But
I know something, in addition to some-"one," at the school was way off. Something was very not right, even if it can't be proved legally. The truth does not have to be turned into blame in all cases, and even in the cases when blame can't be determined, there is still a need to look into the truth. Yes, I know people can have two faces. But you have to always look closely. You have to try at least.
Did the judge actually write
Did the judge actually write “dime backs” instead of dime bags?
No
Did the reporter actually mess that up? Yes. Fixed
The list keeps growing
Unvaccinated teachers, murdering counselors (I realize he didn’t kill him, but close enough), students knocking out their principal, etc. All these things for $1.4B dollars a year! We should be so grateful to have BPS.
Once more
Those that can, do.
Those that can't, complain.
If you have such great ideas on how to fix things, you should run for office.
I can
Therefore my son will never set foot in a BPS because I can afford the best for him. Doesn’t mean I’m not annoyed/embarrassed that such a large portion of my tax dollars are going to such a embarrassment of a school system, and that I don’t empathize with parents that don’t have my means.
I feel
Like BPS not having a system that tracks disciplinary issues and complaints against teachers should be enough grounds for them to hold a bit of responsibility. They hired this man who essentially used his position to prey on then manipulate and recruit vulnerable teens to deal drugs, who he would shoot in the head over $30. Who knows how long that went on and under everyone’s noses. It even states at least one person knew of his assault history on students but they looked the other way. Very scary
Leo got this one wrong!
Leo, Please.... Your ruling covers the backsides of all those persons who hired, recommended or failed to act on protecting our children. Your ruling allows other wolves in sheep's clothing, that we send our children too daily expecting them to be kept safe, to prosper and perpartrate only god knows what other crimes upon.
Judge Sorokin Please Resign.
I hope...
I hope they throw the book at him, and then a roll of red tape.
Counselor should have taken the anger management course he recommended.
If only he'd aimed the gun at himself.
Yes, I *am* a bad person.
Have we won
The most embarrassing school system in the country award yet?
No
Texas.
Links?
Because I have plenty of BPS links to backup my claims.
The State of Texas?
How can the whole state win?
Laws
They pass laws like the one requiring a "balanced" discussion of the Holocaust and evolution. Also, the state board of education that dictates what books schools use, and makes damn sure that none of them say the civil war was about slavery, etc. etc. It's worse than you can imagine.
What is a 'balanced'
What is a 'balanced' discussion of the Holocaust?
To what law are you referring?
The law
The law in question requires that teachers "present opposing views on controversial subjects." Its intent is to require that teachers present Holocaust denial, Creationism, Civil War 'not about slavery', and other reactionary ideas as reasonable.
Here's another law banning the teaching of Critical Race Theory.
[Edit:] That may be the same law as in the first link.
What the…
What the actual hell???
wouldn't think you would need a "policy".
You hire a teacher you call the principal at the old school and get the details. I would think this is standard HR for any job right? Wouldn't think you would need it in a policy but maybe you do.
That is in the normal world.
This is the BPS and it's not even close to being normal.
