Whatever programs the Administration has in place to curb the drug and gang problems in our middle schools isn't working. What we need (like the Administration) is a complete revamping of the system. Maybe they need to pay attention to the "trench" people instead of dictating procedure, programs, and policies from their comfortable chairs totally out of synch with reality.

Man, is it just me or does the black cloud of doom and despair feel like it's been lifted? I can tell at my school that morale is way up from a few weeks ago. And does it seem that the district runs smoother without a super?

I'm tired, and I want to go home! We're doing the best we can at our middle school. Keep the faith...no worries...this too shall pass!

It must be the new drama season; the ever popular soap operas are once, again, being aired and played out in our middle school. The only problem? HE is not Sonny Corrinthous, and SHE is not Emily Quartermaine! Darn.
Dear Bloggers of the LCPS,
As the days are winding down to the end of the first semester, please take time out to stop and look back on your successes. Most of the teachers, and other personnel of this district are hard working, committed individuals who are just trying to make a difference in a student's life. I want to thank all of you for what you are trying to do for the students in this district. Have a safe, restful and enjoyable holiday. Put all of the strife of the first semester aside and focus on your loved ones. A very grateful parent.
I am glad the black cloud of doom and despair has lifted for you. Where I work, the oppression is just coming from a different source. I get to go to work today and get cussed at, yelled at, threatened and disrespected in soooo many other ways it is not even funny. And this is from the students I am supposed to be helping. They behave like that because 1) they have no other way to express themselves, 2) they are used to getting whatever they want and 3) they know they can get away with it. Maybe I should transfer to your school?
Today, as a Reading First school, we were told we could choose between the new reading series Houghton-Mifflin and the old one Scott-Foresman. A choice - now???
How much money did they waste on this fiasco? Research will always prove that smaller class size is better - why didn't we just reduce class size with the funds available or buy textbooks that classes did not have? What Dr. Diaz did was a deliberate and negligent criminal act - she did it only for a "power trip" and now the money is gone. Please don't tell us there is not enough money for books now - there was- and somebody screwed up big time!
