LULAC and Rants
I see our Ex-lady of Las Cruces public schools now has the backing of LULAC. What a joke, since she looks down on us Mexicans as sub-humans...beneath her. Why do you think she had to have her little assistant shake hands with people. We are untouchable. LULAC is as big a joke as the ACLU. This is another example of how this witch uses people to get what she wants. Not to mention her lawyer is a (deleted-You never publish that about an attorney! The last comment by LULAC was they want to be sure race was not an issue in her dismissal. You can be sure than Lonnie Briseno would not have voted to dismiss if it was only about her race).

My kids come home every day and talk about what the teachers don't see at school. I agree the drug and gang problem has increased. Its not the teachers fault but someone should pay closer attention to this increasing menace. If anyone comments differently, they are either not in touch with the kids, or they are in denial.

Hmmmm. The writer yesterday must have gone to a different reception for the candidates. I think Connie Phillips will be an immeasurably better school board member than the incumbent we have now. She will at least listen to you and respond to your questions. The current board member either can't or won't respond to calls or emails. It is time for a change. Thank you, Dr. Phillips, for running against Wooden.

What are you talking about? I thought the purpose of this blog was to shed light on supposed abuses going on within the public schools - not for just some abstract rant. This blog really should be discontinued. If you think this kind of rant is going to have any kind of bearing on improving our public schools, you are mistaken. This really does taint this the identified purpose of this blog and more care should be taken as to what is posted here if you want to be taken seriously. Blogger Comment: I agree. A random rant is not productive. If there are specific issues, let's hear them.

About the goings on at the middle schools. Yes, there is a huge problem with gangs, grafitti, fights, PDA, etc. The problem is not that teachers are not watching, the problem is not enough staff to watch everywhere. I work at a middle school. There are between 5-10 teachers out on any given day, for either training or sick leave. We are so short on EA's but they are pulled almost every day to substitute for the absent teachers. We have 2 administrators. We have 1 security guard. We also have over 800 students. Working for LCPS has become undesirable, especially at the rate security guards and EA's get paid. All of that combined means there is no possible way for staff to effectively monitor every area of the school while at the same time ensuring the best education for our students. I think that is one more reason the state should step in...obviously the current board can't fix the problem.
If your children are coming home from school and telling you 'horror stories' maybe you should volunteer at their school. Or maybe you can get your sub license and substitute at their school. All the schools are understaffed and the district needs substitutes. We need more adults visible at all the schools to put a stop to the gang problems. Unfortunately the only parents at school on a regular basis are the gang-banger parents picking up their gang-banger kids.
Maybe if the district took better care of its employees we would have enough staff to keep an eye on the students. There is no longer any reason to work for the schools, unless you are close to retirement, just starting out, or need good insurance. Working for LCPS has turned into one of those 'another day another dollar' jobs that most people do only because they have to. There are some teachers who truly love teaching (I am one of them) but loving teaching takes a back seat to LCPS politics, jumping through hoops for no apparent reason, basically a lot of stress totally unrelated to curriculum. Basically, it's not worth risking physical and mental health for what little amount of money we make. (It is even worse for custodians, secretaries, EA's, security, and food service workers)
Now my blood is really boiling-LULAC is going to jump into this thing to defend a "HINO" (Hispanic in Name Only)?
I am what you might call an honorary Hispanic-Anglo. Setting my Hispanic friends and family as examples, bullying people as if they are in a lower caste than you are, spending taxpayers money on non-approved or unecessary expenditures, firing good employees for personal (not personell) reasons and replacing them with unindicted co-conspirators from fraud cases---do NOT seem to be hispanic values!!!
And as for Martinez, leadership incompetencies, control and abuse issues drove him to a stand off that lost him his job, not being Hispanic. And for Heaven's sake--Gonzalez conspired with board members to rip off the school district for over a hundred thousand dollars while forcing all our kids to wear uniforms in his war on hispanic gangs!!! Since Las Cruces is 65/30 Hispanic/Anglo, I would call all three of these losers "turds in a punch bowl" discriminators against the very people LULAC claims as constitutents.
LULAC, lets get someone who REALLY cares about and loves the Hisapanics in this community, and shows it in word and deed, regardless of ethnicity.
As a longtime Latino in this community, I am disgusted that LULAC has come to Dr. Diaz' defense. LULAC should concentrate on ensuring Hispanics have equal opportunities and that's EXACTLY what she had - an opportunity to do a good job. She failed miserably and was let go. And, why is LULAC talking about the last 3 superintendent's? Jesse Gonzales was not dismissed from this district. He was recruited by Compton California schools and he resigned on his own accord. LULAC - get your facts straight! I'm disappointed in you.
I agree with the comments about abstract rants. If you are so immature that you have to resort to stupid christmas jingles and vauge disertations then you should just shut up and get a life. Everytime these types of comments appear it just strengthens Ms. Diaz position that drastic change is needed. If you are not wise enough to understand that then maybe you should seek alternative employment outside of education and join an organization like LULAC. If this type of discourse continues to appear then maybe Sonja was right and this forum should be discontinued. In either case the children of this district are screwed.
