Then teachers stepped out of the classroom and  took charge of the school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, the rechristened Woodland Hills Academy, named for the school's  suburban location north of Los Angeles, is run by a teacher-controlled  committee where the principal carries the same weight as a teacher and  the district has minimal say in operations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Test scores are up 18 percent and enrollment has spiked more than 30  percent. The model works, teachers say, because everyone from the  principal to the janitor is vested in the outcome. "Everybody has a  stake," said teacher Bruce Newborn. "We all suffer and we all win."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/13/AR2010111302101.html"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8246425657079004040-6050493383397553533?l=colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/feeds/6050493383397553533/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8246425657079004040&amp;postID=6050493383397553533&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/6050493383397553533'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/6050493383397553533'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2010/11/bi-annual-teachers-take-charge-to-save.html' title='The Bi-Annual &quot;Teachers take charge to save AILING PUBLIC SCHOOLS&quot; Event'/><author><name>GSDCM</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p6Un4Arr_as/SjP8nYj4wII/AAAAAAAAAB8/oHC-1EiCGQg/S220/fail+begin+1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246425657079004040.post-6592725762079608362</id><published>2010-11-14T14:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-14T14:21:00.287-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Latino Kids Now Majority In State's Public Skools</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://briansrapier.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/pedro.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://briansrapier.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/pedro.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ay carumba. Latinos now make up a majority of California's  public school students, cracking the 50 percent barrier for the first  time in the state's history, according to data released Friday by the  state Department of Education. &lt;span id="articlebody"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Almost 50.4 percent of the state's students in the 2009-10 school  year identified themselves as Hispanic or Latino, up 1.36 percent from  the previous year. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In comparison, 27 percent of California's 6.2 million students  identified themselves as white, 9 percent as Asian and 7 percent as  black. Students calling themselves Filipino, Pacific Islander, Native  American or other total almost 7 percent. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;While the result was no surprise to educators, experts say the shift  underscores the huge impact Latinos already have on California's  politics, economy and school system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/11/13/MNIG1GBD0C.DTL&amp;amp;tsp=1"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8246425657079004040-6592725762079608362?l=colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/feeds/6592725762079608362/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8246425657079004040&amp;postID=6592725762079608362&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/6592725762079608362'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/6592725762079608362'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2010/11/latino-kids-now-majority-in-states.html' title='Latino Kids Now Majority In State&apos;s Public Skools'/><author><name>GSDCM</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p6Un4Arr_as/SjP8nYj4wII/AAAAAAAAAB8/oHC-1EiCGQg/S220/fail+begin+1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246425657079004040.post-8184489803056069537</id><published>2010-08-16T10:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-16T10:12:00.740-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fremont music teacher charged with voyeurism</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.pmbryan.com/Camera%20shoe.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 280px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 224px" alt="" src="http://www.pmbryan.com/Camera%20shoe.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SF Chronicle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Fremont music teacher accused of taking "up-skirt" photos of a woman on an escalator last month at a Seattle airport has been charged with one count of voyeurism. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prosecutors in King County, Wash., say Christopher T.

Schools&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poor Steve Zimmer, board member of L.A. Unified School District (Jewish Journal, 6/18). How much courage did it take to come up with yet another pathetic whimper about more school funding--at a time of record unemployment, unprecedented tax burdens on Californians, massive foreclosures, and a whopping 50% drop out rate in the District! Hey, this takes guts! (or chutzpah?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The effrontery of board member Zimmer and his colleagues is beyond embarrassing to those who have been following the abysmal, some say criminal, record of the worst school district in the nation.

If a martian were to land at many of the campuses, the interplanetary visitor would correctly assume that the mission statement of our academic genius administrators would be: maximum confusion, minimum effort, near-total apathy and dysfunction. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Shifren/nachum112.htm"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8246425657079004040-6370805647225382785?l=colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/feeds/6370805647225382785/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8246425657079004040&amp;postID=6370805647225382785&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/6370805647225382785'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/6370805647225382785'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2010/08/opinion-school-daze-at-la-schools.html' title='Opinion: School Daze at L.A.

Fairbanks, previously known as Taryn Stermer, resigned from the Seattle school district less than a month ago and moved back to her native Las Vegas.

