It's time for Dr. Gordon Pace and Dr. Sam Taylor at Ozark High School to have their salaries cut signficantly at Ozark High School. Dr. Pace is the superintendent and Dr. Taylor is the principle at the school. There are two words that justify this need for their salaries to be cut--BETTER EDUCATION.
Of course how is Dr. Pace and Dr. Taylor selling the Ozark community selling better education to the people of Ozark? Through the International Baccalaureate!
If they truly believe the IB, then they should follow the example of the IB clearly stated at its Texas meeting that Americans should feel guilty for their wealth. They should feel guilty for wearing nicer clothes. They should feel guilty for buying bigger houses. They should feel guilty for HIGHER INCOMES. That's right Dr. Pace and Dr. Taylor, if you truly buy into this American guilt the IB teaches, which one must assume as you continue to push IB, then you shouldn't even wait for Chuck Fugate and the members of the Ozark School Board to cut your salaries. You should just volunteer to have your salary equal the income of an Afghani out in the desert, because as posted on the IB Web site, this is clearly part of the better education agenda of the International Baccalaureate, and you wouldn't want to let Ozark students down by showing any hypocrisy in the quest for better education would you?
In case you missed the article that appeared on the IB Web site, let me post it so the people of Ozark can see the American guilt and the call for the redistribution of wealth that were on display at the IB Conference of the Americas in Texas this weekend.
“The mindset of scarcity is so pervasive“
BY LAURA JOYCE | PUBLISHED: JULY 22, 2011
Aruna Kharod reports back after attending Khaled Hosseini’s plenary session on the second day of the conference.
“In America, we are so used to abundance in everyday life—everything, from food to daily necessities is there at our fingertips. So why do we constantly feel as if something in our lives is lacking? Perhaps it is because “the mindset of scarcity is so pervasive”, as Khaled Hosseini suggests.
We are raised in a society that constantly strives for superlatives—the most expensive clothes, the biggest house, the highest income. This kind of focus, in my opinion, is shallow because we can easily forget that there are others in the world who have so much less than we do, and yet are satisfied with their lives.
The Khaled Hosseini Foundation aims to enlighten and empower students to act on their sentiment and reach out. Through a UN partnership, the foundation provides Afghani refugees with materials and knowledge to build a small shelter. Students can help, too—a $1500 donation can buy the necessary materials.
Hosseini’s observations were eye-opening for me and I am anxious to spread the message and act on the sentiment of goodwill by doing what I can; I want to spread the knowledge through my school this coming year.”
Mr. Fugate, president of the Ozark School Board, I will expect you start writing the checks using your own wealth to see to it these Afghan people are taken care of. Get the check book out Mr. Fugate, because this is all part of better education--American guilt and the redistribution of wealth. I will expect photo copies of the check in the next Ozark Schools newsletter just to prove you are doing your part for better education through the IB.
By the way, should I call a realtor for your convenience so you can move into a shack before the new school year starts?
