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?

More Newpoint Education Partners Gloriosity!!!

GLORIOSITY! It may not be a real word, but it is so truly appropriate for this "management company", don't you agree? 

Check out the NBC affiliate in Miami's investigative piece from February:

NBCMiami.com Channel 6  (I especially LOVE the 1:59 mark where they highlight the "F" schools Newpoint "manages" in the state. In case you have forgotten, that would be BOTH of their Pinellas County schools, one of which is the esteemed "F" School Windsor Prep )

Golly Gee

Trolling

So, teachers have tried following by signing on with their kids social media accounts. (Yes..I figured you out, lol.)
Now Mr "Bill, Windsor parent" thinks that by adding a (maybe real, maybe not) last name to a brand new account, that has had no interaction with anyone or anything, qualifies as not anonymous.

Let. Me. Type. This. Real. Slow. So. The. Parents. And. Staff. Of. "F School Windsor Prep"  Can. Follow. Along.

Sound it out. Enunciate. Use phonics if it helps.

Newpoint Education Partners is like comedy gold...

Seriously. It's like the gift that keeps on giving.

Letter from Adam Emerson, Florida Dept of Education to Carla Lovett of Newpoint Education Partners

Boom! Denied!  And lest you forget, these are the guys that oversee "F" school Windsor Prep (insert smiley face, ROFL, etc)

Windsor Education LLC, NewPoint Education Partners, White Hat, and you (or rather your tax dollars

"Is a Florida company run by former White Hat Management employees carrying on the White Hat tradition of poor performance and incompetent school management? White Hat’s problems in Ohio are well documented.

Former White Hat employees launched at least two other companies, Cambridge Education Group and Newpoint Education Partners. Newpoint is affiliated with at least two other companies, Midwest Education Partners LLC and Windsor Education LLC. It’s this last company that seems to be bungling school operations in Florida."

Seriously. Newpoint oversees "F" school Windsor Prep. YIKES!!

You can't make this stuff up.

InWeekly.net

One would certainly hope so: Maybe it's a good idea to know who is really in charge of these schools

Podcast about Charters: http://ricksblog.biz/ps-podcast-charter-schools-cashing-in-on-kids/

and this gem: shady much?

So, to summarize, NewPoint schools have been investigated for fudging enrollment to get more tax dollars, cheating, abuse of students, not being safe, shady real estate dealing to get more tax dollars, running more than a couple "F" schools like Windsor Prep.

It's like a comedy of errors.

Ongoing.....

"Charter schools are just the latest in a long line of get-rich-quick-schemes in the Sunshine State.
 FEE’s Floridian roots do have one undeniable pedagogic function: they make the blatant hucksterism at the heart of the education reform movement much harder to deny. Florida, after all, has played host to more grand swindles than any other state. Charter schools, which are publicly funded but privately run, are just the latest in a long line of get-rich-quick-schemes in the Sunshine State. Beneath today’s noble-sounding buzzwords—achievement, excellence, twenty-first-century skills—are the same murky land development deals, Republican politics, and taxpayer money that have become as emblematic of the Florida landscape as alligators and swimming pools."
The above taken from a great 2014 article: JebFest: The Education Miracle That Isn’t
Pretty much sums the whole Charter Schools game up, and it isn't getting any better.

Or how about this article from SeattleEducation2010 that was posted in 2012: Florida charter schools and the lack of oversight . It reinforces the problems that have been ongoing for a VERY LONG TIME here is Florida.

It's all out there for us to find folks. Not just articles, but FACTS. Research the names, the companies, and the schools. You will be appalled at where your tax dollars are going.

This isn't just about assholes or parking. That's just what started it. And the people who defend the stuff I am discovering should be ashamed.

He calls me out for being anonymous, yet he himself remains anonymous...tooooooo funny.

They do nothing now so why do they need more money?

Does this mean the people who suffer under the rule of the Who Cares How Much It Costs kingdom can actually expect their law enforcement officers to start working?

Maybe  now they can afford to send them to traffic enforcement school.
