  1. This is unbelievable. What a blunder. Starr to red zone parents who can't afford to pay the admission price to come to this meet and greet: drop dead. What on earth is the Board of Ed thinking? After all, Starr is their employee. Mr. Barclay, BOE president, why on earth did you tell Starr to do this?

  2. What could he possible say at this pay-for-performance that can't be said for free?
    Would I get a different speech from Dr. Starr because I don't pay to go and see him?

  3. This is the most elitist and hypocritical junk ever ... where do the STUDENTS fit into this, and where is the money for this speaking event going?

  4. To me the interesting thing will be, how does Josh interact with the parents at the 'Listen and Learn' sessions vs. how does he interact with the audience on his 'let's meet the VIPs' tour. And who arranged this tour for him? with our tax dollars, I assume. This doesn't look good.
