Food for Thought

Tonight for dinner I made a basic staple for my family. We had grilled chicken with a jerk rub, yellow rice made with brown rice instead of white, and a ceasar salad. Fresh lime to squeeze on the chicken and rice tops it all off. Only complaint tonight was from my oldest son. I ran out of salad because we had two extra guests for dinner and he went to the gym to play basketball so he was late anyway.
 I decided  that I would like to talk about something that is really pissing me off. Did you know that the superintendent of the city schools gives himself his annual evaluation? He gave himself a very good rating and now the school board has proposed a $40k + bonus for Mr. Cash. I watched Mr. Cash, on the news, answer the question from a reporter and he compared himself to a CEO of a similar sized company and that their bonuses were much larger so it was like he was saving the tax payers money. This is so very wrong in so many ways. The school system is a non-profit not a publicly or privately traded company and cannot be compared to such. The city schools had to lay off teachers and almost did not begin on time due to lack of funds so why would the superintendent receive any kind of bonus. Then there is the WTF question, why is Mr. Cash giving himself his annual evaluation? My next evaluation at my job is in November and the amount my pay will increase is based on my score on that evaluation so I am going to  ask my manager if I can just do it myself. What I really would like to know is how this kind of craziness happens in our city and who hired Mr. Cash and who is the dip s**t on the school board that thought giving him a bonus was a good thing?
