Please don't take this message as my being offensive towards MOE. All preceeding thoughts were simply an observation and possible suggestion as sparked by this post...  |
Sorry if this is a somewhat re-post of what Carol said, but here it is.
Over the past few years, we have tried very hard to start to spin off some schools into their own teams. This past year we were finally successful in getting a few started, and started one at Avon Grove highschool (#1495), which had previously been the highschool with the most students on MOE. We were also able to start a team at Middletown Highscool, which had previously had students on MOE. These two were the first spinoffs, but we are always pressing for more. One problem we have run into is the funding facilities, and equipment issue found everywhere. However, it is my interpretation of the Miracle Workerz mission that we would like to continue to spin off teams untill there one school left, and that school will become MOE.