It recommends that Nathan Turner — who organized the April 2007 trip for himself and five students of the selective Beacon School on the Upper East Side — never be allowed to work in city schools again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turner, whose class walls were adorned with posters of Castro and Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, resigned in 2008. Besides placing full blame on Turner, 39, for violating federal restrictions for traveling to Cuba, the report also fully exonerates the school’s principal, Ruth Lacey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/teacher_reason_for_controversial_GzUuz7dAKxjv5sfVutlP2H"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8246425657079004040-6359259834474877192?l=colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/feeds/6359259834474877192/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8246425657079004040&amp;postID=6359259834474877192&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/6359259834474877192'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/6359259834474877192'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2010/07/teachers-brilliant-reason-for-taking.html' title='Teacher&apos;s brilliant reason for taking students to Cuba before Castro dies and spends an eternity in hell: &quot;I&apos;m a communist&quot;'/><author><name>GSDCM</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p6Un4Arr_as/SjP8nYj4wII/AAAAAAAAAB8/oHC-1EiCGQg/S220/fail+begin+1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H_rVDlsennM/S6w5AVmCiZI/AAAAAAAAUYM/tyRyajq0PuE/s72-c/fidel_castro_poster_barack_obama.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246425657079004040.post-9218760411709693524</id><published>2010-07-30T04:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-30T04:11:00.466-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guns'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fag gay shooting suicide homo safe school award'/><title type='text'>Normal?

A writer and photographer himself, Ricks would walk the halls of the Manassas school with a leather-bound journal of his musings tucked in his bag, next to his laptop computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What teachers, parents, students and even his wife didn't know was that his journals contained decades of dark secrets, a running handwritten commentary of Ricks's world of obsession, infatuation, pursuit, sexual abuse and international child exploitation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They didn't know about his library of homemade pornographic videos and explicit photographs capturing his tequila-soaked sex acts with teenage boys he had handpicked. They didn't know about the makeshift shrine boxes containing mementos of the episodes, including sex toys, soiled tissues and hair trimmings.&lt;br /&gt;Even some of the victims didn't know they were victims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A four-month Washington Post investigation of Ricks's career as a teacher, tutor, foreign exchange host and camp counselor has revealed a pattern of abuse that dates to at least 1978 and has left a trail of victims spanning the globe. But despite the abuse, Ricks moved from one teaching job to the next over nearly 30 years, navigating the nation's public and private school systems undetected, evading traps designed to catch him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In some cases, school officials and foreign exchange companies knew of or suspected Ricks's inappropriate behavior and simply let him go, leaving the next employer with no idea what was coming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/24/AR2010072402605.html"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2010/07/24/VI2010072403001.html"&gt;Video Below&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src="http://specials.washingtonpost.com/mv/embed/?title=She%20warned%20the%20school&amp;amp;stillURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fwp-dyn%2Fcontent%2Fphoto%2F2010%2F07%2F24%2FPH2010072403040.jpg&amp;amp;flvURL=%2Fmedia%2F2010%2F07232010-55v&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=270&amp;amp;autoStart=false&amp;amp;clickThru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fwp-dyn%2Fcontent%2Fvideo%2F2010%2F07%2F24%2FVI2010072403001.html" frameborder="0" width="480" scrolling="no" height="270"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8246425657079004040-6693857424167470152?l=colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/feeds/6693857424167470152/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8246425657079004040&amp;postID=6693857424167470152&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/6693857424167470152'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/6693857424167470152'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2010/07/lurking-in-schools-i-was-just-born-this.html' title='Lurking In The Schools: &quot;I was just born this way&quot; teacher, tutor, foreign exchange host, camp counselor shows pattern of abuse that goes back decades'/><author><name>GSDCM</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p6Un4Arr_as/SjP8nYj4wII/AAAAAAAAAB8/oHC-1EiCGQg/S220/fail+begin+1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246425657079004040.post-1727863746543406697</id><published>2010-07-26T02:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-26T03:03:10.629-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mad TV's Public School House Rock PSA: "Dopin' Up Kids With Behavioral Problems"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Mad TV didn't have to do much research for this sketch, eh?

Yup, it's the continuous sound of more money being flushed away into the black hole of toilets, the govt skool system. Don't count on ever seeing that money again; for the worst investment in human history, there aren't going to be any returns. However, I wouldn't mind getting a refund for all the years of my life ruined and wasted by the govt's system. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;USA Today&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;ALBANY, N.Y. — New York spent $17,173 per student for public education in 2007-08, more than any other state and 67% more than the U.S. average, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics released Monday. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;The $10,259 national average — $6,914 less than New York — was a 6.1% increase over 2006-07, the Census Bureau said. New York's spending went up 7.4% over the two years. New York's per-student spending was highest in 2006-07 too at $15,981 per student, and the national average was $9,666. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

Now the teachers are learning when they should be teaching. Evidently, teachers - being as dense as the center of a Red Dwarf - need instruction on identifying bullies in their own classrooms and correcting the bullies' bullying styles.

