true, and if you read it, you'd see that kid attended Epworth.
heres something that i do not get. people and i mean administrators get upset about us talking on here and say we should be vocal and show up and talk to them. just an fyi, i have! I was always vocal when i was a parent and showed to to many different meetings and so do other parents i talk to. But they get a little upset that their words fall on deaf ears. well folks look what it has gotten you!
Personally i hope that state takes over it would be the best thing that would happen to the high school at this point

The kid that wrote that has probably has a stable home life and great parents that know HOW to be parents!!!
It's very refreshing to know that there are kids out there that realize what is happening with the world. All to often the kids do fall into the pits that this student has spoken of.
I especially like the statement of "students expect their own parents to go and talk to the teacher"... because for some parents, "little jonny" does no wrong and is a perfect little angel, and when jonny knows he can't win, he brings in the parents.
As a teacher, I love those moments. The kids know they have failed or are failing, and they know WHY they are too, but when midterms come about and grades go home (cause most kids hide what their grades are... they know what their grades are all along, so it shouldn't be a surprise to them in the end) it's jonny crying to mommy and daddy that the TEACHER failed them... um, no, jonny, you failed yourself. I absolutely love it at conferences (when the parents show up), and they ask you about it with the kid standing right there... the kid goes pale and the parent says "oh really, you didn't tell me that part..." and then the teacher shows the gradebook and the work and the dates of the assignment and how long they had and you can just see that the student has lost and that the parent (no matter how much they do or don't like you) has to take the teachers side because the teacher has it all in their gradebook.
Anyway, this kid is right. It's a pretty accurate viewing by this student. I hear about how in colleges there are students that are "playstation/wii/xbox" majors because they only have 2 or 3 classes a day and the rest of the time they sit in their dorm rooms and play video games. Same can be said about these high schoolers. As soon as they get home, the books(if they take any home) hit the floor and the kid is on the system. I know that before I ever did anything when I got home from school, the homework had to be done, then I could enjoy the rest of my night.
Kids aren't dumb, they see the world as it is because they don't have clouded judgements. That's why it's soo interesting to talk to elementary school students. They will tell you that mommy or daddy or uncle jim was with a stranger last night in the bedroom or that they saw them smoking something that wasnt' a cigarette or that their parents were having a fight about money or whatever.. They don't know how to filter what they say and it's eye-opening what they hear and see.
I say try and get that student to write more as to what they see in the schools (in and outside the classroom) and in society, a few times a year. Just to see if and how the story changes as they get older and eventually, change buildings!!!

On this new years eve i want to give some quotes from a letter i read tonight from the Star
"when my dad was my age he had a job""it was also expected that he obey his parents without questioning their authority""my generation often expects everything be handed to them on a silver platter""laziness saturates my generation with obstacles""with so many cool movies, tv shows and video games we find ourselves losing track of time therefore losing focus on more important priorities""another aspect in the battle of laziness is the idea that teenagers in my generation depend way too much on others.""I have also witnessed times when students in my grade have expected their own parents to talk to the teacher about extra credit simply because they did not take on the responsibility to complete the assigned work. Continually depending on others can cause self-destruction"
and you know what, this was written by an 8th grader! I hope a lot of kids read this at school cause i know they get this paper there and start to realize some things!
i love it when the kids show how right i am!

i don't think it is no one wants to teach there I think it is they keep picking some bad eggs or not holding them to high enough standards while chasing off the good teachers in the process.
and now for the good news, i just saw there are no more consequences regarding the DSTP. now are they going to keep holding our schools accountable based on it then? you just told the kids they dont have to do well on it!
I'd certainly have to agree with you niece's comment about Mr. Jeandell. He does come down hard on people who misbehave and he certainly doesn't take any crap. I also had Mr. Keeton. He was a fairly good teacher--not the best I ever had--but a good teacher. Mrs. Sirman is another tough but good teacher.
When I really think about it, it seems like the district is chasing off experienced teachers in favor of younger inexperienced teachers. They only seem to keep the idiots because they are able to be manipulated. That, and newer teachers are also at lower pay grades. Miss Malley told us a story of being offered a college teaching position and one of her reasons for turning it down was a drop in pay.
Despite my thoughts that the DSTP is stupid and has caused a drop in the quality of education, that is beyond bogus. Yay for double standards!

nice to hear your opinions. I agree with most of your teacher comments. my girls had malley and cannon and I have nothing but praise for their efforts. shame they basically retired because of the bad management at the school. my girls also had AC so they missed out on math and english there thank god and they raved about Rob Perciful too. they never had Mr. Lee or Mr. Jeandell or Mr. Bleile, guess because they were not teaching AP at the time. my niece has Mr. Jeandell now and has nothing but good to say. i asked her about your comment and she said yeah most kids dont like him because he doesnt put up with their behavior. they also like mr. keaton too and mrs. sirman for German. shame whats happened to her over the past few years.

