Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Stokes to ask school employees for opinions on superintendent

Survey - to be used in search - to ask what they want in leader

(Winston-Salem Journal) -
The Stokes County Board of Education wants to hear from school employees in recruiting the school system’s next superintendent.

School-board officials said yesterday that they plan to post a survey for employees on the school system’s Web site after a work session Sept. 10.

I'm not a school employee and i don't know who should be hired as superintendent.
But firing Melisa Jessup would be the number one employment move that the Stokes School Board could possibly make.
Maybe they should fire Melisa Jeesup and then hire a female superintendent so Melisa can't sleep her way back into her old position.

Bleh. I don't even know where to begin, so I probably won't.

I have an idea. Why don't we try putting education back in the public schools? That's never been tried before. It might just work.

Oh, never mind.

On the topic of the post, I would give real money to see some of the responses from teachers on this. They most certainly will range from the ridiculous to the sublime. It will be a stunning exercise in the illustration of abject political ignorance.

Ok, now that's funny, I don't care who you are. We can probably make a pretty good guess as to the topic of the workshop. All the teachers will be instructed on how to answer the survey, accompanied by the appropriate threats of withholding tenure and transfers to London or Sandy Ridge. Like the good lemmings they are, our fine educators will fall in line and do as they are told.

It is to laugh (with a touch of bitter irony, of course).
