I just saw the story about JPS ...November 29, 2017<br /><br />I just saw the story about JPS hiring the Bailey Group. I don't do Facebook and therefore can't comment on the Clarion Liar. Here goes...<br /><br />Many employees at Bailey Education Group are just retired/fired/former bureaucrats from MDE. No new ideas; just educational bureaucratic retreads. The educational consulting business is a RACKET. When I worked at MDE years ago, a man retired and went into the MAEP consulting business. When he came back to visit, I told him I can and do give the school districts the same information he charges them to receive. He just put his finger to his lips and said, "Shhh!"<br /><br />JPS needs real leadership. Someone with gonads. Big ones. Not politically correct. Not afraid of being called any name with an 'ist' behind it. THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-13020748731403628522017-11-22T06:00:47.347-06:002017-11-22T06:00:47.347-06:00I wonder if anybody ever follows these types into ...I wonder if anybody ever follows these types into retirement to see the cash flow.

A business hires someone who can't be fired but doesn't preform, they have to hire an underling to do that person's job. Repeat over and over and we wind up with people who don't even know they don't know what they don't know. Inefficient process repeated all across government and large business cost the public billions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-44757625799314429202017-11-20T23:48:17.575-06:002017-11-20T23:48:17.575-06:00Here is how it went......

(Thank you KingFish and Mr. Pickering.). <br /><br />If you want your house to look good (When foundations are giving away, walls are falling and roof is leaking..) you resort to "Paint the Walls". In software world, if you fail to deliver anything , then you can resort to revamp the Website. You will look good temporarily with a rotten foundation inside.<br /><br />On November 9th, 2017, Porter rehearsed before his obedient IT department, a whole year plan to revamp the MDE Website. The jazzy presentation was another sleek attempt to the failing foundations such as Students Data processing, Enterprise student data management, Data quality and Security, Business Intelligence and data warehousing. Every foundation component is at a inferior stage than when he took over IT at MDE. So his last attempt to save his job is to resorting to Web Site revamping AKA "Paint the Walls". The presentation was in preparation for his last ditch attempt to present the board and stick around. <br /><br />With his tricks and techniques, deeming the lights and modulating his voice Watch this board meeting presentation (Start at 2:39:26 and continue for a few minutes to see the magic of wall painting when everything else has failed!)<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5wLv9o99Ac<br /><br />It was a good try but thanks to the relentless hammering of Our State Auditor Mr. Pickering, and Kingfish's acumanship in documenting this green team's misdeeds, Porter was unable to save his job this time. After the presentation, our Mississippi famous close door executive meeting took place. Next thing we know is that Porter has resigned from MDE for personal reason.<br /><br />http://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/politics/2017/11/17/education-executive-questioned-contracts-resign/876286001/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-51883212720930461182017-11-20T23:13:29.541-06:002017-11-20T23:13:29.541-06:00He will not resign November 30.

Trump is loathsome, and you won't find me carrying water for Betsy DeVos, but I would be heartened if the Department of Education were abolished, and state education department administrations cut back to the bone. Take the money and find or make good teachers. And firm discipline need not be politically incorrect. It mainly needs to be immediate.Burkenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-87503738689624063772017-11-20T14:19:53.558-06:002017-11-20T14:19:53.558-06:00Same old, same old at MDE.

No integrity, no principles other than self advancement and self preservation. Our children suffer while fat cat PhDs with little common sense and no desire to hear the opinions of the educators they supervise continue to promote their progressive education ideas. We don't need more new and improved programs. We need to go back to basic curriculum and politically incorrect firm discipline. Our children deserve much better. <br /><br />I know Dr. Porter. He and Crooked Carey Wright are cut from the same cloth. She needs the boot as well for 'personal' or whatever reasons. Let's see if the powers that be have the manhood to do what is best for our students.

One does have to ask along the way: If Pickering warned her....why wasn't there a correction? Is there any law enforcement happening at all? We effectively have a social worker in the AG's office.....So WHO exactly is in charge of accountability in the State of Mississippi? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
