Newark board meeting compared to home

WOW! first off I have to say that the person who decided to put the meetings in the middle of a dark ally on ceder street was crazy. Not that i felt threatened or anything but it was the same street that a few friends and I decided to avoid on the way home from a pub. Now that Im done with that I can discuss what I noticed about the two meetings. In Newark the big issue in fact the only issue was when the board would regain control. They also talked of how they could gain points that where lost during their evaluation. Really much of the meeting was around that. While at home the biggest issue was the new "high ropes"thing that was just done being built in the back of the field. The idea was to have student go through this tangled mess for gym class. (DUMB) I dont want to hurt anyones feelings but how the hell are we aloud to claim 40 feet in the air with nothing more then another student handling the rope and yet dodge ball is not okay. After the people where done destroying the idea of "high ropes" we moved on to more academic issues A.K.A little john received and award and the board where discussing the proper people to speak at his little do-dad. The meeting ended with some more talking but truthfully at this point I was in near tears of crazy and found myself flipping through the booklet they gave me the described nothing. Between the two I would much rather go to a Newark board meeting again for reason of sanity. The issues at those meetings are much more interesting gripping then the ones covered at the quite town.