Oh, I definitely agree most of the kids don't care. Personally, I think that's part of their upbringing. From the time I was very young, I knew I would be going to college and therefore needed to get good grades and pay attention and school.
And now for the dirt...
I'm sad to say that the two best teachers I ever had at Seaford are now retired. Those two would be Miss Malley and Mr. Cannon. Both were rough and both would kick you in the butt but you learned a heck of a lot.
The worst teacher I ever had at Seaford was Mr. Dunaway (he replaced Mrs. Cofield for a year) who was a complete and utter idiot. Other bad teachers (including some that have good reps)? Mr. Lee wasn't my favorite... he played favorites, especially since his son was in my class. Though I never had most of them (I was an academic challenge kid), considering my experiences in both in Physics and Calculus, most of the math teachers are subpar. We covered half of the material we were slated to cover because my fellow students' math skills required massive amounts of review. Mr. Bleile--though a very nice guy--sucked as a human behavior teacher. I learned next to nothing.
Mr. Perciful is an excellent, excellent teacher. His class really helped me prepare for a college style class room. Mr. Halter was also a good teacher. He was good at breaking complicated concepts down into simpler terms. Despite the number of students who dislike him, I found Mr. Jeandell to be a good teacher. I had two classes with him and learned a great deal in both.
I got lucky. I missed a lot of the idiots they've been hiring lately. Nobody wants to teach at Seaford anymore.

please, who is inept and who paid attention to you? it is best to name names, they read this stuff over there you know!
frankly i cannot say much for your middle 50%. they get ignored? probably because most of them are satisfied being in the middle. it is not up to the adults to overly promote college prospects, that is what they do already. those kids got to figure it out too! my daughters who graduated and nieces and nephews still there can tell you from their observations that most of their peers just do not give a d**n! when they get to deltech they finally figure it out, which is sad! one should go into 9th grade knowing what they want to do. maybe we should be focusing more on getting them when they are younger like in middle school?

I confess, I find a lot of these arguments rather amusing. That being said, I will now offer my two cents.
1. The new cheerleading uniforms are not appropriate. Worn properly, maybe the skirts are fingertip length (and to me, thats a pretty big maybe). That does not mean the girls don't hike them up. Just a thought...
2. I am a graduate of Seaford High School (and before you suggest I am not up with the issues at good ol' Seaford, I graduated with the class of 2008) and have several friends still there. Even other students think the uniforms are too much.
3. Seriously folks, there are much bigger issues in this school district than inappropriate cheerleading uniforms. How about the inept teachers, tanking test scores, a budget constantly in crisis, and students who just don't know how to act?

The band and chorus appear to be much better than last year. I know the people I was with were wildly impressed, and I heard several staff members from throughout the district and parents make similar remarks. The choral director seems genuinely enthusiastic to be a part of the high school scene.

Good idea. Oh wait, these parents have no idea, it's ok in their eyes. It's not "their" kid that does any wrong.
Anywho... that's why I left Seaford... its corruption, politics and bullsh*t were too much. I know every district has it, but when it's as bad as it is there, it's a wonder anyone sticks around.

