Let The Trials Begin

Looks like the criminals that ran Newpoint Education Partners, and the great con known as  Windsor Prep/ East Windsor Middle Schools are all finally starting  to get their days in court.

Steven Kunkemoeller will be the first, with many subpoenaed to testify...buckle your seat belts folks...

So Are Charters Really Better?

Just look at this report out of Orange County after school grades were released.
Yes, several charters are thriving..but conversely so are public schools.
However, statewide they have a higher failure rate.

I do agree we need to improve the testing and grading process, but maybe we need to stop funding these private enterprises and focus on getting back to basics at public schools.

Fewer Equals Better

Just a quick link to a post on redefinedonline.org

Interesting

More people, school boards, counties, and states need to start standing up to charter school groups, lobbyists, and greedy legislators.

More Indictments

Just thought I'd post these here in case anyone stops by..

Marcus May Indicted on racketeering charges

and Not surprised by this

Such a pretty picture

Yet again, I am reminded of what a gem this operation was..it was all about the children, damn the neighborhood and it's residents. You drove a family out, tried to ruin another, harassed and bullied many...and you still lost.

The best part of it all is that the burden of that lies on all of the Windsor Prep families for not having done any research, and for having invested their children into this quagmire.

And lastly, I bet all the children whom you acted as though they would die if they did not get to attend this school are doing perfectly fine.

What Will You Do Now?

So, Windsor Prep and East Windsor Middle Academy have voluntarily rescinded their charter, effectively ceding the "Hope For Windsor" battle.
Guess that means no more "It's great to be a Wildcat" war cries, huh?

Pot, Meet Kettle

Is this true Windsor Prep? I mean really, one would have hoped that with your well documented experiences, would come wisdom...

Three Years And Counting

There are times when one is truly at a loss for words. Thankfully those times are few and far between for me. 
Gosh golly...where to start. 

Indictments Galore..And The Tax Payers Keep On Paying

What a perfect ending to National Charter Schools Week and Teacher Appreciation Week...You seriously can not make any of this up. 
  So now dear readers...now there are criminal indictments..not just moral ones. Unfortunately none of this will result in jail time for any of the parties involved.

Halfway through National Charter School Week

In a poll conducted this past January, the majority of participants supported better oversight and accountability of the Flim Flam Scam that many charter schools, such as the Formerly Earned an F, but now Falsely awarded a C Windsor Prep Academy, and it's sister school East Windsor Middle Academy have become.

Yet Another Board Meeting

Golly, these past two weeks have flown by so fast, it looks like it's already time for another Board Meeting to plot the future of "formerly and F school,now a fake, unearned C school" Windsor Prep and it's sister school in shame East Windsor Middle Academy.

I bet these meetings are a real hoot too. So much work to be done...plans to be made...hope to be had.

Wonder if they bring shovels to help themselves dig out from under the mess?

Fully Engaged

  Meetings every two weeks, Management company still technically in place, but completely absent, locks being changed, parents trying to take control, deteriorating finances, heavy debt, audits, and more.
 

Another Board Meeting

  There is another Board Meeting tonight at the school...seems like one every couple of weeks lately. 

Will Pinellas County Tax Payers Have This To Look Forward To?

None of us knows if the parents will be able to force a reorganization and salvage Windsor prep and East Windsor Middle School. I'm sure they are working very hard to do so, and oddly, I actually sort of wish them luck.
That said, I wonder, if their efforts fail, is this what we will all have to expect....

D-Day Looming

  Well, tomorrow is D-day for the "Rescue Plan" ordered to be submitted by the school, to the Pinellas County School Board.

  Wonder how that is going to go?
  Will they manage to convince the School Board not to revoke the Charter?
  Will they let Alliance Ed. of Florida take over, or will they award the management of the really an F but awarded an unwarranted C school Windsor Prep, and it's partner school East Windsor Middle, to one of the other sharks management companies circling the water that has expressed an interest?
  Will they shutter the whole scam operation at the end of the school year and just reorganize, apply for a new charter, and reopen as a new school to bilk the tax payers of Pinellas County out of millions more tax dollars?
  Who Knows! So much DRAMA!

Meeting

This Blogger would love to have been a fly on the wall at tonight's meeting. We neighbors are all looking forward to hearing the update from Mark Douglas  on WFLA.

I've been doing some digging myself. This new company Alliance Education Services really has their information locked down, but the dots are all there to connect if you're patient ( and determined).

I wonder if they were more forthcoming at the meeting, and how many questions were really answered...or there more questions now as a result?

Charter Schools Are Money Machines

It kills me when I read articles or posts from gullible parents who actually believe that Charter Schools exist for the kids.

I. Just. Can't. Even...

Read this from the Tampa Bay Times

Research...Vote...Stand up for what is right. These are our tax dollars, and the Senators and Representatives work for us. Yet we are giving them all of our money.

ONE MILLION $$$ IN Debt And Counting

Oh dear readers...the "Last Grade Earned Was An F, but now the State granted them a C " school Windsor Prep never lets us down, now do they.

So...lets check out this interesting story regarding the latest investigation into Newpoint Education and Windsor Prep.  It's comedy gold folks!

These Are The Kids This School Produces

  Oh look...new comments. This latest round of nasty comments comes to you courtesy of a group of middle school age brats kids who attend "Earned an F" school Windsor Prep and/or East Windsor Middle School. 
  This was made painfully obvious by the poor spelling, lack of proper grammar, and liberal use of insults and curse words. 

