Guest Observer Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 ...which has been on the site for the longest time. Here is the statement: "The mission of the Kearny School District, a diverse metropolitan "hometown" working together as a unified community, is to provide unlimited opportunities that maximize everyone's potential to be a life-long learner and a contributing member of society." First, why is the statement in quotation marks when there is no source book cited? Second, If the Board wants to keep the Mission Statement in double quotation marks, at least put hometown in single quotation marks so that it looks like this: 'hometown.' No double quotation-marked words inside a double quotation-marked sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks for the English lesson. No, I really mean it! Also, the statement is rather long and rambling; don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Observer Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 , a diverse metropolitan "hometown" working together as a unified community, Remove this phrase entirely. It's unwieldy and disjointed. In fact, since it's one of the first items visitors to the website read, my suggestion would be to rewrite the entire statement to reflect that the District is in the 21st century. The statement should make reference to the first-rate teaching staff, the "wow" technology, and the many improvements to the building itself (should they ever get completed). As it stands now, the statement looks like it was written at a time when Evelyn Johnson was the "head of the English Department" and the kids were reading from the McGuffey Readers.

Guest Guest Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 The word, diverse, used back in the day? I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" A community full of nepotism, headed up by Cinderella, in her 5 million dollar Midland Avenue Castle, guiding 9 misfits, trying to unify their heads to form 1 brain."

Guest Guest Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Reads of anger and insults Kearny Residents that are trying to make Kearny a better place to live and learn. Write something constructive instead of trashing people you ass**** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
