IN THE END, WE'RE ALL VERY DISPOSABLE

All day yesterday and most of today, K57's talk show hosts have talked about Juan Flores' job....coming to an end...

I recalled how easily disposable that pretty woman, Narissa Shaffer was when the board or whatever it was that caused getting rid of her was some years ago. Nothing she did or said was good enough. The teachers adored her, the media loved her. She was even tagged a 'media darling' because she was easy to find for answers....but she didn't make everyone in the central office happy, didn't jump when they ordered her to jump and in the end, they looked far and wide and she was ceremoniously replaced. She took the high road and stepped down....
Juan Flores left a job that he supposedly made big bucks at and came to save his island's school system. He was the saviour of the system. The man coming to the island, riding the white horse. He was the male version of Shaffer, easy to contact and on the radio whenever he was called....but like toilet paper, he outlived his usefulness....he couldn't, didn't make friends with everybody. He didn't please everybody and I'm sure that there's a line of names behind his just like there was behind Shaffer's...you see, when we don't get our way(when all of the people aren't pleased) we don't try to work out any compromises...we fire, we get rid of....one just has to remember Kin Perez, Madeline Bordallo's COS. Someone in the front office didn't like him. There was no way taken to try to work with him...wait for Madeline to return from her trip to try to work out a way to find a way to work with him....nope, he was fired....totally disposable! Likewise, there's that Bertha Duenas in this administration, I think she held a high position, not sure if she was a COS in the lt. gov's office.....she did something that the front office and instead of working out a compromise....she was fired....not by her boss, but by the front office. The same thing happened at GMH, several times. Don't like the man? Fire him!
So there's a call to remove the board because of their call to get ride of Juan Flores. Getting rid of them is just as bad as getting rid of Flores. We have to find out what caused them to vote the way they did to remove Flores. They have fifteen or so reasons that they say he didn't do(or whatever number it is) The man appears to have done a good job, how grave were those chores that it caused the man to lose his job? I think that having secret meetings just makes it appear that directors are like toilet paper....totally disposable and useless....which makes us wonder why we bother to pay them such huge salaries!
