Om Well, it is doing better. Evidently he got kicked upstairs the disconnect got so bad. He got removed by sending him out to lecture and present about consciousness-based education/ MSAE. & as a traveling consultant/expert to MSAE schools starting elsewhere. That allowed the school here to bring in real educators in his place to run the school. Was in near collapse but is going better now. But not well. The disconnect problem still exists in the few non-professional ideologue types leftover in the school. President office types, sort of like Bush administration appointees put in to jobs because of their party loyalty more than ability or real or real credentialed professionalism. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "ShempMcGurk" <shempmcgurk@> wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, therewillbelight@ <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > Hey all--this is my first time posting after lots of lurking.
