Washington state public school spins coffin as isolation booth

Image
No matter how you slice this crap pie, it's still a padded coffin and children are being stuffed into it as a disciplinary tactic. Some people are just evil and this is sick beyond words. In case you were wondering why hordes of children are coming out of public school so screwed up they can't function in today's society, this is just one of those many reasons. Maybe it's time to start locking the teachers and administrators in these so-called isolation booths to see how they like it. Think it would change their ridiculous behavior?  If you locked your child in a closet like this at home you'd be arrested for child abuse, so why is the school allowed to get away with this shit? Heck, you'd probably even be arrested if you did this to your dog. No decent parent would allow their child anywhere near a school that does crap like this...PERIOD!  This is a coffin, no matter how you spin it! The people responsible for putting a child in this contraption are evi...

Truancy issue squashed with Parent-School Compact

Image
When our daughter was 10 years old, the truant officer arrived at our home. To make a long story short, we were 'squealed on' by the state's home-study coordinator (also a homeschool mom) who was jealous of the attention we were receiving from the media and organizations inviting us for speaking engagements. She felt, as Home-Study Coordinator, it was her job to speak for homeschooling in Vermont, not us. Along with the principal of our local school and its superintendent, she knew were were not enrolled in the state's home-study program. After that green-eyed bee in her bonnet stung her repeatedly, she figured it was time to grab some attention for herself and her Department of Education cronies. Once the truant officer left our house without my signature on his Failure To Attend School Notice , I decided to compose my own contract for the local school officials. I call it the Parent-School Compact . I met with the school principal a few days later and presented him wi...

Can your child still learn without electricity and gasoline?

Since Hurricane Sandy recently visited the East coast, the headlines keep getting creepier and creepier. Take, for instance this one from the New York Post: Chaos reigns at free gas fiasco “The guidance is to get gas to first responders, but we’re also pushing regular people through,” admitted Captain Terry Benson of the National Guard’s 69th Infantry Regiment. But regular people like Belaniel Daley were fed up. “I’ve been at the front of the line for 2 1/2 hours and now they want to move the tanker and they’re just giving to the first responders, who I’m sure are getting gas for their family and friends,” said Daley, 45. “I need this gas to get my kid to school.” After living through Hurricane Irene here in Vermont in 2011, it's not difficult to understand what can transpire during the aftermath. Basements get flooded, businesses get destroyed, whole homes get washed away and people die. The world, as you know it, is gone. There are weeks and weeks of mucking out toxic mud....
