The Pittsburgh Public Schools will drop "public" from its name and adopt a new, standardized way of referring to its schools as part of a campaign to brighten and strengthen the district's image.
By dropping "public" from its name, Randall Taylor said, the district might be able to avoid the negative attitude often associated with public schools.
Also, the district last night announced plans to upgrade its parent hotline into a "customer service center," another initiative aimed at boosting the district's image.
The plan includes better training for operators, the ability to send out thousands of phone messages or e-mails at once and a standard turnaround time for responding to parent complaints.
The district also said it was forming a committee to revise its curriculum on human reproduction. Mr. Roosevelt said the group will study the possibility of adding contraception to the curriculum. Currently, that subject is raised only in presentations by outside agencies. Students must have their parents' consent to attend those sessions.
Maybe doing something to improve the education the students are receiving would improve their image more. Because while they can take the "public" out of their name if that is all they are doing they haven't achieved much. Apparently these loonies equate changing somethings name withe real improvement the parent hotline is now the customer service center.
The one change they are considering making that involves more then a name change concerns handing out contraception to students
Since some "so called progressives" disapprove of homeschooling I suppose we could change the name to "schooling" and everything would be hunky dory.
