Spelling and Grammar not included. (blog about whatever the hell)
When people say it's for the children. I believe they just say that so anyone that questions them looks the villain. I'm beginning to believe that more and more as time goes on. The new administration in the building "the boss" as it calls itself, claims that left and right. It's for the kids, but I'm doubting that. I spent half a year cleaning and fixing a trophy case(the school can redo the principals and vice principal office but god forbid the rest of the school, I wish we had a heater and air conditioner, and a ceiling that didn't leak and when a bad storm hits caves in.) so my students can display all their work from the painting, sketches and sculptures. when boom, I'm told to give it up so a place for the teacher of the year and month can be displayed. leaving my kids with no where to show their work. It really pisses me off, also to it a student who throws a rock and hits a teacher on the head isn't to blame, cause he didn't know better. (bull)
Today it decided that referrals were something it could dismiss and those who send referrals do so to remove a student from their class, because they lack discipline...wow.
I was watching the news yesterday and something, it was a video done by a girl about being bullied that made me tear up. I had a student we'll call him "M" he was mentally handicapped but damn he was awesome, he was so full of life, happy all the time, saw nothing but the positive and wanted to learn everything. He was a kid you'd fall in love with(not in the sick way). Only some students are cruel, they picked on him, I held them for detention called parents, the administration and nothing. Instead of the students who bullied him being held responsible, all the blame was put on "M". because he was treated different, his modifications demanded I did, but that didn't matter. "M" died three months after being pulled from my class, he went for surgery and never woke up. I went to his funeral and it hurt, he was so still, his teachers and friends showed up but no administration or anyone else, the next day the bully students laughed that the retard was dead..but aside from me some other teachers and his friends no one else gave a damn. It makes me wonder, what the hell goes on with administration, a child who took everything with a smile, who didn't understand why people were so mean, even his mother spoke to administration his teachers banding behind her with documentation, but nothing just blame on him. I don't think education is about the students benefit for the future and providing a foundation for any field they choose, exists here.
It doesn't matter that students interrupt class and aren't held responsible that classes are held for the parents to help with learning English. parenting classes help from the school and no one shows claiming inconvenience and it might interrupt with their welfare(some of my students are 3rd generation). Education is about money, it aint about the children.

spring break
I was watching "The Big Issue" on cnn and came to some screwed up conclusion. Children aren't the brightest crayons in the box and if the parents even duller, Darwinism save us. An 11 year old was raped, she's being blamed for it. Why, no idea. My dad would say what was she wearing and how was she acting, you gotta take it into consideration. I don't understand it, but it freaks me out, especially since it was filmed on phone cam, I know that with Middle School children sex-ting is just a new way to break the ice between couples or get the attention of the boy you like....
