Parking lot blues

Maybe it is the bad weather, but doesn't it feel as if the parking lot traffic has not gotten any better, even with less students?

What is funny is that Jacono never quite realized how her "improvements" really screwed the situation up. Even little things like changing the start time (in a town with lots of state employees who use the same streets), or compressing what used to be a staggered start time for the little ones have major impacts on the traffic situation. Of course, to her the problem was the "parking lot moms" who hung out for a few minutes after their kids were dropped off. She has effectively killed that form of information exchange (congrats on that, Denise!), but strangely, the idea that less people rushing to get out at the same time never occured to her as a good thing.

Au contraire, my friend. You don't think declining numbers are low? Why not comment on that?

As for the parking...sure, it is an old problem, but isn't it funny that it was one of the first "problems" she tried to address?

As for "old news"...I've heard around that some people are new to the board, and haven't gone through all the old messages. Not everybody is a long time reader of the blog, as you must be.

Either they don't know how, or figure it is "old", so I may well recycle some old issues, because they are still there...and not been fixed.

I don't know what other people's gripes are, but it's about how she treats others (not just one person). It is never a good management tool to be controlling, paranoid, or cruel.

Mrs. Jacono made a pretty impressive call last Wednesday. When area school districts closed due to the snow, Mrs. Jacono opted for the two hour delay. Nice job Mrs. J...

Woo Hoo! She can do some things right, but it doesn't make up for all the crap she gives out to people.

Did you ever hear the phrase "damming with faint praise"?