In response to whocaresanymore:
"1. How did they get asked by the Credit Union for the commercial?"
How else would you be asked to be a part of something but by contacting the cheerleading coach and asking for her squad to be a part of the commercial they were putting together.
"2. If I were a parent of a cheerleader and some guy came up and started asking my girl about her uniform and she pulled up her skirt? Yeah, I'd be upset... but yet, you're saying they'd willingly show what's underneath..."
I said if you had such a problem with these uniforms why was it not brought to the coaches attention but instead blogged about? no one said anyone would pull there skirt up. showing fingertip length of a skirt means standing straight up and putting your arms directly to your sides and seeing that the place where your skirt and your fingertips hits your thighs is in the same spot.
"3. #2 brings me to this... Those girls aren't all perfect little angels..."
no one said they were perfect, no one is perfect but i highly doubt you know any one of these girls on a personal level.
"4. Bloomers or not, the whole "porn star" type thing, was ruined by just that... pornstars. It doesn't help that the kids act like it while they are in school wearing them (not all, but some do). You'd be naive to think that every cheerleader wasn't somewhat steroetypical..."
Girls in uniform know the respectable way to act. If at any given time they are being distasteful or anything is reported by another teacher, student, or member of the community the girl will automatically be removed from the squad. None of the girls have been removed or even reported for this. If teachers and others are seeing these girls violating these rules so often why is it not brought to the coaches or administrators attention but instead blogged about? and calling them porn stars is a tad extreme wouldn't you say? To further note on that the girls do not even wear the uniforms to school that everyone is calling "porn star" material, on game days they wear some sort of dress pants, dress shirt and dress shoes. That shows how much you know about this program or what is going on in the school right there.
"5. If the district approved the older uniforms, that's fine then, let them deal with it. But when you say the new ones are the ones the girls went out and got on their own... ummm, if it's worn at a school function, it still should go through the school and district for approval. I know stuff that goes through Booster organizations has to follow district rules"
It was never said that the uniforms were not approved by the school. It was only stated that they were not bought with district money.
"And it's just funny to see that you Capitalized Cheerleader in your username, you be irate as you want, but saying we don't know anything is wrong. I've spent my time within the confines of the Seaford HS and I know lots of things and others that post here know things as well, so get over yourself!!!"
As much time as you have spent I am very sure that you know plenty. But being retired I am sure that you are not up to date on every program in the school as of this moment. All this blog had to do with was knowing about the cheerleaders who you all seem to love speaking so terribly about. I simply said know the facts before you judge or comment.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.....
Wow, ok, I'm a former Seaford Sr. High teacher.... I've seen the girls in their uniforms. I have a couple remarks to your comments:
1. How did they get asked by the Credit Union for the commercial?
2. If I were a parent of a cheerleader and some guy came up and started asking my girl about her uniform and she pulled up her skirt? Yeah, I'd be upset... but yet, you're saying they'd willingly show what's underneath...
3. #2 brings me to this... Those girls aren't all perfect little angels...
4. Bloomers or not, the whole "porn star" type thing, was ruined by just that... pornstars. It doesn't help that the kids act like it while they are in school wearing them (not all, but some do). You'd be naive to think that every cheerleader wasn't somewhat steroetypical...

But when you say the new ones are the ones the girls went out and got on their own... ummm, if it's worn at a school function, it still should go through the school and district for approval. I know stuff that goes through Booster organizations has to follow district rules...
But, you seem to know it all... so, why don't you go run for superintendent or a principal or something... maybe your ideas and wisdom can help to shape up the district... Maybe you can get the Credit union to fund some other things in the school that actually need the funding!!!! And it's just funny to see that you Capitalized Cheerleader in your username, you be irate as you want, but saying we don't know anything is wrong. I've spent my time within the confines of the Seaford HS and I know lots of things and others that post here know things as well, so get over yourself!!!

| I want to start off in saying who do any of you think you are to judge others and speak so poorly about others and a program you oviously know nothing about. As a parent how would you feel to get on this blog & read such terrible comments about your daughter and her friends and an AMAZING coach who loves these girls & has treated each and everyone of them as her own? The refree uniforms which you have labeled "porn star" material were bought with the cheerleaders own FUNDRAISED money. They were not bought by the district. The "old" uniforms will still be worn but because of the fact that they are so uncomfortable for the girls they opted to find an altrernate uniform for the girls to wear while sitting in the bleachers for up to 4 hrs @ a game, showing support for the basketball teams. and just to further comment on the refree uniforms THEY ARE fingertip length and they have shorts underneath of them built in. At the district game did any of you bloggers have the guts to walk over to the coach and say how you felt about there uniforms? no you did not and if you had the girls would have been more than happy to show you that there skirts are in deed fingertip length. and to comment on what you said about the "poor girls" who had to sit there with there legs tight and looking so uncomfortable, it had NOTHING to do with the uniforms. If you knew anything @ all about cheering in the bleachers @ a basketball game you would automatically have known that sitting tightly as they were is there READY POSITION, which is how cheerleaders wait for a cheer to be called. And just so nothing can be said about the other uniforms, those are also fingertip length & also have bloomers underneath of them. They are in no way inappropriate if you have any idea how cheerleading uniforms look these days. if your thinking of the old skirts and sweaters that were worn 40 years ago, yes the style has changed, but the girls do not look like porn stars, in anyway shape or form. The girls are respectable young ladies who have turned the cheerleading program around for the better in the last 2 years. The fact that they were ASKED by the Sussex County Federal Credit Union to represent seaford and show there spirit off in a commercial shows that our community has recognized what a great job these girls have done. It was a wonderful opportunity for the girls to be viewed as part of the community in a big way. As to who is getting the benefits of this commercial, if you had read a little more closely in our seaford newspaper you would have been informed that the girls received a DONATION from the credit union that will be used to help pay for the girls to go to a competition in January. No one else benefited from these girls hard work and efforts to be a part of Seafords community. As for the uniforms that were shown in the commercial, they were district approved. I highly suggest that next time you want to put down seaford high school, a wonderful coach and some amazing young women you get your facts straight first and know what you are talking about.

