Ed, attention, Mrs. Morrison at Trenton Community Charter School. How dare you allow a member of the tech staff to stand up at the board meeting and say this school is a zoo! It’s OK to you that he said you are teaching a bunch of animals? The problems at TCCS begin with the administration next door, and trickle down to your so-called curriculum director who has allocated millions of dollars to pay consultants to come in and do for a lot of money something the dedicated staff would do for free! You say you want change and that we’re supposed to be a positive community, but instead of putting everything in the open you use sly techniques like giving parents letters to attend a board meeting the day of the meeting only minutes before so they aren’t able to come, and moving the board meeting to a different building so the staff is late and appear like they don’t care. Stop with your political agenda and start giving a damn about the school.

Charter Fright

Always gotta be careful with the “zoo” comment. In normal life it’s common to refer to any out-of-control situation as a “zoo,” but if you say it about a school someone will immediately accuse you of thinking of the children as animals.—Ed. Note
