Solving the school lunch problem and lazy public school teachers

...last month a student was suspended for wearing an "all lives matter" shirt to school. We've simply got to get a grip on our educational system and turn it around, because it's become an indoctrination system, not an educational system (check our kids' statistics). There isn't much time left, and this is the election to get started. Any mothers out there who vote for Hillary will be voting for more of the same for their children, and you simply cannot do that. ...

What has your district cut back on? So far we have cut over 250 teachers and nearly 50 admin. jobs, extended the furlough days, cut 4 instructional days out of next school year, increased class size yet again, cut coaches supplements and completely cut out middle school sports for next school year. Elementary PE, music and art are also potentially on the chopping block. ...

This Senator is crazy! Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) attempted to convince pastors that economic issues are moral issues at the Greater Freedom Rally at a church in Spartanburg, South Carolina yesterday, imploring them to help conservatives retake Congress in November. In addition to reiterating anti-choice talking points on abortion and backing "traditional marriage," according to the Spartanburg Herald-Journal, the senator went further and "said if someone is openly homosexual, they shouldn ...

Hey, Michelle, you were elected by NO ONE. Stay out of our schools. HA!! link ...

Details are sketchy but the gunman is dead. They haven't pieced the whole thing together yet, so keep informed. Some news items are saying multiple deaths, others 1 death, and still others just a teacher or principal were dead. ...

Too soon to report on motive, but students ended up in the closets and parents are being notified to pick up their kids at the football field. http://www.local12.com/content/breaking_news/story/Two-People-Hurt-in-California-School-Shooting/lL5RWh88Hke4JR3P1YQzCQ.cspx ...

I am currently looking into returning to school like so many other MTs out there. There are programs where you can get an Associates Degree in Healthcare Management (basically medical records), which I am really not interested in because, as I see it, most hospitals are trying to cut down their medical records departments to as slim of staff as possible, plus with the integration of EMR, I just do not see this being a lucrative field. IF, big big IF here, I were to enter into this pr ...

I made sure that I taught my son to read, add and subtract before he began kindergarten. I talked to the principal at the public school to see if they can accommodate him or if she thought I should look in to public school. She assured me that they wanted my son at thier school and that they would be sure to keep him busy and learning. So far, he has learned nothing. They do not have him reading. They only have him identifying letters, which is something my 2-year-o ...

Just got a phone call from my 4th grade daughter's teacher. My daughter is in trouble for selling a Sillybandz to another child for $1. The teacher said it was price gouging and wasn't "fair" (rolleyes) Time to teach some economics. ...

It is that time again. School is about to begin and we will be sending our children into the classroom to be with educators who we think are safe for our children to be around. Please, please, please, listen to your children. If they feel uneasy about a teacher/situation, listen; and do something about it! At the end of the last school year I posted on this board because I felt and my child felt uncomfortable about changing a shirt in the classroom for a field trip. Almos ...

<sigh> When will this craziness end!? ...

My daughter is 9 and is in her last year at the local elementary school. Next year she will go to the intermediate school and my plan is for her to ride the bus. There are several girls on my street that go to the intermediate school and two of them visited me yesterday after school when the mom of one of them was running late getting home (since I work from home, they know I don't mind watching the kids for a little bit from time to time). So the two girls ask me for advice about a ...

Looking into going back to school, but trying to decide which career choice to make, although only one is probably optional at tihs point as I have to work while going. Anyway, I have filled out my FAFSA for one school and it was sent, but I am not registered as of yet. Now I want to fill out another FAFSA for the other school that I will probably end up going to, but a friend of mine told me I can't fill out more than one FAFSA for different schools. Is this correct? I don't thi ...

no freaking clue what to go for though! I have 2 classes to get my associates. I don't know where to go from there. Everything I can think of just bores me to tears. I would only have 2 years to get my batchelor's but what on earth could I study? THe only thing I think i would like is Vet tech but that doesn't even pay as much as MT. I have also thought about social work but I just don't think i can do that anymore. Plus there is no $$ in that ei ...

42 years after graduation and apologized to me for making fun of me in school and asked me to forgive him, which I did. Hadn't thought about him in FOREVER, but evidently it bothered him. ...