When they're adults in perpetual adolescence, it'll be easier for them to accept the coming police state.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CBS4 - IOWA&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was organized chaos at Moline High School Thursday, when area hospitals, EMS and police trained for a school shooting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For the area emergency workers, the training gave an inside look of what a school shooting might be like. There were more than 60 volunteers acting as panicked parents or as injured students.Fifteen-year-old Lindsey Gidel participated as an injured student. She was given the role of someone knocked unconscious in the chaos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was really scared; I almost started crying because the thought it could actually happen," Gidel said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Unfortunately shootings do happen, and that's the main reason for the training."School shootings and workplace violence has been occurring everywhere across the country," explains Rock Island County Sergeant Mitch Lee, "That's why we continue to train."Organizers say part of the goal is also to get emergency crews working together. Students were even rushed to local hospitals like they would be in a real situation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.whbf.com/Global/story.asp?S=12818954"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="FONT-STYLE: normal;font-family:arial, verdana, sans-serif;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;p style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 12px 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0pxfont-size:12px;" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8246425657079004040-109126574267121410?l=colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/feeds/109126574267121410/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8246425657079004040&amp;postID=109126574267121410&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/109126574267121410'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/109126574267121410'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2010/07/law-enforcement-uses-school-as-anti.html' title='Law enforcement uses school as anti-guerrilla warfare training center; students scared'/><author><name>GSDCM</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p6Un4Arr_as/SjP8nYj4wII/AAAAAAAAAB8/oHC-1EiCGQg/S220/fail+begin+1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246425657079004040.post-8452192737093963704</id><published>2010-07-20T17:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-20T17:37:14.420-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Faggotry forced-taught to kindergarteners using same-sex penguins</title><content type='html'>Parents cannot opt-out even if they cared.

However, Polis is more than HIV positive that the subsequent reduction in health care costs due to improvements in children's health will "more than offset" the $50mil price tag. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Yeah, right.

Todd Liberty.Sande is suspected of having an ongoing  sexual relationship with the girl, who was one of his students, during the spring and summer. They had sexual contact on campus, which is on Huntington Drive in Aptos, Liberty said. He said the two also "would go to secluded spots" in the Aptos area to be intimate. The contact continued into the summer, deputies reported.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;The girl's parents discovered the alleged inappropriate relationship in July, according to the Sheriff's Office."They became suspicious based on unusual behavior at home," Liberty said.Deputies searched Sande's house, on Esmeralda Court in the Carbonera Estates neighborhood, Friday morning. They seized possible evidence, including computers, but have yet to sift through all of the items.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_15533444?nclick_check=1"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8246425657079004040-847726991117757532?l=colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/feeds/847726991117757532/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8246425657079004040&amp;postID=847726991117757532&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/847726991117757532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/847726991117757532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2010/07/another-junior-high-teacher-accused-of.html' title='Another junior high teacher accused of molesting female student'/><author><name>GSDCM</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p6Un4Arr_as/SjP8nYj4wII/AAAAAAAAAB8/oHC-1EiCGQg/S220/fail+begin+1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246425657079004040.post-1076923602252666196</id><published>2010-07-19T05:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-20T18:24:14.779-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Slap On The Wrist: Teacher Fired, School Disciplined For Student's Drowning</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://gothamist.com/attachments/jen/2010_07_nicsuriel.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 140px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 104px" alt="" src="http://gothamist.com/attachments/jen/2010_07_nicsuriel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Gothamist - July 15, 2010&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;A Department of Education investigation into the drowning of sixth grader Nicole Suriel during a class trip to Long Beach slammed Columbia Secondary School for poor planning that led to the tragedy. The beach had numerous signs noting there were no lifeguards on duty; there were three adults supervising the 24 students. The DOE fired first-year teacher Erin Bailey and disciplined assistant principal Andrew Stillman and Principal Jose Maldonado-Rivera.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:13;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;The Daily News runs down some of the findings, including how "Assistant Principal Andrew Stillman decided at the last minute not to go, staying behind to do administrative work. Bailey's boyfriend - former teacher Joseph Garnevicus, 28 - went in Stillman's place, but couldn't swim." Also, "There weren't specific permission slips, just 'blanket' slips from the start of the year that didn't include swimming." The "blanket slips" were only for trips in Manhattan; instead of issuing a permission slip to parents, Stillman simply emailed them, "We're headed to the beach tomorrow."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

If the authorities weren't expecting more school massacring Colorado-style, then they wouldn't train for it. As I've said before, it's all part of conditioning children to accept violence as part of normal, everyday life.

