Forth Wayne Community School bullied my son over politics.
WOWO ^ | April 24, 2018 | Darrin Wright

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): A Fort Wayne man is accusing his son’s 8th-grade Spanish teacher of pushing a political agenda on students.

In a WOWO Exclusive, Todd Hein tells us his son was shamed, bullied, and given an extra assignment by his teacher, Sarah Ford, at Blackhawk Middle School, after he cited Fox News as his source for an assignment.

“She decided to walk up to him and in front of everybody, told him Fox News is fake news, it’s full of lies… and gave him a new assignment, to look up any of the ‘many lies’ Donald Trump has told as President of the United States, and do a full page report on that,” Hein says.

Hein says he doesn’t care what the teacher’s political views are, as long as they’re not forced upon students:

“They don’t need to listen to that in a Spanish class, of all things. I mean there’s no other word to describe it. She bullied our son over Fox News.”

He adds he had a 36-minute meeting with the school’s principal in which Ford admitted to the allegations. However, the district tells Hein they’ve finished their investigation into the matter, but won’t say what their ruling is:

“They said she’d be the only person who knew the outcome unless she was terminated, then it would be presented to the board and it would become a public record,” Hein says.

We reached out to FWCS spokeswoman Krista Stockman for comment. She provided the following statement:

“Fort Wayne Community Schools does not condone the kind of behavior detailed by this parent. When we were notified, we immediately investigated and took appropriate action. Because this is a personnel matter, I cannot provide details of the outcome of the investigation.”

Probably a discussion on parts of the world that speak Spanish, the demographics of those who speak Spanish in the U.S.

I once worked with someone whose Spanish Army ancestor settled near Santa Fe in about 1598. The family still lives on the same land, and speaks the dialect of the Conquistors, Catalan or whatever, I don’t recall. He said he could barely communicate with Mexicans.

Complete unabridged list of Donald Trump’s lies.

The End

See, that was easy! :>)

OTOH, thanks to the teacher, the kid will be more informed. Maybe he can demand to read his paper to the class.

It may be best not to talk to them but then they think they are so brilliant that you don’t dare to contradict them. I like to just break out in a belly laugh at some stupid comment and then after I recover just look at the clown and say some thing like, “You really are an idiot aren’t you?”

English is surprising, in part, because it stabilized in the early to middle sixteenth century to the point where a modern American reader can read and understand a document in English that was printed at that time. That's more than four centuries ago. However, if you go back four centuries before that to the twelfth century, "English" documents are almost unintelligible.

“Why are they discussing Trump in Spanish class anyway?”

Because they were done talking about the awesomeness of the tranny lifestyle?

Or compose a paper of the lies and errors made by CNN in the past 15 months since Trump was inaugurated. Hand that in. Watch heads explode.

Printing press first used mid 1400s? Would explain what came after (stability of writing) and what came before (unintelligible).

You've got it as to the date. First paragraph of Wiki entry on Gutenberg: "Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg (/joʊˈhɑːnɪs ˈɡuːtənˌbɜːrɡ, -ˈhænɪs-/ yoh-HA(H)N-iss GOO-tən-burg;[1] c. 1400[2] – February 3, 1468) was a German blacksmith, goldsmith, printer, and publisher who introduced printing to Europe with the printing press. His introduction of mechanical movable type printing to Europe started the Printing Revolution and is regarded as a milestone of the second millennium, ushering in the modern period of human history.[3] It played a key role in the development of the Renaissance, Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment, and the scientific revolution and laid the material basis for the modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses.[4]" English began to be intelligible to modern readers starting with the late fifteenth century.

The lovely Sarah E. Ford is in the Fort Wayne school directory (img is strange, can't post here). It gives her email address.

“...the Mexican version of the language was horribly mangled and the place to go was somewhere in central or South America, where it was properly spoken.”

My dentist immigrated from Brazil three years ago.
Being that Portuguese is spoken in Brazil I asked how they got on with their Spanish speaking neighbors.
He said that the Spanish spoken in most of SA is close to that spoken in Spain (he’s been there).
The further north you travel the more the language drifts.
The Spanish in CA is a little different but still easily understood.
The “Spanish” spoken in Mexico is an alien mish-mash that he can’t understand. According to him it barely resembles Spanish at all.

His grasp of English is excellent and his accent is barely detectable.
He immigrated because of the soaring crime rate in SA and better economic possibilities here.
He was a practicing dentist in Brazil but had to take his last two years of Dental School again, on his dime.
Best dentist I have ever had.

I put in a bunch of blank lines but the auto editor stripped everything but a double space out. I’ll try some thing like ampersands next time, one per line. The whole thing reminds me of a kid who was assigned to draw a sketch of the most memorable weather event he ever saw. He handed in a blank piece of paper with the title “Blizzard of 1978”.
