Is it a conflict of interest for a Pastor to and congregation member to serve so closly within the district? Probably not as everyone knows everyone in Havre which makes it difficult to not have conflicts of interest. A better question is how will Pastor Curt handle this situation? What happens if the board decides to not renew Andy's contract? How will Pastor Curt handle the wrath of a congregation that disagrees with his vote? Religion and politics typically don't mix well, just ask those who have tried in the past.Devils Advocatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651523444581244151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-67418297476230853902011-04-03T14:57:48.350-06:002011-04-03T14:57:48.350-06:00So why hasn't anyone responded to Rat Attacker...So why hasn't anyone responded to Rat Attacker's comment regarding conflict of interest? Is this an untouchable comment? And really is this a conflict of interest for Pastor and congregation member to serve on the same board? It has been hard for Rolly Hutton to be in the state legislature and continue as Pastor. Politics and religion seldom mix well as one has to give. A better quesion is how is Pastor Curt going to handle this? What happens if the board decides to not renew Andy's contract? How will Pastor Curt respond to the potential wrath of a congregation that perhaps disagrees with his vote?Devils Advocatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651523444581244151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-47862437534100753362011-04-01T19:50:29.335-06:002011-04-01T19:50:29.335-06:00You always have interesting statistics Johnson.

When was the last time Havre schools were sued for not calling the law when a student chews in school? get real. The highschool has a math teacher so lazy she uses the internet instructor to teach her class with no help from her now that is pathetic. What seems pathetic is that we pay more for one of the poorest educations in the world our kids are testing lower every year, must be the pathetic parents fault. I konw that kids are not perfect but we need to be carefull of what we teach if you use the law then expect the law to be used on you.fuelburner1969https://www.blogger.com/profile/14240511154205782432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-56579555344059248692011-03-31T11:45:46.399-06:002011-03-31T11:45:46.399-06:00fuelburner
The parents of students are pathetic. ...fuelburner<br /><br />The parents of students are pathetic. Schools and teachers have to contact law enforcement, or they face lawsuits. Times have changed unfortunatly, if a student does not succed because they are lazy its the school/teachers fault. If a student flunks a test because they did not study, they were to busy watching television, teachers fault. If a student is disiplined for telling a teacher to F off, teachers fault they should not have told the student to be quit in the classroom. The parents of today have changed the enviroment of teachers not being able or willing to accept the risk of treating them as "their Children" not the public school system. Parents need to wake up and understand that their child is not perfect and yes their child makes mistakes, but until they quit pointing the finger at everyone else nohing will change.livinlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496724515157923505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-90320494256847044602011-03-29T09:47:04.086-06:002011-03-29T09:47:04.086-06:00I agree Jimbo but I think that elected people onc...I agree Jimbo but I think that elected people once elected are convinced that they have to protect the school from the public. They make rules and policies to try to prevent the school from being sued and reduce liability and these rules and policies seem to make things worse. Every time something happens the school calls the police, they have no problem starting a criminal record on a young student. You may think that a juvenile record is sealed from the public but it is not sealed if you want a scholarship to a major university , or if you want to get hired by some corporations. If the school feels that the police need to be called when a student gets caught smoking or chewing on school property because that student is breaking the law. I wonder what would happen if every student called the police every time they see a faculty member break the law, like maybe having a couple beers with there pizza or some wine with supper then driving home. If you are going to promote tough zero tolerance rules then you better not foul up yourself. What happened to the days when schools treated students like there own children and taught them through guidance not the law. It is time that the schools remember that they are owned and funded by the public they are trying to be protected from.fuelburner1969https://www.blogger.com/profile/14240511154205782432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-20820911293213429672011-03-29T08:17:04.311-06:002011-03-29T08:17:04.311-06:00It is sad that there are never any candidates for ...It is sad that there are never any candidates for the school board that will actually stand up for the taxpayers. Realistically speaking why would anyone want this volunteer job where people are coming out of the woodwork to bash and belittle you for trying to make a difference.
