Coconut Grove Elementary principal under fire for obscene e-mail sent to parent
Sun-Sentinel ^ | 5/14/2010 | Tania Valdemoro

Parents at Coconut Grove Elementary School are calling for the ouster of Principal Eva N. Ravelo this week after she told a parent in an e-mail to "eat sh-- and die."

The controversy, which is now under review by the Miami-Dade County school district's central office, started Monday. Abigail DuBearn, a member of the school's Educational Excellence School Advisory Committee, or EESAC, had asked Ravelo and other council members whether student representatives of the committee "could be notified today and be invited to attend and participate'' at Monday's meeting.

Ravelo, 44, then replied to DuBearn's e-mail with the message: "Advise her to eat sh-- and die." Ravelo spelled the swear word as it appears here — without the last two letters.

Maria Orjeda, the school's reading coach, who spoke on behalf of Ravelo, said the principal meant to send the e-mail about DuBearn to her assistant principal, Ramón Dawkins, instead of DuBearn.

DuBearn could not be reached for comment Thursday.

Ravelo spelled the swear word as it appears here — without the last two letters.

So she doesn't even know how to spell sh8t.

Maria Orjeda, the school's reading coach, who spoke on behalf of Ravelo,

And she needs a remedial-ed teacher to "speak on behalf" of herself,

said the principal meant to send the e-mail about DuBearn to her assistant principal, Ramón Dawkins, instead of DuBearn.

And she doesn't know how her own email works.

I'd call this "Another Reason to Homeschool," as if we needed more ...

Ironic that she sent this message to a member of the “Educational Excellence School Advisory Committee.”

That’s Educational Excellence for you.

Unions and tenure....you can’t get rid of the dead weight in our schools and in our government.

JACK BOOTED SOCIALISTS

They have total disdain for parents - because parents, who have increasingly been marginalized over the years, are soon to be, they plan, out of the picture in regards to their children.

Get your kids out of public schools while you can. These people are following the Socialist take-over playbook. That includes the schools.

WE fight this regime tooth and nail NOW or wake up one morning to find that our kids are "Obama's Youth." (ring a bell?)

ummm ummmm ummmm

One of the most basic email problems today is the inability to know how to reply to a specific sender. So often they hit “reply all” instead of “reply” and “reply” instead of “forward”.

Imagine! The parents (and PTA) actually think they should have some control as to how THEIR children are taught by those who are PAID by the parents. No wonder Union-Thug-Principal is upset.

"...Oh......union employee..."

Probably not. She is a principal. I have never heard of a school district having a unionized administration.

Nope, Vice/Asst. Principals and Principals are not members of the teachers union, at least not in MO. They are considered administration

Most all school principals were former teachers. Thus union thugs.
