| What part do you not understand? Who is replacing the responsiblities of principal next year? Who are the 2009 graduates? They are both up for grabs.

The administrators know unless they forgot! Has anyone seen the graduation list? Another mystery or secret each year. I guess we will have to wait just like we do for American Idol. Always a surprise!

As per your post in the other thread.... the use of the word BUY in this case is wrong. It should be "by".

I find it very interesting that as a staff member you can be on a school computer during school hours and especially during DSTP's posting in a public forum.
Some teachers are lucky enough during DSTP's to not have to administer tests. They get to be with kids who can't take the test for certain reasons or have hall/bathroom duty or whatnot and they can be on a laptop or watching a movie(when with the kids I spoke of)... Even the teachers that administer the test, the students have unlimited time to work, so the teachers can be on their computers once they are done giving instructions and start the students on their tests.

Teachers in our building buy lunches, gas, clothes, and assist in finding housing and jobs for the students. We have even helped our students' parents find jobs. There is a district policy that teachers cannot give students rides home in their personal cars, so they stay after hours until they can help secure a way home for the students. The teachers also furnish school supplies and recycle end of the year locker trash so that students can have a three-ring binder the next fall.
You have complained that the teachers at Cape have to use their own Cell phones and the charges are on their own tab. Well, when the teachers and students are locked out of the building after hours, teachers and coaches are always sharing their phones until students can get rides. If we turn this information into you know who, we get lip service. The real heroes in our school have been our school nurses. We can take all kinds of student issues to them and they help to locate the proper resources for the student. Kay Chaffinch and Polly Pusey are the unsung heroes of our school.
Again, Bluesman, poking your nose in business that you do not know anything about.
Your district has a policy about teachers not giving students rides. I would hope that you as a teacher/staff member you would have enough common sense without being told that giving a student a ride could potentially open up a whole can of worms that could ruin you for life.
If teachers have a "pass key" to enter the school (you previously posted this information) then how are you locked out after hours? You are contradicting yourself again.
What I stated about cell phone at Cape was "Cape does not even have landline phones in the classrooms and teachers are expected to use their own personal cell phones to report any incidents" this isn't after hours, this is during regulary scheduled school hours.
As a teacher you are supposed to report any suspected incidents of abuse or neglect to the proper authority as a court advocate. Claiming that it's reported to the Admin and not followed up on does not release you from or absolve your responsibility to report any incident of abuse or neglect to the police yourself or courts if need be.
While I may not know "specific business" about your school there are general issues that are the same state to state school district to school district, such as the one I mentioned above. I comment on the issues that you and others present in your posts. I also know there is a proper way of procedure which is to file a grievance with the union, and let them decide if your complaints have any merit. IMHO you and a few other staff members would rather hold a Kangaroo Court in these forums than follow proper procedure and protocol obviously.

So according to you from your post:
"the kids will make up some story because they dont' want to have to deal with parole officers or going into foster care or whatever it may be."
"Most times, the teachers listen to the students who see the admin doing the things that get reported on here"
If you can't see the obvious contradictions in those 2 statements you made I can understand why there is a BIG problem at Seaford.