well that is not what i have heard. there is a lotof back and forth between both schools. the 9th graders are always terrible both in behavior and in the way they learn so the high school wonders if they are ever dealt with properly in the middle school. an old teacher friend of mine always said that 7th and 8th grade were themost crucial years in school since they were during the hormone years. image on the surface is one thing but it isnt trickling onward to the high school appearantly
you are right a principal shouldnt be doing things to save face they should be the bad guy. it seems to me the only way to please the masses is to be that way right? rules and laws are laws follow them. if it pisses people off oh well you have the law and the rules on your side i doubt you will lose your job over it. you will lose your job if you do nothing, which is what the high school is facing being under improvement as long as it has. it and other schools are on the verge of takeover in the state. there was one where this has already happened in delaware so.

| The middle school does do good stuff. There's that much let down when things get to the high school. There are a handful of teachers that go out of their way at the HS. A lot of kids when they get there, no that they're either droppin out or gonna transfer or just get in trouble. Not to mention, they know that the admin plays face and doesn't want to be the bad guy!!!!! So they almost literally get away with murder and unless it's brought up by an outside source, nothin gets done with it.

i agree, the uniforms were sad but hey it is what we call a double standard. that is the typical mode of operation here. sports get away with murder such as drinking on the cross country course playing ineligible students luckily they are never good enough to succeed or theyd be disqualified or fakely inflating there grades so that they become eligible.
as for budget cuts i dont think it will get that extreme. the good news is that those art tech and foods programs get extra funds from other sources. classroom teachers are always the first target and will definately be asked as always to do more with less which is sad. they have lots of good people over there frustrated to hell. one person i am surprised is still there is mrs. smith. she really must be dedicated to put up with all that crap.
that explains why they cant get anyone to succeed over there they do too much with less in those secondary buildings while their admins get paid big bucks doing little other than trying to look good on paper or create a false image. the parents in this community know otherwise
now speaking of image my nieces friend was inducted into the national honor society 2 weeks ago and yet it hasnt been in local paper the last 2 weeks. what happened there? techs was in the paper a picture at the least why wasnt seafords? what ever happened to that image they want to show? it is sad they are just giving up. i wonder if anyone over there even botherd to ask the paper to show up. youd think at least the advisors would.

Well, having known people that work on the inside at the high school, the girls get to wear their lil outfits during the school day on the day of a game. So throw all the rules out the window that are already in place for skirts being fingertip length.
Now that I say that, isn't that weird..... The other girls in the school have to wear skirts that are at least fingertip length, but the cheerleaders (who are led by the secretary in the office!!!), are allowed to have skirts that are basically showing everything to the boys... hmmm, something's not right there....
Don't worry, it won't be a problem next year... cheerleading will be gone, half the sports will be gone, music, tech ed, art, foreign language, it's all gonna go with the budget cuts that are coming... 2 brand new music teachers... they might as well pack it in right now and start lookin for new jobs in states other than MD, PA and DE.. .cause none are hiring... They're gonna be the first to go, then the rest of the arts, then maybe some sports, then more classroom teachers...

| I have not seen the commercial. But just with them sitting in the bleechers the other night cheering it was sad they had to keep their legs closed so tightly. What happened to the old uniforms? It's sad here they had a meeting about dress code and here the uniforms for the cheerleaders look like that. Something is wrong with the high school. Does anyone what ever became of the dress code meeting? I was unable to make it.

Well, when the cheerleading coach puts them in their little tiny uniforms and puts them in a commercial on tv.... hmmm, i wonder why there's attention...
And is the school district getting paid for allowing the cheerleaders in that tv commercial? I forget what it's for, I G Burton maybe, but its' still a commercial that airs on cable tv. I thought it was in poor taste... seeing the cheerleaders and the coach and some of the business people out playing football or something while promoting a business...
I'm all for making businesses better, but the girls were in their little cheerleading uniforms... What is Davis or the School Board or whoever let this go over, getting out of this? Money, a car, etc

| I went to the District Basketball game lastnight. It was really fun with the exception of Fred Douglass Staff and some from Blades Staff taking things a little to seriously, but what caught my eye more was the high school cheer leading outfits. Sorry but they look like porn outfits. The middle school cheerleaders had jeans and a tee shirt on. I know where I sat I was not the only one commenting on the high school outfits.

| You're right. Or they can let public schools operate like those charter (private) schools and spend their money any way they want!

