Knowing your vast experience and journalistic ability with politics and other matters native to western Kentucky, expouse upon the issues involving Dr. Vance Ramage, superintendent of the Paducah Independent School system, and his hiring of Mr. Bill Cartwright, preported principal/head teacher of Cooper Whiteside Elementary who has not, to date, the certification required by the KY Department of Education to even be considered for the position which he fraudulently has accepted, and Ramage's Napoleonistic statement aired on NBC affiliate WPSD Channel Six (502 415-1900) and I paraphrase, "Cartwright will complete his certification by the end of the summer, he will be the principal of Cooper Whiteside, and all these people sticking their noses where they don't belong need to butt out!" . Keeping in mind that Ramage received a letter dated June 1, 1998, from state commissioner of education, Wilmer S. Cody, ordering him (Ramage) to seek the immediate resignation of Cartwright and respond within five days, the reason for the delay in action by one's superior eludes many. Or is this simply a case of dictatorial administration complex? Perhaps you can offer a Paducah educational history perspective and summarize a possible end scenario.

The time for major changes in KERA is now. For too long we teachers have been under the foot of the department of education. The testing program and the primary program are two thorns in the side of a majority of teachers. They restrict the learning proce s of children by moving them away from their basic needs to those manufactured by "non educators" whose only concern is looking good so as to get re-elected. Give us back our schools so we who are educated to do so can teach what we KNOW our childrn need. Thank God for SB243. I pray there is more like it to come.