Bluejaystaff,
And as his "personal friend" I am sure you overlook many things that others wouldn't. I didn't "trash" him, nor do I know the man personally. Furthermore I didn't post anything about his personal life, I posted what I personally witnessed in a public school board meeting.
I posted what I read personally about a newspaper article in which Superintendent Stone condemned his staff publicly, at the beginning of this school year. That's brutal and unprofessional, and as far as I'm concerned unethical (Quite honestly I don't care if you and he are brothers).
There are plenty of other comments in the Lewes forum questioning the Administration at Cape, which Superintendent Stone is the head of. The people of the district voted down the recent referendum for funding and publicly stated the reason it was turned down was they did not trust the Adminstration would use the money for what it was intended for.
How many union grievances have been filed against Superintendent Stone by the staff any idea?
I'm sorry that you find it annoying that I make comparisions. When other districts are doing the same thing like the DSTP this week it sort of blows the "conspiracy" theory all to hell that was presented in here.
Someone shares a bit of personal information with staff members in confidence and certain members choose to use that against the person now .........somehow that's supposed to be commendable ........I think your logic is a bit askew. I have clearly stated what I find offensive.......I'm sorry you are obviously either incapable of comprehending that...or you feel it is okay to drag someones personal family life and family members into a matter about your school district. That's not the way I was raised...and that's not one of the many values I walked away with after my 27 years serving in the USAF.
Pettiness and that's exactly what it is and nothing more making an issue of the fact that someone backs into a parking spot is rediculous to say the least.
My comparisions are to exact or similar situations that have been posted about at Seaford in other school districts that I am familiar with. I'm sorry that the comparisions show that what a few staff members are doing is painting a less than honest picture of the situation in those particular examples at Seaford.
While claiming I don't practice what I preach, I haven't seen one shred of "public evidence" to support the trashing that is taking place in here either about "Moe, Curly, and Larry" just several disgruntled staff members who are gossiping.
In closing I can say the same thing to you. You obviously don't know what goes on at the Cape Henlopen school district either.

It's not digging up crap. This stuff happens out in the open where everyone can see it. Most times, the teachers listen to the students who see the admin doing the things that get reported on here!!!
I know I've had things with the dress code, cell phones, ipod/mp3s brought to my attention by the kids because the admin enforced things at lunch on certain kids and then I heard about it afterwards cause they would be b**chin at the start of my class asking me how it was fair that "so and so got to listen to her iphone music, but yet, my phone got taken away"...
As advocates for reporting things, we all do, no matter where we are. But you gotta realize who they report to.... the big 3. Most times when you report that, you hear... "we'll look into that" "thank you for bringing that to our attention".... Then if/when you follow up on it, they haven't done anything. AND... if they do anything, the kids will make up some story because they dont' want to have to deal with parole officers or going into foster care or whatever it may be.
Teachers do what they need to do to protect the kids. What the kids say when questioned? who knows. We, as teachers, can only go so far as to help, then it's on the kids to tell the rest, and some do, but most don't for fear of what will become of them if they do rat out someone else...

Mr. B:
You have struck out at several times at members on this forum, but at the same time you seem to be offended easily. From what I have read, you do not practice what you preach. George Stone is a personal friend of mine and you trashed him. Your links to public information did not support your trashing. It was pretty brutal.
You do not know what goes on at the high school. It gets annoying with your references to Cape and Milford. I have to agree with Seaford Parent. Your reference to the personal information about the staff. No one dug that information up. The individual shared that information with staff. He has shared a lot more information with us and for some of us more than we would ever want to know.
Several staff members have been harassed and pressured for having his family members in their classrooms. As an outsider, you would not know these things. This is common knowledge throughout our building. Even our regular substitutes, who we feel are part of our staff, are aware of this information. The individual in question also shares information about the teachers of his family members and why he is upset with those teachers at faculty meetings. No he does not use the teachers names, but all the teachers need to do is look up his family members' schedules to figure out who he is talking about. Honesty is also another problem with this individual, but that is a whole post in it own.
Have some of the comments been harsh and direct, and sometimes sarcastic? Yes, but the content is basically true and not off-base. Remember, it is difficult to know what goes on inside someone else's house. Have a good evening.

I certainly hope the "first hand knowledge" that's claimed to be known, is better than the DSTP conspiracy "knowledge" that was presented yesterday.
Are you claiming to have "first hand knowledge" of his personal life including his family?

Try reading my posts instead of just reacting. I haven't said anything negative or positive about the district. I have however been critical of the demeaning and possibly libelous manner that staff have been posting in here.

I still don't agree with the parking situation. There are people who can't back up. I don't think safety is the issue at our school. If the administrators were doing it for safety, wouldn't it be nice to share that concept with the entire staff so everyone could be safe.
I guess they want to be the only ones to get the extra points. I heard it was double points for senior citizens.
I'm quite calm...you on the other hand are the one all worked up and disagreeing about everything and anything . Complaining about Admins backing into their parking spaces, is nothing more than pure pettiness on your part. I would hope that in all your b**ching you have been doing you could focus on several crucial factors that directly effect the students, but that doesn't appear to what you want. You just want to demean, and possibly even libel the administrators of your school district while using an anonymous name in a public forum, shame on you.

