Why Does Bow Have Its Own Sau, Teach Chinese
Question: Why does Bow have to have an SAU all of its own? Couldn’t we save a lot of money by joining a nearby SAU? Bow has to have an SAU all of its own? It only makes sense to me. This would save the taxpayers a good deal of their hard-earned dollars!!! Why hasn’t this been addressed openly at a school meeting? How much money could we truly save by joining another SAU?
BCC Answer: Yes, Bow has an SAU all of its own. Yes Bow would save lot of money by joining a nearby SAU. It makes sense to critical thinkers as well. This would save the taxpayers a good deal of their hard-earned dollars!!! This is not beening addressed openly at a school meeting because not enough taxpayers go to school board meetings and school district meetings, but hopefully that will change.
Question: Why are we teaching Chinese to 6 students? Who authorized this? How is the instructor paid? Perhaps the parents of the six students should pay for this frivolous class!!! Enough already. Let’s be realistic in our academic teachings. Based on recent figures, it appears that the junior class is roughly 50% proficient in reading, writing and arithmetic. One doesn’t have to have to have a PhD to realize there’s a problem here. Who’s accountable for these horrific scores? And the school superintendent supports this IB program. Really now. Why is it that these people holding important positions can’t see the forest through the trees. Perhaps they’re like the lead horse wearing blinders while pulling the wagon into quicksand.
BCC Answer: Chinese is being taught in the school. Presently the teacher is here from China and is paid for by a grant and is housed with a Bow family. But - if we are to continue teaching the language after the 2 year grant is up then we as taxpayers will be asked by the school board to add this position to the curriculum.
