I’ve said it before, Frontier School District acts like a communist government when disciplining the kids, now they are actually making pacts with communist schools. I guess they need to learn more about taking away rights of kids. Is the Chinese Delegation indicative of their government putting down ideas of Democracy? Remember Tiananmen Square? Wasn’t it students that were assassinated and murdered for demanding a democracy?
It would have been better if the Frontier School Board told the Chinese to facilitate Democracy before we subject American students to the principals of socialism.

FRONTIER FORMS PARTNERSHIP WITH CHINESE SCHOOL DISTRICT
“Our partnership will form the basis of interactions and academic exchanges,” explained Superintendent Ronald DeCarli, who welcomed the six-member delegation during a special Breakfast Reception on October 16th.“We hope to share experiences for effective methodologies and strategies in school administration and management,” he added. To the extent possible, an exchange for students, teachers and administrators will be facilitated during the partnership.
Frontier Central has identified program initiatives that enable our students to experience growth academically as one of this year’s eight District Goals. “This partnership certainly opens many doors of opportunity for our students and fits beautifully with this goal,” added Mr. DeCarli.
District administration and Board of Education members presented the Chinese delegation with Frontier sweatshirts, while guests gave the District a silk-screened wall-hanging of its school district campus in China.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1989
The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, commonly referred to as the Tiananmen Square Massacre,[1] were a series of demonstrations led by students, intellectuals, and labor activists in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) between April 15 and June 4, 1989. While the protests lacked a unified cause or leadership, participants were generally critical of the ruling Chinese Communist Party and voiced complaints ranging from minor criticisms to calls for full-fledged democracy and the establishment of broader freedoms. The demonstrations centered on Tiananmen Square in Beijing, but large-scale protests also occurred in cities throughout China, including Shanghai, which stayed peaceful throughout the protests. In Beijing, the resulting military crackdown on the protesters by the PRC government left many civilians dead or injured. The toll ranges from 200–300 (PRC government figures), to 400–800 by The New York Times, and to 2,000–3,000 (Chinese student associations and Chinese Red Cross).
Following the violence, the government conducted widespread arrests to suppress protestors and their supporters, cracked down on other protests around China, banned the foreign press from the country and strictly controlled coverage of the events in the PRC press. Members of the Party who had publicly sympathized with the protesters were purged, with several high-ranking members placed under house arrest, such as General Secretary Zhao Ziyang. The violent suppression of the Tiananmen Square protest caused widespread international condemnation of the PRC government.[2]
