Those Born 1930-1979!
TO ALL THE KIDS
WHO SURVIVED the
1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they
were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't
get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs
covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when
we
rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took
hitchhiking
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster
seats, seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and
NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank koolade made with
sugar, but we weren't overweight because .
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING !
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were
back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day.
And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down
the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the
bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem. < /P>
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all,
no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or
CD's, no ce! ll phon es, no personal computer! s, no Internet or chat
rooms.......
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us
forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,
made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it
would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang
the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't
had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.
They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem
solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL!
If YOU are one of them . . CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up
as
kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives
for our own good
And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how
brave (and lucky) their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!
The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:
"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding,
severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and
with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks,"Are we sure this is a
good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"
For those that prefer to think that God is not watching over us....go ahead
and delete this.
For the rest of us.....pass this on.

This will be a great addition to the Vo-Tech school disctict and Delaware public education. Our Vo-Tech school are the best in the nation.
Of course they are the best...they only take good kids...and snub the rest of society that need to attend and learn...

The News Journal today had a very nice opinion piece on education...sharing it for all to read...it holds true to what we need around here!
My wife spent a few years teaching in a mostly low-income elementary school. The main thing I remember her telling me was that parental involvement was a near-perfect predictor of her students' performance. The kids with active parents did well, and the kids with disengaged parents did poorly.
The great bugaboo of education reform has always been the role of parents. But if a child's family determines his educational future, then there's not much point in trying to perfect the school environment. Or so it would seem.
Last Sunday's New York Times Magazine featured a fascinating article by Paul Tough on the conundrum of the education gap between rich and poor (and white and black). The bad news is that this gap is indeed deeply rooted in parenting styles from a very young age. There is a stark difference between the way middle-class or professional parents raise their children and the way poor parents do. The former talk with their children far more, expose them to a broader range of vocabulary, and give them far more positive reinforcement. "The professional parents were giving their children an advantage with every word they spoke," Tough wrote, "and the advantage just kept building up."
OAS_AD('Middle1');
[url=%%c%%?]http://http300.edge.ru4.com/smartserve/click?invocation=4000&placement=pt-2185-034&rid=1685776552&click=&target=INSERT_DEFAULT_CLICKTHROUGH_URL]
[/url]
The good news is that some schools have shown that they can compress this gap with an intensive and properly focused program. A small number of educators have figured out how to drill their students into appropriate behavior and learning. One of the biggest factors in their success seems to be quantity. The students arrive earlier in the day, stay later, and enjoy radically shorter summer vacations.
Now, here is where things get political. Conservatives see these success stories and draw from it the (essentially correct) lesson that it is possible to dramatically improve education for poor children. But, much like the neoconservative belief that people everywhere crave democracy, they take this basic truth as a point of departure into wild utopian flights of fancy.
Conservatives citing these success stories have made their motto "No Excuses"--as if it is only the pathetic failure of the education bureaucracy that is keeping every school from matching these achievements. President Bush's No Child Left Behind law set as its official goal the elimination of the achievement gap between rich and poor and white and black within a dozen years.
What the conservatives don't grasp is that the inner-city success stories are hard to replicate on a mass scale. These schools attract a small cadre of extremely bright and dedicated teachers, often willing to work 16-hour days.
You can find some teachers like that, but you can't find enough to staff every school in the nation, or even just the poorest ones.
There are two main problems with our pool of teaching talent. The first is that it's badly distributed. Schools are mostly funded locally, which means rich districts can easily afford to pay teachers more than poor ones. Tough cites a study of schools in Illinois that found the highest-quality teachers concentrated in the richest schools and the lowest-quality teachers concentrated in the poorest schools.
This is the unavoidable result of making schools raise most of their funding locally. The only way to change this insane system would be to fund schools at the national level.
The second problem is that teachers in general are massively underpaid. Two generations ago, teaching was able to attract a lot of highly skilled women because they were excluded from most professions on the basis of their gender. But as workplaces have opened up to women, schools have lost this vast pool of artificially underpaid talent.
If you want highly skilled teachers who work investment banker hours, we have to pay them like--well, if not quite like investment bankers, then a lot more generously than we pay them now. This is the point most conservatives refuse to accept. They think you can supply the schools with dynamic, extremely hardworking teachers while paying them a fraction of what they could earn elsewhere. They believe that market incentives apply to everything in the world except the market for teachers.
Of course, you do have some teachers willing to make that enormous financial sacrifice. My wife is one of them. But you can't build a national education strategy around relying on the kindness of strangers.

