!

As I mentioned yesterday, I received the copy of the sheets that were distributed to the teachers. I read all of the answers. " The Ticket To Chang_" consisting of, Walter Harpster ( former teachers union member), Kristen Sharp(home schools her kids), Jim Hurlbert ( Who??) and Travis Parks (Can't vote without knowing what Kirk Rager is doing), all had basically the same answers.

It has been common knowledge that the teachers have had a love hate relationship with their former friend, Mr. Harpster. According to my source, many prominent union members are rallying against him.

They ( The Ticket To Chang_) all hit on the same tone. Why are you running, was the question, EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE TICKET TO CHANG_ said,"Change Administration." That is the best reason you could come up? I am running for political office because they aren't good? What is this, the third grade? Could we get someone to educate these 4? Allow me to let you 4 in on a little secret. You technically, are part of the administration!!!!! TWO OF YOU ARE ON THE BOARD!!!! YOU ARE RUNNING AGAINST YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!From where I sit tonight, your right we need a change, we need to get keep you 4 off the board.

They were all singing the same song when it comes to the new school. " We didn't want it, but now that were building it, buy the best stuff." You can't be a selective conservative. If your a conservative, you conserve on all issues. If you didn't want to spend the money in the beginning, don't spend the money now. Own the issue. Own your argument. Be against it the whole way. Have some backbone, if you could find it. People may develop at least a little respect for you, and your ticket.

Thanks to my source for giving me these sheets!

The Blogger Has Gone Silent...

Blogger Blogger where have you gone..... I am still here my faithful readers.

Why haven't you written anything? Nothing to write. I have seen in the open line some of the things I have reported have gotten picked up. I think it is interesting, people say no one reads this blog, well it looks like someone does...

On average, I get about 1,700 views a day. Of these views, 90% are in Pennsylvania. Of the 1,700 views, on average 300 are unique views, meaning they are viewing for the first time. 70% of viewers to this blog stay on for longer than a half hour.

I got an interesting sheet from a teacher friend of mine. Looks like they are pointing the membership of the local union towards the four members of the CHANG ticket. I haven't gotten the sheet from her yet but I expect to get it tomorrow and share some of my thoughts with you. Apparently the union interviewed all but one of the candidates and gave a breakdown of the interviews to the members. I am going to get this information and see what these candidates had to say to the union.

Any way, the BLOGGER IS ALIVE AND WELL....

Can't Make This Stuff Up....

Honestly, the police board was great to cover. These school board characters, they really are something else.


What would you say if I told you that there is a person who is running for school board that has zero faith in the Mifflin County Education system?

Call me crazy but I like my leaders to hold an optimistic view. I really don't want them to have a personal agenda or look for something to complain about. I don't want them running for the board so they can support more wild crazy witch hunts. I don't want them to have zero faith in our educational system.


What would I tell you if their was a person that was running for the school board that does not send their child to a public school?
Mrs. Sharp is currently seeking election to the Mifflin County School Board. She has a child that is school age. That child does not attend public school. This to me is a double standard. Not only that, she is running for the board with a ticket of men that promise to save Union Elementary. She apparently feels that she would do a better job educating her child than the folks at Union. That is fine, it is her decision to home school. But, why save the Union then? What is the need to save a school that she apparently has NO faith in? Maybe she could start saving the school by sending her child there.

In an article published in the Lewistown Sentinel she was quoted as saying, "It is my desire to bridge the gap between the school administration and the community in a more effective manner," What gap exists? How would you know of this gap considering your child doesn't attend a public school? Maybe you could help this gap by sending your child to school! Then get yourself involved with the Home and School Association and begin work from there. That seems to me to be a logical option. Unless, you had a hidden agenda. This would then be something to cover yourself with.

She further says, "The early years are the foundation of education." If she really feels this, why not send her child to the public school? Why not send them to the school that your group of people you are running with feel is the best school in the district?

I like my leaders to have integrity. I like my leaders to be free of hidden agendas. I like my leaders to send their children to public school.

Here is the bottom line. IF YOUR RUNNING FOR SCHOOL BOARD. YOUR KIDS SHOULD ATTEND PUBLIC SCHOOL. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
