| A New Era in OCSD |
 Anonymous writes "Today represents a new era in Oswego as Francis Hoefer will be sworn in to take his seat on the school board this evening. A man who has been elected on three different occasions and has received more than 5,000 votes of confidence from the taxpaying public this decade. Fran fought tooth and nail for us for four years on the school board and two years on the county legislature and now we look forward to this three year term. Fran is a motivator and Fran has the balls to speak up. An apathetic school board will suddenly be resuscitated with the positive energy that only Fran himself can bring and ever has brought to the school district. We have had a few school school board members in the past and present who have had good intentions but they have all lacked the ability to say "no" to OCTA, "no" to greed, and "no" to all other special interests. Most school board members, on the other hand, actually have bad intentions. This school district has never been an equal partnership between the children, the taxpayers and the employees. The children have been deprived of a quality education by a competent teaching staff, the taxpayers have had their money stolen from them, but the district administration and teaching staff has never once suffered. They have always received more and more and Fran Hoefer was the only board member in school district history to oppose this.
We have watched every aspect of this school district die a slow and painful death between June 29, 2004 and now. Board members and superintendents have thrown our money at the dying district, but have only further accelerated the downward spiral. On May 19, 2009, we as voters made the choice put all of this to an end and revive this school district in a fiscally responsible fashion for the sake of our children. Today, a new era begins, and is day one of trying to rebuild this miserable school system and put some life back into it. Once again, we have a board member with the gonads to do it. Go get 'em Fran. Three consecutive first place finishes in board elections ain't for nothing."

| Re: Patronage, Loyalty and A Dying Community |
Anonymous writes ""Think which county, city offices are taking a toll on development in the area based on hiring unqualified people in extemely important positions?"
Excellent post, has held this town down for years. Hiring based on politicals and nepotism not qualifications. The largest pitfall is our community development and economic development agencies, we need jobs for our kids. Giving them a chance and an opportunity for employment in their hometown. Not picking on one in particular here, all have room for improvement. Not to mention we could use someone to run the damn city. I have always believed in our form of government, Mayor Council. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see we are moving backwards not forward. We need someone to run the ship, give the orders and bodies in place to create a plan of action in their fields of expertise, might be best to start searching for some experts here. Also, it's dire to find someone in the next Mayoral election who has the time, energy and backbone to fill the seat take the bull by the horns. Its not about us older folks anymore its about the kids and the future of this city. A lots changed over the last 50 years and it hasnt' been for the better. Time to start thinking of the kids.

| To Our School Board |
Anonymous writes "My opinion on Teacher Tenure is it should be at the forefront after we get our sorry financial situation in order.
Tenure was created to keep teachers safe from fire due to personal beliefs and conflicts with administrators, and when teachers would teach unpopular opinions (Why would teachers be teaching their opinions???) More and more, we hear of teachers who are not conducting themselves in a professional manner (or even in legal manners) that, because of tenure, need to go through a long process to be fired.
In New York City, there was a teacher who had a sexual relationship with his then-sixteen year old female student (even emailed her from his school email address) and it took six years to fire him! During those six years, the New York taxpayers were still paying him his salary for sitting in a building owned by the school district for eight hours watching TV and reading the newspaper... for having a sexual relationship with a STUDENT! But tenure also protects those teachers who just don't care anymore. They fill a seat, stand up in front, and (like the students) stare at the clock, wait for the bell to go home and live for summer break.
Studies have shown, many teachers are far more willing to get to know and invest in `good kids,' `talented kids,' or `smart kids' than in those they do not fell contribute to their own agenda. With these teachers, [teens] recognize quickly that it is up to them to decide whether they want to play that game. ... For many teachers, the litmus test of a `good' young person is how much respect the student shows the teachers."When your student comes to you and says, "My teacher hates me," don't dismiss it-it may be true... just like some of your teachers didn't like YOU. But that doesn't mean that the teacher is bad. This is exactly what Tenure came to save. But those teachers who have a relationship with a student...that is not what Tenure was created for. When you hear of something like this happening in our community, we-the tax payers, who are paying for this jerk to sit at home-should rise up and demand a quick and no-holds-barred firing of the teacher. Something to look into ASAP. Teachers rewarded for hiring date rather than teaching performance, makes no sense.

| Hat's Off! |
 Anonymous writes "Our County Legislators are dropping out of the Legislative race like flies, I find it a bit interesting. Could these be people of integrity? Gracefully bowing out and from situations they witnessed as less than desireable and upright? Gotta respect them and thank them for their time spent serving. If they plan on re-running in the future, they'll stand more of a chance to get in clean. Hat's off to you."

| Advertising Vs Building Long Term Relationships |
 Anonymous writes "I often say, if you have a finite budget for marketing, you should spend less on advertising and invest it in your customers in some form of customer appreciation. You will get a better return for your money when you invest in your existing customers and cherish your new customers.
No disrespect to the media, they have a role to play. But it costs a lot more to earn a new customer than to keep an existing one. Regular, happy, repeat customers are your bread and butter. The lifetime value of your regulars can be estimated, and your cash flow projected. Think of it as a symbiotic relationship, where you each depend on the other. They come back because they trust you. And their trust will bring more in referrals, word of mouth, new customers.

| To the student and the dropout |
Anonymous writes "Just because adults come on here and voice their opinions on the management of the school system doesn't give you the excuse of not doing well in school or disrespecting those who are trying to impart some knowledge into your heads. Of course your ideas are welcome too. However, it is your job at this time in life to get as much as you can out of anyone who is trying to prepare you for a decent life. And yes, dropping out should be looked down on just as teen pregnancy should. Anyone with half a brain would realize that these things don't make your future one bit easier. How smart is that?
Don't expect anything in life to be handed to you. Need addl help with learning? Ask for it, or try working a little harder to understand it yourself. That's how things work. Grade school is free to students courtesy of your parents. Take advantage of every opportunity that exists at this age as it won't be free later on. Don't be disruptive and expect teachers to then have the time or energy to get through to you. How well you do in school can propel you to get outside any cir*****stances you've been born into and is in fact an indication of your own personal talents and work ethic. It's up to you."
