I just pulled up this schools report card on line and imagine that - the

scores are lower than the state average ACROSS THE BOARD!!!!!!!

so - at the next school board meeting I will bring this up - I am in the

progress of writing a Letter to the Editor -

here is a funny that should crack you guys up

we moved here 7 yrs ago and I was just getting ready to have Bradley

so - there was this dog that would crap in our yard EVERY DAY!!!

drove me insane - it lived on the other block and we called them, my

dh went over there, and we called them and we called them etc.

so i told the guy the next time it happened - I was bringing over

dirty diapers and dumping poop in his yard to see how he liked it,

so they put up a fence and the dog still would get out and come over

occasionally - well. . . . . . .

i find out this owner is the Mayor - typical - right?? hahaha

THEN - he has the nerve to comment at a public meeting that people who

don't take responsibility for their own animals - and let them go to the

bathroom in other people's yards should be fined and have possible jail

time - DO YOU BELIEVE IT????? (it was in the local paper)

So I wrote a letter to the editor and said

it was comical and ludicrous because his dog was the neighborhood menace

and it had been using my yard as a toilet for 4 years - I drove down the

street the

next day and 3 of the neighbors were clapping HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

so he wrote an immediate rebuff and said it only happened one time and he

took

care of it - i didn't write back because we all knew he was lying and i

figured the

paper wouldn't let us " argue " in such a public way - SO - I went to a school

board meeting last year and guess what?? He is the director of early

childhood and federal/state programs - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If looks could kill - I would not be sitting here writing this today.

ROFLOL!!!!!!

so - although i hate to do it - i think my best plan is to move - i have

better

things to do with my time than fight these idiots for the next 12 years -

thank you for your ideas and support - it means a lot!!!

Dear Dawn and Kathy,

You are right, Kathy, khaki is a color. But most pants sold as " khakis " are

made of a lighter weight twill fabric than most jeans. Perhaps that's what

the teacher was focusing on. In any case, your superintendent's dress code

is ridiculous. If his policy were taken to its logical extreme, teachers

would be carefully examining each child's clothes to see whether the fabric

they were made of had a certain number of threads per square inch, a certain

fiber content, etc. Perhaps they would have color charts to check whether

each child's clothes were dyed the exact shade of blue and khaki required by

school rules! These rules make the school sound like a prison or a reform

school, at the very least! If the superintendent cares that much about what

student wear, I think he should provide the kids with uniforms at the

school's expense. Federal law entitles them to a " free and appropriate "

education, after all, and he is making it something other than free. His

dress code appears to be costing parents extra money. A legal argument

could be made that he is also depriving children of an appropriate

education, since more attention is being focused on their clothes than on

what they are supposedly learning. Also, the Individuals with Disabilities

Education Act says that children with disabilities are supposed to be

educated in the " least restrictive environment. " If his dress code isn't

restrictive, I don't know what is. Sounds like a good opportunity for a

class action suit, if you ask me.