Reading this article reminds me what I see on a daily basis; lack of role models in kids lives. Children become what they see at home. As a person who works with at risk adolescents, I am fed up with seeing the lack of involvement from families, guardians, the community, schools, etc. It is about time people start taking responsibility for the children they bring into this world. Here's a solution; start holding parents or guardians responsible for the kids in their care. One city in Mi. is starting to do just that. Your child gets in trouble, you get in trouble to. The problem is parents and kids realize there is no consequence any more for their actions. If people think the state or schools or communities are going to step up; they are sadly mistaken. Delaware can't even control the rising violence in Wilmington. I am also fed up with hearing, "Oh I have to work too much" or "Life is too hard". Please, if life is hard now, imagine how hard it's going to be when your child winds up dead or in jail. I have driven through Wilmingto after school hours and in the evenings and the common thing I see; kids as young as five running the streets. Did someone forget children that young need supervison? As someone who works with kids, I no longer feel sympathy for parents whose kids are out of control because you know what; parents help create the little monsters. It's time for people to get real and to those who think it involves race, you are so wrong. White kids, Black kids, Oriental kids; they get in trouble to. It's not a race issue, it is a societal issue.

| You know, you got half a staff at your high school frustrated to death with what they have to go through everyday. Nice that your school wants to attract kids through nice on paper programs like Man Up and AP but you got to discipline kids right. Some of the teachers there have told me you got kids there they dont understand why they even are allowed to keep attending, that they are such behavior problems they should be in Stevenson. You talk about this place as gossip. From what I hear, it is truth and I do hear how your superiors tell the teachers not to talk bad about it well simple principle in life is if nothing good happens you have nothing good to say! Start setting some examples over there. Parents in Seaford want you to kick the kids in the rear it would actually be impressive!!!

I am just old enough not to be crotchety to know what a high colonic is...Seaford Schools could use the colonic, both in administration and students...that'd be helped if the d**n tech school would be less restrictive LCR, admit it!
How about someone come up with another alternative education program for all those kids who just don't wanna get with the program??? They have this thing called SCOPE but it isn't effective enough...they need a military academy or boot camp option around here, that'd be great!

| Between you and Seaford Parent.....I can see why there are problems in the Seaford schools. You could both use a high colonic. Ask your mothers if you don't know what that means.

I will state that this will be my last post, since the discussion on this site and its predecessor is fairly pointless.
Referrals going up or going down is not a problem. In fact, referrals mean that teachers are doing their job and holding students accountable for their actions.
The number of referrals being down initially can be attributable to a new freshman class that performed very well during the 1st marking period. There is usually a natural trend upward in almost any public school toward the middle of the year and then a corresponding trend downward after February or so. That climb is usually a certain group of students not complying with the expectations and it takes time until those students either conform, are alternatively placed, or, unfortunately, are required to leave.
If you go to my hallway, where there are 8 teachers and two special education teachers, you would see kids getting to class on time, classes in session, and expectations being met. I can speak to that area because it is the one I teach in.
You know, if you asked me is it perfect, my answer would be no. If you asked me could it be better, my answer would be yes. If you asked me what I am doing to make it better, we could sit down, have a soda, and I could keep you busy for a few hours - as could many of my colleagues. But if you asked me does this complaint blog is helping anything or bringing anything constructive to light...
well, my answer would be no.

Oh Mr. Chapman, that would be just the political response I would expect from you...read your own words...they SHOULD NOT CLIMB AT ALL! If Seaford knew how to truly take care of its own, it would be a better world, but they do not anymore!
There is no gossip only truth...half this community knows its secondary schools are failing and why they are failing and have sent their kids to greener pastures.

Identify yourself. I am a faculty member and speak with administrators frequently. Referrals are DOWN, but beginning the normal climb as we head toward winter.
Gossip is so infectious and often so wrong.

Ask your school district administration and school board members to implement ZERO TOLERANCE and stiff consequences in the schools! Stiff discipline is the key to a better future! It takes discipline to win on the sports field right? Then why not make it show in the classroom??
I'll send my son back to Seaford HS when they finally show some balls!

And we wonder why this world is going to hell in a hand basket.Why children have no respect for adults anymore and why so many parents are on talk shows crying that they are scared of their children.Spare the rod spoil the child.Now a days parents think it is cute when they children at a young age tell them no shut up.I watch parents allow their children to interrogate them on where they are going and who they are talking to.They let their children just lay around and do nothing productive.I see them run out and but them anything they want with out the child working for it or deserving it.This happens with the phrase"I didn't like it when I was kid".Well guess what when you did get it as a kid it kept you out of trouble.You wasn't threatning the school better yet getting suspended from school.You knew how far to go and you kept a level head.And we see that you came out alright.I have dealt with adult offenders most of my life and the one thing they all agree upon...they wish they had a parent that busted their butt when needed.I have worked with the rich offenders who have killed their parents and said that time out never worked.Stand in the corner never worked..I have worked with the poor who will tell you they would have appreciated a spanking for it would have shown that someone cared.No one is advocating abuse but their are thing that a child needs his but spanked for.They took paddling out of school and prayer and evr since then kids have went to school doing the most hienous crimes we have ever seen.Parents need to take back control of parenting their children and tell they the law makers and bleeding hearts to go to hell.I would rather discipline my children for the wrong doing than have the police do it and beat them half to death.Wake up parents..we are crippling are children ..not healping them
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 4:31 pm
Oh please, a little spanking never hurt anyone  , in fact being spanked (not abused, just a few swats on the rear) makes you have more respect for your parents. I was spanked, and I turned out just fine. Unlike many of the adults nowdays, most kids realize their parents spank them because they did something wrong. It just reinforces the message to not do it again. In my opinion, more kids need to be spanked, maybe then they would recgonize that their are boundaries for their behavior  .

