Some People Never Change

Gosh, so much happens when one steps away from blogging for a few days, hmmmm?

I guess my stepping back a bit really flustered a few in the "Hope For Windsor" crowd, as one of them had to push back from the trough of self pity and entitlement to leave a comment.

Meeting Time

Meeting time folks...let's see how this goes. Lotta purple in the room.

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?

Open letter on Newpoint Website

Oh the Irony

And now it's time for a dose of humor.

I mean really...I had to share...

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.

Busy Saturday

Pretty full parking lot at the "Last Earned Grade Was An F" school Windsor Prep today. It's Saturday, so no school....wonder what's up?

File shredding? Resume writing workshop for the teachers? Golly gumdrops...if one could only be a fly on the wall.

Board Member Resigns = Rat on a Sinking Ship???

In yet another new development in the ongoing drama of "last earned grade was an F'" Windsor prep, and East Windsor Middle School's management and oversight, we have the resignation of one of the board members.

Let The Games Begin

First meeting cancelled rescheduled...cause suddenly the kids education matters..... TAMPA BAY TIMES

Meeting

Wouldn't it have been interesting to have been a fly on the wall during the meeting at the school tonight?

As the parking lot empties, you have to wonder, do the parents and/or staff feel any more secure with this new alliance...with Alliance Education Services?

Someone on the PTA's FaceBook page looks like they are finally doing some research, and making some connections.

Of course their efforts,are about four years too late, now aren't they? Oh well, baby steps I suppose.

So for now I may just sit back and see what they find. I've been digging, but heck, I just get attacked and told I'm a mean person when I put the info out there. Let's see what they come up with.

But for now, entertain yourself by reading reviews left on the Facebook page for their AGABroward County school:  https://www.facebook.com/AGABroward/reviews/

Did They Do Their Homework?

Just got done reading an interesting article in the  TampaBay Times about the acquisition of Newpoint Education Partners by Alliance Education Services.

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.

Good Morning Boys and Girls. New comments, LOL

So dear readers, another idiot snide reader has left a comment.This one calls itself "Basically Satan" and  has left much to be amused by. Please feel free to play along...

Really, it does lead one to ask, Is your "F" school really worth it?

Let's see, financial discrepancies, high teacher turnover, "F" school, multiple investigations, cleanliness concerns, lack of proper supplies and equipment in classrooms, unstable, undefined curriculum....

$760 Million Paid In...$70 Million and Counting Lost

$760 Million in funding...$70 Million down the drain...and no end in sight.

All this...and Still an "F" School

Do you watch Baynews9? I watch Baynews9? Do you like Baynews9? I like Baynews9.

If you haven't watched, you should. They ran a really neat story today for example:

It's D-day for the F school

   Well folks....that day we all dread has arrived. "F" school Windsor Prep is back in session.
    It has been a lovely and peaceful summer, hasn't it? Or did some of you miss our streets being used as a parking lot, fighting parents ( off course one of this writers neighbors did see two parents going at it this past Wednesday during the open house for kindergarten and first graders...Classy), speeding, stop sign running, lanes being blocked, mail boxes being run over, lawns and landscaping being damaged, and of course the traffic back ups.

Anyone need a job?

indeed.com A local "F" rated school needs an Assistant Principal

$$$$It's All(ways) About The Money, The Moolah, The unlimited Tax Dollars $$$$$

Scroll through and really read the budget amounts. Granted, this is from 2013, but as you read it, know these numbers only increase as enrollment does.

Pages 26, and  27  (especially 27) really show why these guys so selflessly offer to open and manage these schools.  Myflorida.com

Now think about this:

charterschoolscandals.blogspot.com Just to show it's been a long term issue

Charter Schools Don't Need an Ad Campaign. They Need Regulation

Jacksonville.com (Finally!!!)

Now consider this article in The Daily Kos

Not that I'm accusing or implying anything untoward regarding "F" school Windsor Prep. I'm just pointing out issues with Charter Schools in general.

Newpoint Education Partners upholding family values too?

While no convictions, there are A LOT of charges and "questionable" situations, wouldn't you agree. Silly me, of course you would. I mean facts are facts, right?
More arrests possible in Newpoint case

And it appears when the schools fail that there is not a lot of loyalty to the staff:
InWeekly     (which from the behavior many of us have witnessed, I kinda get it)
This a related article to catch you up if you haven't read any previous posts: INWeekly and weartv.com

Additionally, if this is how the schools in other counties are being run, how do we know the 2 "F" schools here in Pinellas County aren't? Hmmmmmmmm Rick'sBlog

Here's another brief, but interesting article. Love the 2nd set of comments especially: ricksblog

And then you start to wonder...is it the leadership? Rick'sBlog: The mystery man behind Newpoint Education Partners

also: Ricksblog.biz
John Stack- Cambridge, Executive Director; Newpoint, Vice President of Ohio Operations

David Stiles- Cambridge, Operations & Development; Newpoint, Vice President of Operations and Development

Carla Lovett- Cambridge, Curriculum & Instruction; Newpoint, Vice President of Curriculum and Instruction

So lying, cheating, misappropriation of funds and equipment, cheating employees out of their rightful pay. Yes, just what all the kids need to be learning, and paid for by our tax dollars. 

Here we go again....Yawn

Well fearless readers, another brand new account has been opened in order to leave comments  insults directed at this author, and this blog. Not untypical, or sadly, unexpected. But then, why would we expect any better?
