Joke of the day...traffic enforcement

ENFORCEMENT
Enforcement may be considered education through experience due to lack of knowledge, error, or careless behavior on the part of the driver, bicyclist, motorcyclist, or pedestrian. Being cited for a moving traffic violation or receiving a ticket is certainly learning the hard way.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO)(hahahahahahahahaha), the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), and 13 municipal law enforcement agencies are responsible for upholding and implementing Florida traffic laws. (That was the funniest punchline ever, huh?)

(Note: other jurisdictions actually do enforce traffic laws...guess their wives aren't the assistant to the Principal like our great ,helpful Deputy Dressbeck's wife is. But that isn't a conflict of interest, huh?)

Such law enforcement covers 25 jurisdictions within Pinellas County . The MPO works with law enforcement by providing traffic crash data which assists them in determining the possibility of placing officers at high crash locations.

School Districts managing Charters?

Maybe things would be better if more local school districts managed Charters. Wait, did I say maybe?

It would certainly lead to better oversight of how our tax dollars are being squandered and manipulated for profit by the shady real estate dealings these schools conduct.

Additionally, it would perhaps prevent "F" schools like Windsor Prep from merely offering the same curriculum as the Pinellas County School district in their "improvement plan", yet still making their parent company TONS of money off the backs of hard working tax payers

Hmmm...what a concept

new subscriber: Second grade F*****g

Yay... a Windsor The "F" School staff member has subscribed to our Youtube Channel.
I believe she is the charmer that used to like to shout out how much her school "rocks" (remember..."F" school.) and mention how she would pray for my neighbors when she in fact would probably burst into flames if she walked into a church.  Keep on spreading the joy to the second graders :)
The more the merrier

This past years "improvement plan"


Of course without testing, there is no way to determine if in fact they have "improved" or if they remain an "F" school.

But do remember, if they do manage to drag themselves out of the "F" zone, it will be thanks to Pinellas County's public school curriculum, and teaching methods.

Now, would that make it great to be "F" School Windsor Wildcats or Copycats? hhhmmmm

Somebody isn't happy...too bad

Seems like some people need to figure out that this blog and this fight aren't going to go away.

No matter how much certain people want to bully, try smear tactics, or harass.

There are more  people in this neighborhood fighting this fight than just the one person being singled out. And she isn't intimidated. Keep that in mind.

Funny...

On the Windsor Prep PTA's they refer to the staff/school as A++ . LOL. Last I checked it was still an "F" school. HahahaHaHa. Well, at least they have a good sense of humor.

Dangerous Dogs

 Has anyone seen those huge, scary looking German Shepherds  that run loose occasionally? They were running in the drop off circle the other day.
 Can you imagine if  dog that size were to have bitten or knocked down a child or a teacher?!
 They are a real menace, and potentially very dangerous.
 My neighbor tells me they run loose all the time and have even knocked someone down before, injuring them.
  Seems the owner ( if he was the responsible type..or at least the type who could handle large dogs like that) would care more.
  Wonder if animal control, or the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office would care????
