Doctor J – with all your postings to blogs, are you modeling Milt Lamberson’s memory?

It seems you make many claims (some founded, some unfounded) in order to stir the pot. I’m all for constructive discussion, but many of your posts feel almost like accusations and assaults on personal character. It seemed that you first thought the Sunday meeting/retreat was another “gate” and made it sound like the Board could do no right. Now it sounds like you support the work they did last Sunday with the consultant.

From what I’ve seen of you on blogs, I wouldn’t necessarily characterize you as a “peacemaker” or a model of Milt Lambertson. Maybe you could try honoring Milt Lambertson by following his lead?

@Poseidon, I think the consultant hired by the Supt., Kirk Berger, agrees with me. I honored the memory of Lambertson. We need more like him. Gary could learn a lot from his character.

Dr. J,

Not only are you annoying, you are classless. To place more of your blathering on this particular thread is extremely disrespectful. It will be a great day in the MDUSD when you are relieved of your duties. Milt Lambertson was a great man who cared deeply for the children of the MDUSD. To desecrate a thread that is placed here to honor his life really tells us a lot about the person that you are Dr. J. Crawl back into your hole.

You know its really not about the amount of the money —its about the hypocrisy. Lets find out how many of our administrators are heading down to Monterey in late February for the next Conference ? Do we really have to send more than one ? Why should we send anyone ? Don’t we have a new focus on curriculum already ?

This article actually brings up a very good issue. The level of leadership in this country has been declining for years and the current state of our country, right down to the school district level reflects this sad fact.

In my opinion, the Steve Lawrence’s and Gary Eberhart’s of the world are destroying us from within. They hire/promote/protect like-minded morons and run out anybody who disagrees with their asinine beliefs and judgements.

It becomes almost a self-fulfilling process as these types of narcissists take over organizations and run them into the ground.

God help us and bless the old-school leaders who are passing.

In 15 years, I have never seen Gary Eberhart exhibit an ounce of diplomacy as Milton Lambertson: “Lambertson, 62, has been known over the years for his gentle demeanor, thoughtfulness and willingness to compromise,” .

I went through another CA school district before 1978. It was not sunshine and roses then – many challenged students would have been living in State mental health facilities, corporal punishment with a paddle hanging in the classroom, smoking in the bathrooms, and boys took wood and metal shop and girls took home ec and typing. I had some great teachers who changed my life, and I had some horrible and actually sexist teachers. Things are different and now really everything depends on having the best principals and teachers in every classroom. Every school board member is responsible to make that happen!
