John Strark, just proved my point. He, like the mayor and Mr. Howell, just assume it is necessary to consolidate the high schools and that it should have been done a long time ago. Why? How would it improve the educational and social environment of the students to consolidate already large high schools? It wouldn't and there is no data to suggest otherwise. Conservative/Tea Party arguments that governmental agencies should be run like a business are baseless. The goal of a school is to educate and socialize students, not to make a profit or run it at the lowest possible cost without regard for educational outcomes. We are not a poor community but we will become one if our school system remains unstable due to the constant threat of consolidations and the disruption caused by actual consolidations. Our City and its students deserve better.
