On the County website Dr. Roy D. Nichols, Superintendent of Mobile County Schools, says:
“I am honored to be the Superintendent of the Mobile County Public School System.”
Hell, who wouldn’t be at that salary! 
“Thank you for putting your faith in me and my ability to keep the system moving forward and reaching new heights.”
It is clear to The Bull that the ‘faith’ he is speaking of is very much mis-placed! Further, ‘reaching new heights’ in the Mobile, AL school system wouldn’t be a difficult job for a standard cockroach! Dr. Nichols apparently hasn’t been paying attention to our rankings as compared to the rest of the Nation. Too many golf games on tax payer time, (and tax payer expense), no doubt.
“School systems are one of the more complex organizations to manage, with budget, personnel and labor issues.”
Especially with the teacher’s union calling the shots and holding the elected/appointed officials in their pocket along with the loose change! Then, of course, we have all of those very well-paid upper-level officials while the poorly-paid teaching positions are being cut! Makes me wonder what the hell good the union is anyway. Oh, wait… I forgot! 
The purpose of the NEA is to get liberals elected to offices (local through Federal levels) and to guarantee the jobs of the most inept instructors imaginable.
What fired me up today?
Trying to get my oldest son – a returning student, mind you – registered for school. The District has made the process nearly impossible. We did finally get the kid registered… It took two trips, a dozen documents, four ID’s, and visits from The Bull and Lady Beth (who had to leave work in the middle of the day).
Why all the hassle?
When asked the school said it to keep out those that do not belong in the Mobile County Public Schools. That’s a joke! With all of the non-English speaking illegals in our schools? No. They will allow anyone in! Oh! the good folks at Hankins Middle School simply hung up on me the first time I questioned them on the phone. Like rude behavior would make The Bull go away! (They don’t know me too well, do they?) The Superintendent’s Office says it is to keep students from moving from the other (new) middle schools to my son’s school that was opened in the year 1918. No kidding – 1918! Yeah, we’re all just dying to get our kids into sub-caliber Mobile, AL schools – especially the one that was serving students at the beginning of the last century!
I never did get a straight answer as to why it took so much. Never got an apology for the rude behavior, either.
Considering what group we’re talking about, and the leadership thereof, I’m not surprised.
Bull, out.