Then we need to elect some people wholl change that rule. it is ridiculous that is works that way, so much money wasted. if it goes back to the state it obviously gets used for something else!
and true both towns wont allow modulars anymore for several reasons

Neither town - Seaford nor Blades - will allow modulars.
Salary money can't be used for buildings.
If you don't use it for salaries, it goes back to the state.
Check those facts!

yeah, the elementary schools are full... so full that if the fire marshall went in and looked around... he'd be forced to shut the schools down!!!! That's how overcrowded those buildings are!!!!
Take some pay cuts and add some buildings!!!! or at least modular rooms or something!!!

| oh and I have to add i find the open house commercials for sussex tech so funny that have been on tv lately. there are next to no black kids in the video what does that say? they are being denied their rights to a fair technical education because of their grades and behavior.

well that's because they have way too many kids in the elementary school, something like over 500 for all 4 schools. when you get more kids, you get to open up positions and i think they only had 2 assitant principals for 4 elementary schools. that is why. i agree it is shady for those cuts to be done, sure but what else is new. they cut good programs to raise their own salaries.
but hey, with full elementary schools it shows that they are doing their job cause people want to send their kids to them! not what one can say for the secondary schools where the numbers are way down over the years.

hello anyone out there
my niece has been my new source cause she is not happy. first mr davis gets assaulted at the homecoming dance or so she says then goes on the pa the next week saying he wasnt but they bothered to stop the dance to look for some intruder. so which is it then
then they have a little trouble with the restrooms last week and the solution is to lock them down and keep only 1 set in the lobby open all day.
a tip, why dont you guys expel some kids or have them arrested for this stuff and broadcast it on that pa that oyu did it rather than making idle threats. that might actually help. my niece says the cop you now is more active than the other guy used to be. at least that is good. let him arrest some kids thatll get the message across

funny thats what the teachers were told not be, negative. funny how many of them dont stick around too long to make a difference or they retire early cause they are tired of being beaten around.
there's no gossip here. if you can read our posts, we get our info from reliable sources...parents, employees and naturally those that matter the most, the kids themselves!
shame the old version of this blog is gone, there used to be students and recent grads who posted on it, most of them highly displeased. there are a few on here if you go back and read! so dont blast us with "we dont have reliable sources" and "negativity is unhealthy". d**n right negativity is unhealthy, that is what is killing our schools! pay attention cause nothings being done about it. the ones who make the most money sit back and ignore it while those who make the least suffer through it.

Who said there wasnt' any fact checking? I had someone call me from the football game and tell me the numbers that were in the marching band that night!!!
Sure, some DSTP stats are probably not-to-factual, but I always have my posts lined up before I send them out to be read, so please do not say that no one is checking on anything.
The public may not be in the schools, but the public is what pays for them. We get the info we want to know.

What makes you folks think that people are being told to stay away? When you say "so whoever is keeping people away that want to talk, go shove your head further up where the sun doesn't shine!!!" it sounds ridiculous to logical, thinking people, because no one said that. Not only did no one say that people are being told to stay away, but since this is anonymous, unless you are a conspiracy theorist, no one knows who anyone is. (Although it does seem at times like a few of you know each other.)
Maybe people are staying away because they are too busy to wallow in all this negativity. This isn't an exchange of information, it is third-hand gossip that's being repeated just to stir the pot.

a) if that's a personal attack, then you need to get your head examined
b) I quote you from a long time ago BOO HOO.
now, back to the topic at hand. i must say it is nice things are quiet so far and no one is willing to talk but it doesnt mean anything good is going on. my niece's friend who is a freshmen said they got yelled at for trashing the auditorium during an important presentation about how important high school was. the kids left all the reading material. the threat was good and I cant wait to hear if it is actually enforced or if someone caves in, but I must say it is sad to hear about how many kids dont care about their future.

well, like i've said, if someone threatened them, it's not right. This is a free board and anyone can come on here and speak their mind... so whoever is keeping people away that want to talk, go shove your head further up where the sun doesn't shine!!!
Everyone feel free to speak freely here... no one can fire you based on what you say.. otherwise they are violating your Constitutional rights...

I still cant get over how i cant get anything out of people at the hs. no one wants to gossip anymore. wonder if someone threatened their well being? wouldnt be surprised! 
on another note a parent who was over at a meeting with dr knorr was more than happy to talk about uniforms. expect it to be a big issue

So I heard from a reliable source, that the band had 9 playing members and 5 flags... that's pathetic!!!!!
You'd think with a new director that Davis would make sure that whoever came in would have a decent group to work with!!
As someone said earlier, I'm glad I'm never going to be at Seaford ever again!!!!
