This is a State mandated body of parents, appointed by the school board and given specific tasks at the direction of the school board. When the smaller, prettier Fire Eater explained our view of the situation the DAC suddenly became an effective, aggressive defender of children’s rights and education AGAINST the board and superintendent. Over the past month these few parents who have been frustrated and even ridiculed publicly for their expectation that the board or superintendent cares one bit what they say or do, have begun to focus on the school board elections in 2009 and IMMEDIATELY some school board members began to listen to them. When those barriers serve to diminish the authority of the parent in the eyes of the child, to make the parent seem, and indeed be, impotent in the face of a school superintendent, they are agents of destruction of the concepts of family, community and local control in favor of state orchestration of sad, demented facsimiles of these social units. So instead of saying, “thank you for making dinner”, “you’re welcome”, “thank you for bringing in firewood”, “you’re welcome”, “thank you for doing dishes”, “you’re welcome”, “thank you for warming up the bed”, “you’re welcome” we just say, I’m glad you did the dishes because my fingers are chapped, or “I’m so glad you made dinner because all I had was a carrot for lunch”, or “Watching you split wood makes me Horny.