God loves the public skool system, &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;and with divinity on their side, the teachers can only succeed in destroying our nation and its children while not losing a penny for the effort and all with God's help.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an email to its members, the teachers' union wrote:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Dear lord,' this year you have taken away my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett, my favorite singer, Michael Jackson, and my favorite salesman, Billy Mays.

It may be acid-dropping during lunch, or a vicious assault of a bullied student.  Perhaps an indicator is the epidemic of teacher/student molestation, or the murders of students by students.  Whatever it is, the guvment thought it would be a cool money-waster to esspla'n it in crayon for the non-interested, illiterate public - the product of guvment educacion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the report, there's no definition for "Indicator," but "Crime" is defined as:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Any violation of a statute or regulation or any act that the government has determined is injurious to the public, including felonies and misdemeanors. Such violation may or may not involve violence, and it may affect individuals or property."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Here are some highlights about indicators of school crime, or acts committed in a school which is "injurious [...] including felonies and misdemeanors [which] may or may not involve violence" (as though this was difficult to imagine):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Violent Deaths&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;blockquote style="display: inline !important; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;From July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008, there were 21 homicides and 5 suicides of school-age youth (ages 5–18) at school&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nonfatal Student and Teacher Victimization&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;In 2007, students ages 12–18 were victims of about 1.5 million nonfatal crimes while they were at school, compared to about 1.1 million nonfatal crimes while they were away from school&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The rates for theft and violent crime were higher at school than away from school.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;10 percent of male students in grades 9–12 reported being threatened or injured with a weapon on school property in the past year, compared to 5 percent of female students.

This conference was fully supported by the Massachusetts Department of Education, the Safe Schools Program, the Governor’s Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, and some of the presenters even received federal money. During the 2000 conference, workshop leaders led a “youth only, ages 14-21″ session that offered lessons in “fisting” a dangerous sexual practice. During another workshop an activist asked 14 year-old students, “Spit or swallow?… Is it rude?” The unbelievable audio clip is posted &lt;a href="http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2009/12/breaking-obamas-safe-schools-czars-question-to-14-year-olds-spit-vs-swallow-is-it-rude-audio-video/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Barack Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar” Kevin Jennings is the founder of GLSEN. He was paid $273,573.96 as its executive director in 2007. Jennings was the keynote speaker at the 2000 GLSEN conference.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://biggovernment.com/2009/12/08/fistgate-ii-high-school-students-given-fisting-kits-at-kevin-jennings-2001-glsen-conference/"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Flashback-Failure: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2009/06/obamas-partner-in-sodomy-and-safe.html"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Obama's partner-in-sodomy and "Safe School" fag-in-charge dreamed of boys and homosexuality in schools&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  color: rgb(148, 15, 4);

We are a nation of people that refuses to grow up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I Corinthians 13:11 states "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this text, Paul is referring to a natural phenomenon to make a spiritual application. It is natural to grow up. To become mature. To no longer act and think like a child. To put those things away and embrace responsibility, maturity, manhood, womanhood. And so it should be when it comes to spiritual matters is Paul's point. In America however, not only is spiritual immaturity a problem, but natural immaturity is a problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though some are beginning to realize and write about the problem of ‘perpetual adolescence' in American society, few are able to isolate the causes. One prevailing cause for perpetual adolescence amongst Americans is our American education system – it breeds perpetual adolescence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px;

