Actually, many of us singled out and ostracized by administration employed rich, challenging curriculum that lead students to excell. State and national recognition followed. It is unfortunate when people slip into discriminatory language. We understand that some of this information might be disturb to the public.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-34810455599571672982008-03-20T10:37:00.000-07:002008-03-20T10:37:00.000-07:00Ralph,My ass got canned because I was standing up ...Ralph,<BR/>My ass got canned because I was standing up to the bullying principal and office manger. They had been bullying the staff for 2 or 3 years. When I witnessed them bullying 2 students, I made a public (e-mail) request that the bullying of me stop. I was attempting to protect the STUDENTS of MMS from further bullying by the administration. <BR/><BR/>I succeeded in that both the principal and office manager found jobs "someplace else." Upper management (and union), however, decided that, in spite of my having tried to get the situatuion resovled by other means for the previous 2 years where they were not intersted, that I was a threat to their leadership. Ultimately, I know who did what (or didn't when they should have) to whom and I am therefore a threat to their job. <BR/><BR/>So the guy who has the nerve to face down the bully (me) gets fired. Unfortunately, the principal has turned up in another district's head office. At the very least, he has no direct contact with students any more. <BR/><BR/>I am perfectly willing to accept MY responsibility in this mess. Limon, Houser, Bradshaw, Osborne, Wilson and Woods have not. If I am a "kook" because I tried to protect YOUR students, then I accept that label proudly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-40012091630257417242008-03-20T07:26:00.000-07:002008-03-20T07:26:00.000-07:00Is that "Ralph" the name or verb?Is that "Ralph" the name or verb?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-41226904666247140502008-03-19T19:29:00.000-07:002008-03-19T19:29:00.000-07:00You got it wrong - this is clearly an effort by pu...You got it wrong - this is clearly an effort by public officials to be polite to a kook. <BR/><BR/>There's tons (probably too much)"accountability" loaded on top of public schools. <BR/><BR/>But maybe it's not all bad, I'm guessing accountability is what got your ass canned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-91124460064027732272008-03-18T22:11:00.000-07:002008-03-18T22:11:00.000-07:00It's a matter of "passing the buck."

Perhaps it would be in their political interest (their continued service as legislator) to try to determine who should be accountable and create a law that will settle the matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-85329847269290649502008-03-18T21:32:00.000-07:002008-03-18T21:32:00.000-07:00The same thing that's wrong with the picture on hi...The same thing that's wrong with the picture on his computer screen.
