Re: Charlyne check this out, Is Your School Infested With Ed Lice?/Irma

[Guest guest]

Hi Irma,

Thanks for the laugh. I am in the process of getting all the documents in order,

filing date is January 2, Happy New Year to me. I am opting for an open due

process hearing to give sped parents and sped related professionals the inside

scoop on hearing procedures etc. I would invite television coverage if I could

pull that off, LOL. I will keep the list informed on the details of the

proceedings as a learning experience. Let me know if anyone objects. I will

e-mail privately if that is a concern to other members.We have all made our sped

mistakes but hopefully learn from them as we encounter issues. Zeb's attorney is

not a litigator so this will be a cooperative effort. It will be a true test of

my sped knowledge and ability unfortunately with that emotional piece attached

being Mom.

Is Your School Infested With Ed Lice?

Parasite - An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a

different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its

host.

Head Lice and Ed Lice are common problems faced by schools. Ed lice

are parasites closely related to Head lice. They feed on unsuspecting

parents and children. They feed exclusively on tax dollars! Their

bites often result in an allergic reaction. Some humans tend to react

more strongly to ed lice bites (they become sensitized), while others

may never react no matter how many times they are bitten. In those

instances where infestations are heavy and people are bitten many

times, the bites are so annoying that a person will lose considerable

sleep, and they may suffer from household and academic deficiencies

due to the loss of tax dollars.

Because of their inconspicuous nature, Ed Lice can be transported from

one school to another by TASB, TASA, education conferences, and a

variety of other ways. Once in, Ed Lice can hide almost anywhere. As

one might suspect, they tend to be found around school budgets and

contracts, hiding in school finance lingo, land deals, and

construction costs, but they can also be found behind special interest

legislation, under consulting contracts, and even behind statements

like " We're doing it for the kids " .

Control of a Ed Lice infestation requires the careful examination of

motives, promises made and kept, curriculum and school financial

records. Because Ed Lice are inconspicuous, most humans do not know

they have been infested. Many humans do not recognize the symptoms of

Ed Lice, but do have a general feeling that something is not quite right.

Many humans, unable to shake the feeling, will move to another school

which may also be infested. Other humans will ignore the symptoms,

thinking it is just in their head, which only increases infestation.

The only effective extermination method is to shine a spotlight

directly on the Ed Lice. They do not like being under a light and will

first try to hide. Perseverance is the key to effective extermination.

Parents of infested schools must continue shining a light in all

corners of school finance until they run the Ed Lice out of their

schools. Unfortunately, like cockroaches, Ed Lice tend to scurry to

the next host and infest neighboring schools.

Constant vigilance is the only protection against resident Ed Lice and

migrating Ed Lice.

Ed Lice are equal opportunity parasites; they do not respect

socioeconomic class distinctions. Their presence does not denote a

lack of parental care.

How can I treat a Ed Lice infestation?

The most important step in treating an ed lice infestation is to treat

the infested school or school board with constant supervision,

spotlighting any suspicious activity.

Prevent Reinfestation: Ed Lice are most commonly spread directly by

TASB, TASA and other educrat-friendly mechanisms. Any change in

school leadership is a possible point of reinfestation. Only vigilant

parents, teachers and good administrators, working as a team can

prevent reinfestation.

Avoid school board members and employees who provide " feel good "

explanations for lack of fiscal accountability or responses to

reasonable questions. All answers should be backed up with meaningful

numbers and data.

Warning:

If you find this offensive, you may be infested.
