The first school in the D.C. area named after the current president opens Monday morning as the school year begins in Prince George's County.
Barack Obama Elementary School opens its doors in Upper Marlboro, Md., for the first time Monday. The school is being touted as being an environmentally friendly "green" school. There have been other schools named after President Obama in the country, but this will be a first in his own backyard in the D.C. region.
That's just one of several new initiatives for Prince George's Public Schools this year. The District also will open an all-male charter school in Upper Marlboro. Called Possibility Prep, the new school will emphasize math, science and engineering. Officials hope that the all-male environment will do away with many distractions and allow students to focus on their studies.
School officials are hopeful that this year's opening will be free of the scheduling problems that plagued the first day of school last year. Last fall, thousands of students were late to class because of a computer glitch that made a mess of class schedules.
BARF! PUKE! YUCK!
Bubba Clinton was a busy bee when he was DIRT-POTUS42.
. . . . I prefer “ WORST PRESIDENT EVER Elementry School “ ,,,,, but I’ll give them a little time to think it over .
“a Realtor told me that 34% of all the homes listed for sale in PG county are foreclosures”
...I didn’t realize it was that high...although I know that this Spring it was the number one county in the state for skips and forclosures.
Barack Hussein 0b0z0 Elementary. Got it.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Shoot me now.
This is sick. We are a sick society.
This is Cult of the Personality. AKA “paper-hanging” society, courtesy of General Patton. Paper-hanging SOBs, they are.
The only reason a site should be named after a currently sitting official is if that official is a local “son”. Even then it’s suspect, but much better than some non-home location using any old sitting official’s name.
“Officials hope that the all-male environment will do away with many distractions and allow students to focus on their studies.”
Wait! I thought sex segregation was a quaint, silly idea promulgated only by evil profit-mongering private schools.
“School officials are hopeful that this year’s opening will be free of the scheduling problems that plagued the first day of school last year. Last fall, thousands of students were late to class because of a computer glitch that made a mess of class schedules.”
Such dependence on computers. Unbelievable. How ever did we do it before 1980?
That is really horrific.
Why anyone thinks that guy is “gorgeous” I have no idea.
“And to think I almost got on their police force.....whew.”
Well, think of all the work you would’ve had!
