  Yes Al Day, while it is true that teachers educate and that places like Harvard and Yale have very old buildings that have been modernized, it is also true that the Harvard's and Yale's of the world have also expanded and consistently spend money to attract better teachers. People must stop complaining about hiring the best teachers and instead make teaching a worthwhile career path. One not based on incentives, but competition. Then, maybe, we will get away from the old "those who can do, those who can't teach" mentality and get those people who are "doing" involved in teaching. After all, how can we have rocket-scientists without someone teaching them how to become one? This includes having access to newer, better buildings, with better technology.

  This is NOT parkland. It is BCPS owned property not currently being used to house a school.
