8. I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley.
9. There needs to be a seat on the school board where we can discuss other than simple maintenance of some accepted (required) status quo. That’s my objective, to enable that discussion. To face capitalism’s procrustean system look at http://www.thebaffler.com/past/adam_wheeler_went_to_harvard/print. And further, look at “A Matter of Degrees,” August Harper’s Magazine. Both cite perversion of the competition system’s requirement of degrees from schools in order to achieve status and the concomitant material benefits, both required for some degree of comfort, and especially security, in capitalism. ...although that security is being taken back with something called erosion of the middle class, so that doctors’, teachers’, the upper echelon of employment’s access to power and comfort is sharply reducing. Too, the putative left turns on upper income, upper strata employees, albeit working class people like us all, our Owners continued success at ‘divide and conquer’. School, like jobs, is uncomfortable at all levels, including having to turn our child over to it so we can get to some location to make money to get along, the job. The discomfort is not unassailable. It is subject to our analysis, unification, and correction. http://normaharrisonforschoolboard.info. Do talk with me to consider the full spectrum of struggle.
