[Winona] Still Out There?

[LindaF]

While I agree that people should sign their names at a blog isn't it sad that a small school district like this can be so divided that people are afraid/concerned to post their names?
 I have been told (but have no proof) that many of the people posting at the Winona School Blog are teachers/employees of the district.
 
On another topic I think the school board was wrong when they 'took' SOFA's hard work and now want to reap the benefits of the arts.
 Can someone tell me why the board feels SOFA was not doing a good job?  No one has said what the group was doing wrong, I thought the entire board/ administration wanted only what was best for 'the children'.
Let's hope we get 2 new board members who can think on their own this November.  How long can this board continue in their 7-0 voting? 
I find it very hard to believe that they always all agree.

  From the quality of the comments on at least the WDN blogs and due in part because the posts do not require names it is not worth wasting the time to engage the nameless authors.



  Winona On Line Democracy still, in my opinion, provides the better forum for dialog with hopefully the place for ideas to form and be discussed which may lead to positive changes.  The blogs offer nothing other that to point out how angry and shallow people can be without constructive solutions.

  Good Morning,



  I was wondering if people are still using Winona On-Line Democracy.



  Has everyone migrated to the more juicy and racey blogs?



  I was just told to check out a local blog.  



  Wow.  Talk about "interesting" discourse.



  :-<



  I have never submitted a single post to a blog.



  I've only quickly looked at the school district blog twice and only because I was asked to.  



  I think having to sign your names to your posts elevates the discourse tremendously.



  If you have something to say, have the courage to attach your name to it.



  Is there still interest in Winona Online Democracy?
