A fine educator facing termination at the hands of a school board concerned only with themselves has been handed his fate. A teacher who wouldn’t hesitate to tell you the blunt truth of your mistakes in order to guide you in the right direction has been terminated. A man with more knowledge and experience of higher mathematics than most college math professors has been fired by a group of people worried about maintaining the status quo.

Its no secret that our fair city’s education system is in desperate need of attention. Teachers are over saturated with students and crammed into tiny class rooms. Some teachers don’t even have a classroom, they “float” from room to room as they become available throughout the day. Teachers like Mr.Menzel are given a majority of students who have previously failed other math classes, simply because of his “status” within the high school monarchy. He is then expected to give these students a “free ride” through his class. Free rides help the students amount to nothing in the real world because the students come to expect free rides where ever they go in the future.

I’ve noticed something about Del Rio that tells me a lot about the current goals of our town.
Look around…what do you see? Fast food, bars, and loan shacks.  Thats the future of our fine city!