How tragic at least 15 day in a school shooting at a community college in Oregon. When will it stop and how do WE make it stop. These kids just started school the 28th and had their whole lives to look forward to. Now, they some wack job has taken that away from them. How utterly heartbreaking. My prayers and love go to those who have to endure the pain of this tragedy. ...

Listening to Rush this a.m. He was saying Michele Obama should abandon her attempts at improving nutrition in the schools. He said children refuse to eat the tofu that Michele wants them to eat. What is the point of warping this discussion beyond recognition? I visited my nephew's school and I was appalled at the school lunch. Chicken nuggets and pizza, etc. I have never heard Michelle talk about replacing this junk with tofu. Why not just go ba ...

A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an "older man." At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse. That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama's "safe school czar." It's getting hard to keep track of all of this president's problematic appointments. Clearly, the process for vetting White House employees has broken down. I ...

I went to a junior high school that had been added on to so many times, there was often no way to get from one side to the other on the same floor without going down one level and back up another. Well, we had this tunnel going to the cafeteria. My girlfriend and I hated the principal so we decided to get even. We brought eggs to school and egged the tunnel going to the cafeteria then took off running to the gym. We were dying laughing. We were about 13 or so. ...

I am considering returning to school but I have no idea what career to pursue. For anyone in their 40s who has started back, can you give me some insight as to how you decided upon your career, how difficult it is for you in general, are you still working while going? I absolutely stink at math so I am terrified in that aspect but otherwise not really worried about it. Any information, ideas, advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated! ...

I'm considering doing the virtual school for my son next schoolyear, which will be his 6th grade year. He's struggling this year in 5th grade and I'm worried that he might not be ready for middle school in August. In my state, GA, we have an online public school that sounds very good. I'm just wondering if anyone, from any state, has any experience with this and what your thoughts are on this type of education. I'd love to put him in a private school (I think) but right ...

I really want to go back to school but I am a single mom with a mortgage. Has anyone in my situation gone back to school? Does anyone know of any aid or programs to pay for school and help me pay my bills? I think I am living in La La Land thinking I can do this!!! ...

I have no college education save for a couple algebra classes I took for fun 20 years ago (I always was a bit of dork). At 51 years old, I have been doing MT for about 28 years. Out of high school I started in the kitchen of the local hospital, moved to a nurses' aide, and then moved to the hospital-trained transcription department, so I don't really have previous 'career' training. Are any of you going back to school starting from scratch, so to speak?&n ...

I haven't told my child about Conn. She is not ready for that tragic reality. If I don't send her this week and wait until after the holidays, I risk jail time for noncompliance of state education laws. But all they will do this week is holiday things and not focus on the usual schedule. And she will hear about these things at school instead of me. She is not exposed to TV or radio, or as yet, any friends who might talk about it. I got an email from the pr ...

A 5-year-old suspended for terroristic threats with a bubble gun???!!!!!!! How ridiculous is this getting? Then to question the girl for 3 hours without a parent present. Totally ridiculous---and for those on this board that state that this school did the right thing----well, all I can say is get your head screwd on straight. A 5-year-old doesn't even know right from wrong in most instances. If that was your child, how would you feel? Attorney: MCA suspended girl for mention of ' ...

When I saw "Job Prospects are Dimming for Radiology Trainees," I was concerned because I was considering going back to school to become an x-ray tech or sonographer. However, the NY Times article is referring to actual radiologists and the fact that their job market is taking the same kind of downturn as the one for MTs. The words "sweat shops" actually appear in this article. While the author downplays the role of offshoring to foreign entities, we all know that is the next lo ...

So on Sunday I talked to the two moms and let my friend know about what I heard the two girls say. I saw one of the girls on Monday and asked her about the boy who had thrown the punch. She said he was not on the bus, but was at school that day (any number of reasons he was not on the bus) and the regular bus driver did not drive on the way home. I didn't ask about whether or not her mom went into the school or reported it. Today I had to go to that school for orientation in an ...

that they are questioning and 20 other friends of his. It is said that he has associations with people in Hamas. He is not arrested...they are questioning him. They are working on other leads, too. Yesterday, the news stated they were going to interview a man with a Saudi Arabian background that was injured in the attack...but the police were denying that. ...
