[Vision2020] MSD Pay and Tenure--a reply

[Ted Moffett]

Donovan et. al.

If you have already agreed that MSD can be more efficient and lower costs, 
this admission does not automatically lead to the conclusion you say Dale 
will assume it does, namely that a private school is the answer to solve the 
alleged inefficiencies at MSD.  It could mean MSD needs internal reforms of 
one sort or another, or it could mean more volunteers in the school from the 
community or getting parents more involved in their child's education could 
lower costs, etc. but all this might be done without involving a private 
school or schools.

But for you to look at Dale's statistics and say, yes, maybe there is a 
problem with the costs at MSD, now Dale please tell me what you would cut 
from the MSD budget to solve this problem without eliminating programs and 
services etc. or give me an example of a private school that provides all 
the programs and services etc. at MSD for less money, is a simple sort of 
conversation two people who are interested in the truth, rather than proving 
their entrenched positions, might have.

It did not seem that either of you were having this sort of reasonable give 
and take in your discussion, but the flame war has been entertaining!

Ted
