Moral Clarity

On September 17 I dedicated a Blog to this subject. Yet in recent days my local electronic and print media have bombarded me with information that troubles me greatly.

Here in Bibb County I recently read where our Schools have reverted to "Social Promotions." What a shame. It may feel good now to get a promotion, but are really serving our future citizens well by passing them when they did not do well on the required test. If I read correctly, the waiver process is to be used in exceptional cases only. Yet it was applied here in Bibb County with broadside volleys. Admittedly I do not know everything about this sad situation but it certainly does not bode well for their employment opportunities of these students. Most employers require some type of test if they higher for high paying jobs which our local elected officials often state that we need to insure the future of Middle Georgia. Again, What A Shame, and this dark dirty secret was cloaked in the records and our Local School Board and in some cases the Administration was not even aware. It this power gone astray? I think so.

Then, going down the road a bit, I read and also hear, as well as view on the electronic media all the concern when a School Principal appeared to to the right thing and the duly elected officials are reported as not giving the Principal the support that every Leader needs. Again, it sounds if things are going astray!! Again, What A Shame!!! Is this the way we want to impress the standards of our society upon our future citizens and future adults.

Going back to the Blog title - Moral Clarity! We need a big dose if we are going to remain on track to retain our position as a Leader in the Free World. If you have not alreay done so, get a copy of the recent Best Seller, "The World is Flat." According to the author of that book we have limited time to get our act together here in the United States of America.

Thank You!