I’m glad you all could join us today. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little longer this morning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday – at 4:30 in the morning.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Now I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;So I know some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Now I’ve given a lot of speeches about education. And I’ve talked a lot about responsibility.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;I’ve talked about your teachers’ responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working where students aren’t getting the opportunities they deserve. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world – and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;And that’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Every single one of you has something you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Maybe you could be a good writer – maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper – but you might not know it until you write a paper for your English class. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor – maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccine – but you might not know it until you do a project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice, but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;And no matter what you want to do with your life – I guarantee that you’ll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You’re going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You can’t drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You’ve got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;And this isn’t just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you’re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;You’ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You’ll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You’ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that – if you quit on school – you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Now I know it’s not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;I get it. I know what that’s like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn’t always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn’t fit in. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;So I wasn’t always as focused as I should have been. I did some things I’m not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;But I was fortunate. I got a lot of second chances and had the opportunity to go to college, and law school, and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn’t have much. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don’t have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job, and there’s not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don’t feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren’t right. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life – what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you’ve got going on at home – that’s no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude. That’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. That’s no excuse for not trying. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up. No one’s written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;That’s what young people like you are doing every day, all across America. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn’t speak English when she first started school. Hardly anyone in her hometown went to college, and neither of her parents had gone either. But she worked hard, earned good grades, got a scholarship to Brown University, and is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to being Dr. Jazmin Perez.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;I’m thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who’s fought brain cancer since he was three. He’s endured all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer – hundreds of extra hours – to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind, and he’s headed to college this fall. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;And then there’s Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods, she managed to get a job at a local health center; start a program to keep young people out of gangs; and she’s on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Jazmin, Andoni and Shantell aren’t any different from any of you. They faced challenges in their lives just like you do. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;That’s why today, I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education – and to do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending time each day reading a book. Maybe you’ll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you’ll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all kids deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you’ll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, I hope you’ll all wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you don’t feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. You won’t click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;That’s OK.  Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures define you – you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time. If you get in trouble, that doesn’t mean you’re a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to behave. If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;No one’s born being good at things, you become good at things through hard work. You’re not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don’t hit every note the first time you sing a song. You’ve got to practice. It’s the same with your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right, or read something a few times before you understand it, or do a few drafts of a paper before it’s good enough to hand in. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and to learn something new. So find an adult you trust – a parent, grandparent or teacher; a coach or counselor – and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you – don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough. It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;It’s the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and found this nation. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;So today, I want to ask you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn. But you’ve got to do your part too. So I expect you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don’t let us down – don’t let your family or your country or yourself down. Make us all proud. I know you can do it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/MediaResources/PreparedSchoolRemarks/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Read on White House Website&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8246425657079004040-7034791675800167694?l=colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/feeds/7034791675800167694/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8246425657079004040&amp;postID=7034791675800167694&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/7034791675800167694'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/7034791675800167694'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2009/09/husseins-sales-pitch-speech-for.html' title='Hussein&apos;s sales pitch &quot;speech&quot; for Ritalined/drunk/sexualized/ADHD nation student body: Don&apos;t be a loser by dropping out of your failed gov&apos;t skool'/><author><name>GSDCM</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p6Un4Arr_as/SjP8nYj4wII/AAAAAAAAAB8/oHC-1EiCGQg/S220/fail+begin+1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246425657079004040.post-3660504213963398325</id><published>2009-09-07T23:20:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-07T23:30:34.334-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Welfare Failed Welfare: Schools Aided by Stimulus Money Still Facing Cuts</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/09/07/us/school.650.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 130px;" src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/09/07/us/school.650.1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Publik skool money-pit now considered bigger and far more destructive than the black hole located at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;New York Times -- September 7, 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Children are returning to classrooms across the nation during one of the most tumultuous periods in American education, in which many thousands of teachers and other school workers — no one yet knows how many — were laid off in dozens of states because of plummeting state and local revenue. Many were hired back, thanks in part to $100 billion in federal stimulus money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How much the federal money has succeeded in stabilizing schools depends on the state. In those where budget deficits have been manageable, stimulus money largely replaced plunging taxpayer revenues for schools.

Iserbyt served as Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education, during the first Reagan Administration, where she first blew the whistle on a major technology initiative which would control curriculum in America's classrooms. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Iserbyt is a former school board director in Camden, Maine and was co-founder and research analyst of Guardians of Education for Maine (GEM) from 1978 to 2000.

