At the end of a long, fuzzy-thinking op-ed piece aimed, I infer, at the problem of funding the building of more schools for overcrowded Dorchester County [see
Public School Funding Requires Rising Above Interest Groups ], Ron Brinson, an ex-associate editor of the
P & C makes the following statements:
This is not rocket science. Reliable and equitable school funding models have evolved in many high-growth states.
No further details. Unnamed states. Why wasn't the entire op-ed piece about them? No wonder he's an ex! How about
- who
- what
- when
- where
- why and
- how?

As urban sprawl continued to envelop Dorchester County, where Mr. Brinson lives, I believe, his observations about facilities might be accurate. But it's just too broad a generalization to say this is the case everywhere in the tri-county area where five very different school districts respond to very different challenges. Now if what he had in mind was Dillion County, I'd agree with him. As for Charleston County, before we talk about better buildings, we need better management. After all, these are the people that determine if what goes on in these buildings is successful or a failure. Right now, it's more failure than success...and the building is not the cause.
