Update for the People

Latest update.

The reporter was so beautiful I decided not to even bother fixing my hair. 

The Bane of My Existence

A New Haircut

Sorry to beat a dead horse but here is one more video that shows the district's side.

Does not include my reference to our 6th grade scores outscoring every school so it makes it sound like he has data and we have touchy feely, but at this point, maybe touchy feely will get us a few more supporters.

What do you think of my new haircut anyway?

Last Night

Wow.  The show of community was incredible.  Check out this site and click on the video to see it live.

Does it seem like the 60s?  My mom would be proud.

Incidentally, I didn't march, I just met people there since I was nervous about presenting.

More propaganda

See if you can find my daughter in this vid:

Don't Close Our School

You have to click the little teeny link next to the closure sign that says "Video High"

Hi Lee,

I feel concerned with Casey's behavior at lunch time recess.  For the past few days he has been playing a game in which the goal is to push the other person over.  Clearly this is not allowed and I have explained to the group that they are not able to push several times. 

Please talk to him and let him know this is not ok. 

Thank you,

Classroom Aide

Dear Classroom Aide,

Wow, thank you so much!  I will talk to him for sure, I agree that is not appropriate nor encouraged.

Is he the instigator in this game or are there other boys playing with him?  Are there younger children involved?  I would like to know what questions to best ask him.

Thank you again for being proactive, and let me know if you do not see a change immediately.

Hi Lee,

Casey has been hanging out and playing with *Jose, Jesus, Josue and another boy I don't know. 

They are all playing and active participants.  Jose has continued to be defiant and it has taken an "umbrella" effect where the other boys follow his lead.  They call it "cow tipping" and it is not ok.

A reminder that the lunch time supervisors (specifically, among all staff) need to be respected, and that the game needs to stop would be appreciated.

I will talk to Jose's mom also because it is not ok for this game to continue.

Thank you,

Classroom Aide

*Names have been changed to protect the victimizers

Thank you!

My girls love it and so do I. Meg will never get this quilt or pillow
away from the other ladies of the house.