I hit a raw nerve, but of course I knew I would. A simple &lt;i&gt;"You're wrong"&lt;/i&gt; would've sufficed. Instead, you exposed an obvious need to justify your continued participation in a system which has not only failed and continues to fail in every possible way, but also harms children by the millions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;  "Government Schools Destroy Children's Minds" is more than just a bumper sticker I have on my car.  It's a reality. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;  Among many things and aside from &lt;a href="http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2009/06/cash-incentive-florida-schools-cook.html"&gt;YOUR OWN ADMISSION in this post&lt;/a&gt; of how academically crippling the system is, public schools provide a convenient "one-stop shopping" experience for child molesters where children are held captive. They are at the mercy of these predators who flock to these "mandatory" child corrals because therein lies easy prey, and lots of it, too. For a predator, this is exciting because the “hunt” is made easier with a higher “kill” rate compared to the regular Thailand-style, street-trash action. And by default, the parents of these children, by sending them to these hell-holes, have demonstrated to the world their tremendous lack of care, concern and love for their own kids.  Children of parents who don't care for them are vulnerable to the perverts who would exploit their vulnerabilities, initially by pretending to care, becoming surrogate parents so to speak. Later and after trust is gained by the perverts, they begin to molest the kids. Sound familiar? It should: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"And I'm sure you don't know that I think of my students like they are my own children." &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sick. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;  Any man who thinks this is perverse, and it takes a real sicko to admit it as you did. Real men don't look at other men's children and say, &lt;i&gt;"I think of them as my own children."&lt;/i&gt; That's bizarre, especially since you don't have any children.  You can't make this "parenthood" claim of the students since you have no real understanding of having children of your own. For all anyone knows, your concept of parenting involves molestation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;I know good people who are without children yet have a proper understanding of parenthood and would be excellent parents.  But unlike you, they don't parade themselves as parents of other children.  You don’t possess a smattering of real parenthood, so don't be pathetic in the eyes of 2 billion+ mothers and fathers around the planet because of your unqualified and undignified self-proclamation as being what they are: Real parents. You're a wannabe, which means you aren't.  So again, don't delude yourself, this time with believing you're the parent of other people's kids. The &lt;i&gt;"I'm their parent"&lt;/i&gt; delusion is a poor cover for the obvious: Publik skool teachers are nothing more than glorified babysitters complacent about sucking what they can from the public teat while destroying children, and you're no exception.  In fact, you’re their poster child.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"So are you saying I'm a predator? Me?" &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Yes. And yes. Can it be that difficult for you to understand or believe? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;It wasn't difficult determining you as a pervert; I already knew this simply by your profession and your effeminate &lt;i&gt;"I think I can make a difference"&lt;/i&gt; garbage. (Believe it when I say every publik skool teacher says the same rubbish about his profession.  You all parrot each other and don't even realize it.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;  You don't know me from Adam, but you still told me about your perverted self by revealing how, well into adulthood, you're still confused about the roles of men and women which is naturally obvious, and how they apply to your own life. My 5 and 6 year-olds understand the natural roles of men and women, and you don't. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;And you think you’re qualified to teach? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;  &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Consider this - you are just assuming that I'm attracted to kids because of what? The fact that I'm bisexual? That's really all you got.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;You have no business teaching or even being near children especially when you can't grasp even the simplest of matters understood by children. Further, your confusion in being a depraved “bisexual” – an absolute offense to nature – will only confuse your students as well as encourage them to also be depraved.  &lt;i&gt;(“It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher.” -Mat. 10:25)&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Am I assuming that you’re a pervert because &lt;a href="http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2009/06/high-school-boy-becomes-prom-queen.html?showComment=1245544559478"&gt;you wished you “had the nerve” to be prom queen in your high school and would’ve “worn a dress” to secure the crown wanted by girls?&lt;/a&gt;  Is it safe to assume that you would encourage some teen boy (of whom you helped confuse) to also pursue wearing a dress in order to become prom queen, ya know, &lt;i&gt;YOUR "WISH"&lt;/i&gt;?  You wouldn’t vicariously live through your students like so many of your less emotionally burdened, publik skool contemporaries, would ya? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;You don’t know me – I am a stranger – yet you’ve revealed of yourself these perverse things to me.  (And this excludes whatever is on your blog.)  If so easily to me, then you definitely have no qualms about letting lose your sexual perversion in whatever form upon the students who are like your &lt;i&gt;"own children." &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;  &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"I think that if I positively impact a kids life the world might be a slightly better place." &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;You &lt;i&gt;“think”&lt;/i&gt; it might be a better place?!  Gay koombyah. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;  &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"My favourite moments in the classroom are those where I can clearly see that one has learned something. That moment when it all becomes clear to them. Those times when students have thanked me. Those times when I felt appreciated. I wouldn't trade that for any amount of money and they certainly do make the rest of the nonsense I see during the course of my day worth it." &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;  This is wicked, but let’s test your convictions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Continuing the bad charade of public education is, as you say, &lt;i&gt;“worth it”&lt;/i&gt; if you feel appreciated when one kid finally learns &lt;i&gt;“something”&lt;/i&gt; – out of the thousands who obviously learn nothing.  But let’s be honest:  You don’t care about that one kid or any kids.  It’s the feelings of appreciation you care for because they loosely affirm your existence as a public school teacher, and such affirmations are desperately sought by your kind because your profession is hopeless.  Also, the &lt;i&gt;“nonsense” &lt;/i&gt;you referred to (which is &lt;i&gt;“worth”&lt;/i&gt; your being appreciated) includes of students': &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;rape; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;molestation; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;murder; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;sub-standard “education”; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;harassment, both sexual and in general; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;sexual promiscuity; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;homosexuality; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;stupidity; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;atheism; and &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;rebellion, just to name a few.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;All, however, lead to misery and death and are found in every publik skool, nary a one without 3, 4, most or all others in tow. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;  So then, are your feelings of appreciation worth destroying kids?  Is it worth the humiliation experienced day-in and day-out by the scores of girls who are sexually harassed without consequence every day in your school alone? Is your lust for appreciation worth the school-sponsored degradation of the self-images of these girls to that of mere sex objects?  Is giving children sub-standard education and dumbing them down worth bolstering your ego’s appreciation factor?  Is maintaining the failed publik skool system so you can get your jollies worth turning boys into perverts like you, their teacher, whether by harassing girls or wearing dresses?  And so on, and so on, and so on?   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Answer the questions.  YES OR NO?  They’re not complicated. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;“I practically live by these simple words from VNV Nation - &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;'This is your world. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;These are your people. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;You can live for yourself today, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;or help build tomorrow for everyone.'” &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;  The VNV who?