It looks so bad for a professional environment to have cars backed in like they were down at the local watering shed. I've never seen other professionals park this way (doctors, lawyers, etc.)
Even, our resource officer parks his cruiser properly. He should be the one concerned about a fast break in case he is called to an emergency. It presents a poor image of the school.
Also, what about opening up some spaces in the front of the building for our guest. I had a guest speaker today and they had to park out on the street. The secretaries, the administrators, the faculty and staff should all park in the same parking lot. The school nurse and resource officer should park up front because they are called to the other schools for emergencies.
Where is the rule documented that teachers cannot park in the front of the building?
I can't say much about spaces being unavailable up front, but it is ridiculous that you point out the whole "backed in" thing. I park in the teacher lot "backed in" as a matter of convenience and safety. You never know when a dang kidis going to come running out behind you while you are trying to back out!

I can READ I'm well aware of what forum I'm in, I was merely pointing out what another school district does and why they do it.
It's done in the name of safety...many of today's vehicles have their rear windows tinted so a student/students sitting in a car can't be seen. It's easier to identify a car if security has the vehicle tag number which can be easily seen while patroling the parking lot.
Lord knows it's more important not to look tacky then to implement a simple safety measure such as having vehicles backed into a parking spot.
Having read your posts I haven't found one positive thing you have to say about tje school district that employes you. this begs the question at this point are you an asset or a liability, with your attitude?
I find it hard to believe that anyone who is as dissatisfied as you appear to be, would not convey or project those same feelings to their students.

| Many corporations, concerned for the safety of people who may be outside the vehicle, require that the drivers of their company vehicles be backed into parking spaces. The reasoning is that when one drives up to and past an empty parking space, they get a good look through the windshield and side windows at the presence of other people if any are around, which view gives them a safe opportunity to back into a space. Much safer than backing out of a parking space, where - having backed in - they can drive out in a forward direction, again having the benefit of the view through the windshield and side windows.

The secretaries, the administrators, the faculty and staff should all park in the same parking lot. The school nurse and resource officer should park up front because they are called to the other schools for emergencies.
Where is the rule documented that teachers cannot park in the front of the building?

| what else is new? high salaries for adminstrators that do sub-par to poor jobs. Markel wants to reward teachers for hard work and allow school districts to handle funds without discretion then he'd better put awatchdog over what admins do. The auditor hasnt been picky enough imho!

The possible lawsuit is for not following the state guidelines that clearly state a long term substitute teacher who teaches in a district for more than 90 consecutive days is entitled to a years credit.
3 teachers that were long term subs were not given credit and 2 taught at Cape for the whole year and 1 taught at another school district for a whole year. The one teacher who taught at another district is making almost $900.00 less this year at Cape then the person made at the same grade level last year, in the other district. All the while George Stone makes almost $160,000.00 a year and the adminstration salaries are between 3-4 million total.

| I thought the state had immunity. I guess it depends on what the Cape teachers are justifying for their potential lawsuits.

Who's in charge of the school district George Stone. Why have teachers threatened the district with lawsuits if there are no problems.
If Seaford wants Stone back I'm sure Cape would be more than willing to part with him. I never said the threads I referenced were as long.....but now that you brought that up if we take out all the b/s posts that aren't even on topic yours wouldn't be that long either.

