I'm just venting. I went to our school board meeting the other night.
I got so mad at the superintendent. The audience was made up of parents that are mad that the district is trying to close our school. A parent got up and made some valid points, after which the audience stood up and clapped.
The superintendent then proceeded to tell us "I demand respect." He sounded just like a teacher talking down to his students.
It's New York - the only island-based city in the group ...
People can't "demand" respect. They have to earn it.
Does this guy know who pays his salary?
