Our once proud school system here in St. Louis is so rotten, the state is on the verge of taking it over. Alvarez & Marshall promised to take us to the pinnacle and, instead, plunked us in the toilet. They certainly were not the only culprits, but they added their pathetic ineptitude to our own "conspiracy of dunces". It is witheringly ironic to find them rewarded with the largest school system in the country. I'd recommend you remove these imbeciles and the imbeciles that hired them -- on the first set of rails you can find.