Maybe they'll come to a greater understanding of Michelangelo's inspiration. Whatever it is, be certain that they won't be taking photos of bloody crime scenes where it looks like a murder has taken place.

Those rooms were full of books, furniture and media. Now, it's all trashed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a thought. Home based learners don't face this problem.

Odds are 1 out of 230 million that an American within the U.S. would ever die of swine flu.  Also, about 30,000 people die from the flu every year and cancer kills about 500,000, both being far more deadly than swine flu, but facts and figures and reason and logic and "good" mean squat to this govt when there are millions of pre-purchased hits of swine-flu vaccine idling in some warehouse waiting to be used on little Johnny who's "safe" in his public skool. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vaccines have been given to students in gubmint skools for years without parents' knowledge.

Don't the kids know they're supposed to do what we tell'em?," one hotshot analyst asked during a phone interview from his mother's basement. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aren't the kids doing exactly what the sexperts are telling them:  Having sex?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Washington Post -- June 18, 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The recent increase in teen births appears to be primarily the result of a decrease in contraceptive use, especially condoms, according to new research out today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After declining for 14 years, the teen birth rate increased in 2006 and then again in 2007, causing alarm that one of the nation's most successful public health campaigns was faltering.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an effort to understand why the teen birth rate was creeping up again, John Santelli of the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and his colleagues analyzed data collected by the federal government's Youth Risk Behavior Survey from young women nationwide in grades 9 through 12.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an article being published in the July issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health, Santelli and his colleagues report that the increase does not appear to be the result of a rise in sexual activity. Although teen sexual activity might have risen slightly between 2001 and 2003, it appears to have remained fairly flat since then, the researchers found.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/checkup/2009/06/why_are_teen_births_rising.html?hpid=sec-health"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/checkup/2009/06/why_are_teen_births_rising.html?hpid=sec-health"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:arial;font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font: normal normal normal 14px/18px arial; width: auto; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8246425657079004040-6864093554332990073?l=colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/feeds/6864093554332990073/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8246425657079004040&amp;postID=6864093554332990073&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/6864093554332990073'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/6864093554332990073'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2009/06/sex-ed-experts-cant-figure-out-why-teen.html' title='Sex-ed &quot;experts&quot; can&apos;t figure out why teen births are rising; Swallow tongues during intense contemplation to rule out sex as culprit'/><author><name>GSDCM</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p6Un4Arr_as/SjP8nYj4wII/AAAAAAAAAB8/oHC-1EiCGQg/S220/fail+begin+1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246425657079004040.post-8153970259076059206</id><published>2009-06-19T00:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-19T01:12:34.059-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cash Incentive: Florida schools cook-the-books on higher grades, kids still pretty dang stupid</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://duhmag.com/images/dunce.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 44px; height: 162px;" src="http://duhmag.com/images/dunce.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Lower Standards, More Money" slogan pays off as students found useful for $$.

The school kowtowed quickly as schools usually do. What's really embarrassing  is that the ACLU made the school officials apologize to the 6th grader and her family.  They're weak and spineless, and why any parent would have his child be subject to these sissies is beyond me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In her report, the 6th grader mentioned that Milk, the dead homo politician, was murdered in 1978.  What the 6th grader didn't tell the class because she probably doesn't know it herself is that Milk, for the last 30 years, has been floating around in hell definitely not having a good time like he used to in San Francisco's dirty bath houses.  This bit of info about theb revered sex criminal was definitely left out of little Mary's class report.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;San Diego 6 -- June 12, 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RAMONA - A Ramona Unified sixth-grader has given her report on gay political icon Harvey Milk to her entire class after the school district apologized for previously limiting her presentation only to students whose parents signed a permission slip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The controversy began in April when district officials cited a policy requiring parent permission slips for sex education classes as the reason why&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;

