Ever attend a faculty meeting in a CPS School? 50 to 100 empty headed morons, depending on who shows up on time,all knowing their ideas, wants an needs outweigh anyone else’s. The gathering drones on until someone tries to sneak out and accidentally spills the coffee of a “fellow professional”.
Make a decision and tell the flock what to do!
