Teachers in California School Told to Lower Expectations

Victor Valley Union High School District Superintendent, William Weiner, said teachers need to learn to interpret their students’ body language. “Teacher should not provoke students by asking them for their homework, insisting that they take their seats, or that they refrain from using foul language,” Weiner said. “It’s their school too. We have no right to make demands on them. We can’t expect to confine them to a routine that they reject. And we certainly can’t stifle their freedom of speech just because it is inelegant.”

Not all teachers are comfortable with the new “emphasis.” “They say it’s not a new policy, but it looks new to me,” said a teacher who asked that her name be withheld to avoid potential retaliation for criticizing her superiors. “How are we supposed to teach these kids if they are free to roam about the room, don’t have to do homework and can curse and intimidate us without repercussions?”

Apprised of the dissent within the ranks, Weiner said it was cause for disciplinary action. “We will track this person down, whoever she may be,” Weiner promised. “We cannot abide such disrespectful attitudes.”

In related news, the California Assembly, on a straight party-line vote (43 Democrats for, 27 Republicans against) approved a measure that would send illegal immigrants to the head of the line for state financial aid when they attend California colleges and universities. “Mexicans already suffer from discrimination,” said Assemblyman Hector De La Torre (D-South Gate). “We owe them a break. Besides, this is just a small down payment on the reparations we owe for stealing this land from them over 100 years ago.”

Hector should be removed from office as should the Principal Weiner. Build the fence, build it now and deport these illegals and their parents immediatly. Americans are tired of paying for entitlements for people who don't belong here.

This can't be real. Hopefully, this was taken from "The Onion".

HUMOR BREAK...

I think this is satire. But, it's so close to reality that I wasn't sure at first...

This ping list is for the "other" articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. If you want on/off this list, please freepmail me. The main Homeschool Ping List by DaveLoneRanger handles the homeschool-specific articles.