Like a good journalist CR, I got further confirmation from 2 other teachers who were there...at least I check to see if my facts are right...and do not resort to specious reasoning...
And get off the side stories, no one's questioning teachers here, we are questioning adminsitrative tactics...

How do you know? Again you are assuming. Yes teachers are capable of lying. They are also capable of anything any of us can do. Teachers are convicted child molesters, extortionists, bad check writers, they file bankruptcy and miss payments. Teachers can run red lights, avoid taxes, cheat and steal.
It would be nice to glorify teachers but we can't. They are human.

And we wonder why this world is going to hell in a hand basket.Why children have no respect for adults anymore and why so many parents are on talk shows crying that they are scared of their children.Spare the rod spoil the child.Now a days parents think it is cute when they children at a young age tell them no shut up.I watch parents allow their children to interrogate them on where they are going and who they are talking to.They let their children just lay around and do nothing productive.I see them run out and but them anything they want with out the child working for it or deserving it.This happens with the phrase"I didn't like it when I was kid".Well guess what when you did get it as a kid it kept you out of trouble.You wasn't threatning the school better yet getting suspended from school.You knew how far to go and you kept a level head.And we see that you came out alright.I have dealt with adult offenders most of my life and the one thing they all agree upon...they wish they had a parent that busted their butt when needed.I have worked with the rich offenders who have killed their parents and said that time out never worked.Stand in the corner never worked..I have worked with the poor who will tell you they would have appreciated a spanking for it would have shown that someone cared.No one is advocating abuse but their are thing that a child needs his but spanked for.They took paddling out of school and prayer and evr since then kids have went to school doing the most hienous crimes we have ever seen.Parents need to take back control of parenting their children and tell they the law makers and bleeding hearts to go to hell.I would rather discipline my children for the wrong doing than have the police do it and beat them half to death.Wake up parents..we are crippling are children ..not healping them

Oh please, a little spanking never hurt anyone , in fact being spanked (not abused, just a few swats on the rear) makes you have more respect for your parents. I was spanked, and I turned out just fine. Unlike many of the adults nowdays, most kids realize their parents spank them because they did something wrong. It just reinforces the message to not do it again. In my opinion, more kids need to be spanked, maybe then they would recgonize that their are boundaries for their behavior .

How do you know? Again you are assuming. Yes teachers are capable of lying. They are also capable of anything any of us can do. Teachers are convicted child molesters, extortionists, bad check writers, they file bankruptcy and miss payments. Teachers can run red lights, avoid taxes, cheat and steal.
It would be nice to glorify teachers but we can't. They are human.

I would hope you are not calling teachers liars...you certainly are not a viable source of info either. Bias is your word of life.
Plus, you do not know anything about the adminstrator in question so you have no room to talk.

There's my point for those of you who are illiterate! They were there for fun and fellowship not to get yelled at...

NEW UPDATE
So I talked to my teacher contact today. They went to the school last night to join other teachers in a show of unity and enjoy the football game. Instead, part of that fun gathering seemingly turned into a faculty meeting where a certain principal bleated about things that needed to be fixed. I mean, that was horrible. Everyone was there to enjoy a football game yet they had to hear ranting about how they need to fix the school! Talk about rude! I bet that killed the mood of all that were there. It sure did for my teacher friend!
Face it administrators, you ain't gonna get the heat off your back that way. You won't find teachers sticking around very long if they can leave.

Some news from inside SHS...
First, they are under pressure. Administrators in the school and across the streetare clamping down all of a sudden on teachers like it is their fault the kids are not learning. The teachers are being watched by principals on two ways I was told. Some are not happy cause they think it will lead to being in real observations.
Second, they are under review by some state level person who is auditing everything they are doing, and that is not just DSTP stuff neither, it includes other activities like attendence and special education
Third, since it was not in our local papers, a long time Seaford teacher, Mrs. Sue Pryor passed away last week. She will be missed. One of my older children had her and she was a wonderful person to communicate with. There was a big stink too about her funeral. Teachers had to take a personal day to attend it. That was cruel to do. I know the Blades teachers got to the James funeral without having to take a day off.
More to come when I hear form the inside...stay tuned...

Wasn't the ability to speak English and understand American History and way of life a prerequisite to your permanent visa?
