My E-mail battle with the Salem Superintendant of Schools

[mburbank]

I'm in a huge slap fight with the outgoing superintendant of schools of my daughter's school system. It is too hysterical for words. He is the most pompous self important prick imaginable and aside from the fact that I find the decisions he's making deeply harmful to the teachers and kids, he desperately cries out to be deflated.

he closed his last email to me with by saying if I thought all the problems my daughter's school had were caused by the outgoing principle (who basically vanished last week after fight with a parent) then "I assume your candlesticks dance on your dining room table."

I wrote back saying I didn't have any candlesticks, and closed by saying I assumed his candlesticks did more than dance.

If it wasn't for the kids caught in the middle it would be pure comedy.
