The bigger they are...

We are all familiar with the concept, "the bigger they are the harder they fall."

Well brace yourselves.... The concept of Mr. Robinson is much bigger than the role that he plays.

For years this community has been held hostage by a controlling interloper who was able to schmooze his way into the hearts and minds of some of the pivitol community leaders.

Make no mistake, Mr. Robinson is a very smart man. He probably did his homework to such an extent that he would know which church to attend, which insurance agent to choose, which clubs to attend, which stores to shop in and which neighborhood to inhabit in order to meet the people he would need to win over in order to provide a buffer for himself and his unorthodox leadership style that he had tried to implement and failed in two prior communities.

When he goes, the ripple effect and the aftershocks will be intense and painful...but the alternative is much more dangerous.

So, as I said, brace yourselves....

Yes, and a key point you make is...he has had the same problems he's having here in his prior two jobs!

We need to be really really thorough when we screen for a new superintendent, whether that is sooner or later.