Perhaps he thought the stunt could be pulled off by invoking the ol' "tolerance" bit with his classmates.  Obviously, no girl wanted that crown at the expense of seeming intolerant of a gender-confused sexual deviant.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;After wearing the crown, Garcia, a self-proclaimed "queen," was disappointed that he hadn't (1) turned into a girl (and still wasn't quite a real boy) and (2) didn't get to dance with the prom King.  According to one of the students, this is the reason students voted for fagboy, "as a joke so they could see the prom king dance with another guy on prom night."  And I can only imagine the overwhelming joy of this queer's family especially of his father and mother who obviously said to themselves, "Wow, my SON became prom QUEEN!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Not only is this disgusting, it was stupid.  Fairfax High in L.A. has shown it's student body is the dumbest in the nation.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los Angeles Times - May 28, 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sergio Garcia stood in the gymnasium and told the senior class at Fairfax High School not to worry: If he was elected, he wouldn't wear a dress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;"I will be wearing a suit," Garcia said, "but don't be fooled, deep down inside, I am a queen!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garcia, 18, spent most of his years at Fairfax openly gay and wanted to be part of the Los Angeles school's prom court -- but not as prom king. He felt that vying for prom queen would better suit his personality, so he decided to seek that crown, running against a handful of female classmates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said it started out as a bit of a stunt and challenge -- he wasn't sure the school would allow it. But his campaign for queen ended up being serious and sparking dialogue about gender roles on campus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days before the dance and election, the contenders gave short speeches on why they deserved the crown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-prom-queen28-2009may28,0,2700821.story"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=7706166"&gt;VIDEO&lt;/a&gt; with lisp and limp wrist:  http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=7706166&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8246425657079004040-1942180441789717223?l=colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/feeds/1942180441789717223/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8246425657079004040&amp;postID=1942180441789717223&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/1942180441789717223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/1942180441789717223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2009/06/high-school-boy-becomes-prom-queen.html' title='Sodomite becomes prom queen; Didn&apos;t know crown was for a girl, not a sissy'/><author><name>GSDCM</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p6Un4Arr_as/SjP8nYj4wII/AAAAAAAAAB8/oHC-1EiCGQg/S220/fail+begin+1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246425657079004040.post-3778782382617369936</id><published>2009-06-13T09:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-13T09:20:03.762-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ultra-sicko teacher previously charged with sexually abusing a girl was arrested for grabbing and video recording his 11-year-old students</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cmsimg.guampdn.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Site=M0&amp;amp;Date=20090609&amp;amp;Category=NEWS01&amp;amp;ArtNo=906090316&amp;amp;Ref=AR&amp;amp;MaxW=180&amp;amp;Border=0"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 253px;" src="http://cmsimg.guampdn.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Site=M0&amp;amp;Date=20090609&amp;amp;Category=NEWS01&amp;amp;ArtNo=906090316&amp;amp;Ref=AR&amp;amp;MaxW=180&amp;amp;Border=0" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;How anyone with a record of being charged twice for criminal sexual assault can get a job as a teacher working directly with young girls he was once accussed of molesting is beyond reason.

Some adults dismissed the statistic as a blip. Others blamed hit movies like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;Juno&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;Knocked Up&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt; for glamorizing young unwed mothers. But principal Joseph Sullivan knows at least part of the reason there's been such a spike in teen pregnancies in this Massachusetts fishing town. School officials started looking into the matter as early as October, after an unusual number of girls began filing into the school clinic to find out if they were pregnant. By May, several students had returned multiple times to get pregnancy tests, and on hearing the results, "some girls seemed more upset when they weren't pregnant than when they were," Sullivan says. All it took was a few simple questions before nearly half the expecting students, none older than 16, confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. Then the story got worse. "We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy," the principal says, shaking his head.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1815845,00.html"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8246425657079004040-7417185681063877236?l=colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/feeds/7417185681063877236/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8246425657079004040&amp;postID=7417185681063877236&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/7417185681063877236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8246425657079004040/posts/default/7417185681063877236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colossalpublicfailure.blogspot.com/2009/06/pregnancy-boom-at-gloucester-high.html' title='Pregnancy Boom at Gloucester High School:  Evidence of No Moral Understanding'/><author><name>GSDCM</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p6Un4Arr_as/SjP8nYj4wII/AAAAAAAAAB8/oHC-1EiCGQg/S220/fail+begin+1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
