We've had four roundtable discussions with candidates at SVES, and last night for the most important discussion with all the Board Candidates, we had less than ten people show up, even though it was in the newspaper several times and distributed via email to all ACT members. Two of the four officers, Carmen Ada and Pastor Gagaring, didn't make it to one of these discussions, and apparently those two offer no assistance to ACT whatsoever. The teacher's representative to the board of education didn't attend any of the roundtable discussions, either.
At the same time, Betty Miller has been breaking her chops trying to get something done with ACT. I don't see her getting any support from teachers or her officers. As Betty's friend, I must advise her to put her energy into her own family and her own school because simply put, the mass of teachers here isn't worth her time, but Betty is more generous than me so she probably will continue working without any help. Betty didn't say anything to me about this, and these aren't her thoughts. I just wanted the officers to know that people notice you ran and you aren't doing anything at all.

I heart you Jeff! Your kind words of support are much appreciated. ; - )
I haven't given up yet...PSS is full of hardworking teachers with too many irons in the fire. As long as we know the ACT membership supports our attempts, we'll keep plugging away at taking baby steps toward positive change within our educational system. If we veer off course, I trust the membership will let us know.
I know, I'm still "Little merry sunshine" what can I say?!
Betty,
Keep up the great work! Don't let naw-sayers disuade you from your work.

No one is nay saying Betty -- it is the teachers who provide no support to Betty. I'm tired of seeing her being taken advantage of.
Didn't get to see the comment before it was deleted by the author. Anything I should know?
Okay, I'm lost. What the heck does Porkey's have to do with throwing in the towel on ACT?
Nothing. Some whacko is spamming the blogs.