1st comment comes from  "Lynsey D." -
"Okay first of all... GROW UP!! And second of all. Are you serious?? This is a elementary and middle school for kids and your like what? 50-60 years old! Quit complaining and grow some! Quit taking pictures of all the students like.. Petifile much! and don;t even try and lie about it because I have proof of you doing it. Also you think our school wouldn;t stand up for it, Oh maybe because we actually act like were mature enough and don;t got time for you! 
on Good Morning Boys and Girls. New comments, LOL"

 Doesn't she seem like an articulate, intelligent, little princess?
 Looks like big new words, like "petifile" really throw her for a loop though. 
 Linsey dear, the word is Pedophile...just sayin. Insults are far more effective when the receiving party isn't laughing at your inability to spell. 
  Also, maybe you should spend a wee bit more time studying not just spelling, but also things like grammar, and sentence structure. Perhaps then your school could earn higher than an "F" when you all test, and not have to rely on the state having to do them favors.
  You may also want to get your facts straight little girl, I haven't taken any pics of kids..just cars...unless cars are enrolled at your pathetic precious school.If so, maybe the test scores will go up.
  Lastly, if you haven't got time for this, then why leave a comment?
Also..bring your "proof" because I'll bet you're wrong in who you think this is. ( see how I added that apostrophe?).


The 2nd comment comes from "Unknown"-
"You really,REALLY,disgust me,you awful peace of trash. Listen Soccer mom. Its been over a couple years since the school has been built and we gave you the 3 months of summer to move your fat ass out. 
on New Comments, What A Hoot"

Oh, you "gave me the 3 months of summer to move"? How gracious of you. I guess I was just too busy hauling those imaginary kids of mine to those imaginary soccer games to bother. By the way, I didn't know "soccer mom" was a heinous insult.(hint..it's not) 

3rd comment was left by "Captain Chris", who is also apparently the unknown from above. 

"I;ve never heard of a petition from the school nor can i find one when i google it.What is this petition? 
on Is The Petition On The Up and Up?"

  Soooo, let me get this straight. You are clever enough to find this blog, and to leave nasty insulting comments on it, but you aren't clever enough to click on the two links in the very post you commented on which would have taken you to the two petitions? 
  And doesn't it  just show the self entitled hypocrisy this child possesses, that he/she would then ask for the links? 
Thank you for proving all of my previous posts.

4th, and most colorful pair of comments were left by "Y"-
"You;re a MOTHERFUCKING BITCH with no life and nothing to do except stalk children who are trying to get an education. Some people even think you;re a child abuser. BITCH. 
on Good Morning Boys and Girls. New comments, LOL

and then they left this 
"Boo hoo if you hate the neighborhood so much move your ass somewhere else, And get a life you psycopathic stalker. You;re an ugly ass petafile with no respect for other people. You don;t know how to mind your own business and you take pictures of innocent children. You. Are. An. Ass. HOLE. 
on Good Morning Boys and Girls. New comments, LOL"

  HaHaHaHa. The spelling is adorable. 
  Boy kids, these big, complicated words really just crush you, huh? 
  I also love the irony. You want to post comments full of nastiness and insults but it's the other person who has no respect for others? Here's a new phrase for you ( and no, I don't expect you to be able to spell it), "self awareness much?". 
  By the way, asshole is one word, and petafile is actually spelled pedophile.You're welcome.

The last set of comments may be the best. They were left by "Crystal B."-
"you need to stop this school may have its bad days but it is actually a really good school so u need to hop of the internet and leave our school alon we are a "c" school not an f school you need to take ur old ass and leave thank bye bitch 
on New Comments, What A Hoot"

  Whew! All that, and not one bit of punctuation. Seriously little girl...learn to spell. 
  You may also want to study up on sentence structure like the rest of your friends, but that would mean not sitting in front of the video game console, or playing on Deviant Art. 
  I will say, your pride and excitement over that "C" are adorable. In fact, you remind me of a dog whose been thrown a bone and has to prance about, showing it off.  
  Bye Crystal!

  Now, as far as that "C", that isn't an earned grade. The last grade your school actually earned was an "F". The "C" was issued by the state due to the problems with testing last year. 
  Because the testing was halted, no actual grades could be calculated, so the state issued grades based on an assumption that the failing school might have improved. 
  It's sort of like they're hoping that the school doesn't suck as hard anymore so they are giving them a free pass just in case they don't, without any merit or proof of such. Neat huh? 
 Knowing the history of "Earned an F" school Windsor Prep, and after reading/seeing these children's inability to form a proper sentence, I'd say that was probably not a safe assumption.

   Finally, I must reiterate that these kids are just the classic  example of Windsor/Newpoint progeny here folks. Of course what more can any of us expect?    
  These are the children being raised and influenced by the parents who had/have no problems fighting in the streets, threatening elderly and sick people, who happily parked in peoples yards, damaged private property, block fire hydrants, jammed up streets to the extent the neighborhood was paralyzed daily. keeping emergency crews from being able to respond, and more.
  The staff ( what remain of them that is) are no better, and the school continues to fail these children by not keeping the promises they made to them.
   I'd say their parents should be proud, but from the whiny, angst ridden drivel posts on their social media pages, it seems their parents probably don't care.Guess they are too busy planning spaghetti dinners, lol.
  Boo Hoo. Guess they will have to spend a few hundred more wasted hours playing video games and creating bad artwork.

New Comments, What A Hoot

Ah dear readers, the wonderful people associated with the classless organization that is the "F" school Windsor Prep can always be counted on to be charming and erudite.
