Posted on December 18, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Following up from yesterday’s article where we found out Keith Sutton thinks he’s the same as Eric Garner somehow, it was pointed out to me that the public comments section was choreographed by the Wake NCAE.

At Wake School Board Meeting, Sutton Compares Himself To Eric Garner (Video)

Posted on December 17, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Never a shortage of drama with the Wake County School Board.

At the most recent meeting, board member Keith Sutton wore a t-shirt that said “#BlackLivesMatter” on it and launched into a long speech about how he was almost detained once at a past school board meeting so he knows what people like Eric Garner have gone through or something. No, not kidding.

Posted on November 28, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Two blips for the radar for parents and taxpayers in Wake County this week.

Pearson’s Powerschool Redefines Epic Fail In NC

Posted on November 11, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Without argument, Pearson’s Powerschool has been riddled with issues, bugs and complaints. A year later, I am still weeding through the four giant boxes of documents NC DPI sent me on Powerschool after I put in a Freedom of Information Act request.

In my weeding through these documents so far, I’ve got a pile probably 100 pages worth of issues and complaints from education officials, charter schools, superintendents and more. Mind you, I still have one more box to get through.

I don’t have a lot of free time, but this little project just got moved up on the priority scale for me after I had a conversation with my child’s teacher where I learned something rather horrifying things about Powerschool.

Little warning here – you are entering a snark heavy zone.
