Lies About Public Education (part one) – The Fruits of “Socialization”
Thursday, September 27th, 2012Tweet Yesterday was “Super Hero Dress-Up Day” at Stillwater Junior High School, in Oklahoma. What is the educative value of “Super Hero Dress-Up Day”, other than to get kids to read more comic books, or more likely shell out more cash to see more movies? Perhaps we’re encouraging a sort of vigilante machismo in our [...]
Chicago Teachers WIN! Everyone Else Loses…
Wednesday, September 19th, 2012Tweet Folks, unless you are a public school teacher, you are probably in the wrong business.

But really, looking at how the strike resolved, one can only assume that children, families, even [...]

NEW TEACHERS – SAME OLD PROBLEMS
Monday, September 10th, 2012Tweet I know. I’m sorry. There have been a lot of stories over the past two months about teacher abuses of students. I haven’t written about them.

What Schools Have Come To – Moose Pooh
Tuesday, June 26th, 2012Tweet Oh my. Oh, no. I really don’t know what to say. The Huffington Post (poor people, having to discuss such horrors) published yet another truly repulsive story about a school administrator, teacher, a psycho parent, and a class of kids that should be shipped off to Mars. Folks, really, after yesterdays article (the sunburns…), [...]
Of School Rules & Morons
Monday, June 25th, 2012Tweet A friend, Mary H., sent me this article found at the Huffington Post. I read it and just sighed with weariness. It tells the pathetic story of some truly moronic teacher or teachers following moronic state laws, as they directly contravene the sacred trust we place in schools – their supposed first order of [...]

Saturday, May 5th, 2012Tweet OK, this is HORRIBLE! I’ve gotten a lot of reports recently about abuses in schools – too many to write about, and today I’m trying to discuss children’s rights. That said, this one just can’t be ignored. Take a look at the article at the link below, with the warning and understanding that the [...]
Riots and arrests in a Florida Middle School
Wednesday, March 21st, 2012Tweet Hi folks, It doesn’t stop, does it? A mom who was basically opposed to homeschooling just 2 days ago and who bragged about public schooling wrote me this morning about Azalea Middle School in St. Pete, Florida, where her child went – until yesterday. That’s when a student riot broke out on campus. It [...]