I am a little disappointed. I thought you were against bashing and all about solving problems. I hope that this was just a weak moment. After reading your last post, I was shocked by your response.
So. it is appropriate to bash other people that you are not affiliated with then bash your wife's school district. I guess because you are a substitute, you may not feel connected. You sound offended when you were referred to as an "outsider" in the Seaford School District, but you are very sensitive about the comments. Maybe you are close to someone on the administrative team. You let some of us down, Mr. B.
My initial response that you were disappointed in was in direct response to this one made by SOS which is filled with erroneous information.
"Bluesman: What can I say; you have George Stone for your super or your wife's super. He is a good man who does listen to his people. He is one who embraces his staff and comunity. Gary Wray sat on your board and served as president for several years. Out spoken, but he listened to the staff and community. Both of these men were part of the community. Seaford could not keep George because someone was threatened by him.
George is a team player and does not hand pick a board that will follow him around. George is present in his schools and knows the teachers. We do not usually see ours, but when we do; he is not comfortable with seeing us. If you watch him closely, whenever he shakes hands, he immediately wipes his hand off on his slacks.
No school district is perfect, but Cape is one of this districts that has good people leading them. We do all make mistakes, but powerful things come out of mistakes. We try in Seaford and that does not happen."
So everyone showing disrespect to the administrators by dragging their family, and personal life into your argument is okay, but me saying that I find it reprehensible that someone would stoop so low as to drag someones personal life into the argument is bashing someone.....interesting.
I'm not related to anyone in any school district in this state other than my wife sorry to disappoint you, try grasping for another straw. I don't even know anyone in Seaford's school district.
I too am disappointed obviously you only read what you want to read. I am opposed to anyone bashing someones family members who have nothing to do with the issues I believe I have posted that at least 3 times in this forum.
As I stated nothing I have posted isn't a matter of public record. It has been reported in the papers as well.
Please show me where I have made any posts in reference to Mr. Stone's private life, or where I have mocked the administration by referring to them as Moe, Curly and Larry.

i fail to see how those 3 forums have anything bad to say about George Stone, rather just prove that bad things happen at cape. yippie! 3 things! those blogs are as LONG as the ones here now are they? ours go back years
frankly all i see is the same instance that school districts play coy with their hands tied when it comes it issues such as these. they never want to play the bad guy and truly hand down that necessary punishments to eliminate problems. thats how society is anymore we are not as harsh as we used to be. heck we call lethal inhumane now! are you kidding me? those people kill and it is inhumane to kill them?
likewise, if kids are bad, refuse to learn, THROW THEM OUT. they vote people off the island in Survivor for this stuff and they dont get to win anything and they looklike losers on tv. i am sorry, but we are too nice to kids. that is why they are the way they are anymore these days. i do not know who bought into that bullcrap that being harsh to kids was psychologically damaging and makes them go crazy. that is not true!

How am I sending mixed messages? I'm not employed at Cape Henlopen and everything I have stated is a matter of public record.

I dont care if he's being a dictator that is better than what we have here with do nothings. and if people are doing things for recognition or credit that is not much better either

Sometimes one needs to look, to find things. I'm sure you would care if George Stone was dictator and it effected you directly. 55 HS teachers showed up at the school board meeting I referenced and 55 got up and walked out when George Stone lied to the school committee.

George Stone is horrible, he wrote an editorial this past fall criticizing his staff publicly in the Lewes newspaper. He does not listen to his staff, when the high school staff had the greivance presentation before the school board George Stone was caught in an outright lie.
The day before in a meeting with the teachers he stated "We are going to the Academy way of teaching the school board is in full agreement and there is nothing you can do, it is already set in place"
There's one major problem the school board never told George Stone they were on board with his plan.
Mrs Selby in the meeting admonished George Stone stating "Administrator does not mean dictator, you need to LISTEN to your staff they are the ones in touch with the pulse of the real problems!"
George Stone is never seen in the high school....he avoids the teachers like the plague. There are a number of other issues as well like 3 long term substitute teachers who taught a full year at Cape Henlopen School District or another school district and they did not receive credit for the years teaching. George Stone refuses to honor the state law that states any teacher who teachers for a period exceeding 90 days shall receive credit for the year.
The technological referendum vote was just shot down by the district because the residenst don't believe the money will go for the new school but to the Administration like the last funds, that George Stone still refuses to provide the documents for, showing where the money went.

Ok, so next time "Larry" has a cell phone incident, someone confiscate it!!! Take it to the office and he can have it back at the end of the day, just like the kids. Document it so that you can add that to your observation and say how HE disrupted the flow of your lesson.
If the kids get them taken away, so should he if he's going to be one of your "students" for a period.
