Walter c young is an excellent school, from day 1 in 6th grade I was very behind in math(or to me I was) with a B minus all the time in regular classes.With a score of 3 on the Fcat math but by 7th grade I received a 4 in math and 5 IN READING!!!! I was so excited and now I'm in 8th grade taking a 9th grade math class, Yes we have uniforms but it's duable you can mix and match sweaters and shoes and any accessorize anything you want (in moderation) and your allowed to wear JEANS!!, No we don't have lockers but that's fine the music program is awesome you make lots of friends and get to go on plenty of field trips. Hmmm, what else Oh the school is dirty -ish( meaning floor has gum and bathrooms are pretty groce) but you will get used to it. Very beautiful scenery lots of trees and flowers and the lunch room just got redone. The teachers really care about you passing and making Honor roll the school is pretty big for a middle school and the layout is well thought out it is an open campus but has enough shelter to keep you dry on rainy days. The principle is INTERESTING . Just don't worry Walter has its flaws but all and all you will grow to love your school. GO KNIGHTS!!
This School is literally the BEST !! I had my daughter transfer from New Renaissance Middle in Miramar, there was so much bullies, she was physically harassed, and the teachers don't do anything about it. But at Walter C, the bully report is amazingly quick, my daughter reported somebody stole her purse, and they found it immediately ! Walter C Young is the best school there is ! New renaissance Middle in Miramar deserves a thumbs down.
This school is a gem, yes you have rude, ill-mannered children here, blame the parents of these kids not the school, they cannot police everything. I have so far have had a VERY positive experience ( compared to very negative experiences with local charter and pricey private schools), this school is run just like a private school down to the uniform policy and I find the academics to be very challenging for my above average child. The staff though, that is the real core of this school, they are courteous, attentive and fair, the committment to excellence is obvious. I feel extremely happy sending my daughter here and as a parent I feel respected and listened to, KUDOS to Mrs Clarke and Mrs Kinkaide part of a superb administrative team!!!
Amazing school. Has helped me learn alot. Band is amazing in this school. The director has many years of experience. Band was my favorite.
Great school I loved it. They teach you a lot of things you didn't know. I highly suggest going to this school.
My child did well academically at this school. The teachers are wonderful but very overworked with 30 plus in a class. Each child is a number and nothing more. The Principal made some great changes when he came, but you can not change the quality of the children assigned to this school, which is extremely POOR. The Administrators in 7th grade lack an understanding of how to deal with such children. I feared for my child's safety at this school from the other students which is why I reassigned them. A 7th grade Administrator failed to follow up on knowledge of something that drastically effected my child's safety. This 7th grade Administrator, failed my child and many other students. She did not do her job to protect my child. She then ignored my calls and emails with particular questions about the school. The Principal listened,but I did not get the impression he truly cared, just more feared the consequences of the Administrator's failure. I did not get the impression that they cared my child would be coming back-more the feeling that they did not want problems (questions from concerned parents). The children at this school are very rough.
This school is good. I don't want to say that it's the best thing ever because that would be a lie. But hey? No school is perfect! The teachers are AMAZING.I am going into eighth grade and I'm excited. There is alot of drama at this school but every school has drama. The new principal has made alot of changes but some of them are good. The dress code was changed but at least the people don't dress inappropriate. But it has gone a bit to far. On holidays you are forced to wear the dress code. What if we wore a red polo on Christmas? It's not inappropriate. All types of self expression is eliminated You can wear necklaces and bracelets or cool shoes but if the shoes are too much you cannot wear them. Also the lunch. That is ridiculous. Sit by class. I'm not in elementary school!!! But overall the principal has made some good changes and some that aren't needed. But he is a really nice guy. The band director is amazing. If you want to play music this is the perfect school for you. This director is one of the best in Florida. Don't even consider another school if your interested in band. Academically this school is great.This school has taught me so much. Overall this school is great.
Walter C. Young was an amazing experience for me. The teachers I have had care about the students and are willing to educate, the most important thing a teacher could do. For a student interested in extracurriculars, it's the only middle school in South Florida to have an orchestra (although I hear it's been reduced to a club), and the band is great. As for sports, while they are not spectacular, WCY is next to Flanagan HS, whose sports program is amazing, so it's relatively easy to get in touch with HS athletes. There's a tremendous diversity of clubs, as well, and WCY has a decent math team. Overall, I think the school set me up well for HS, and I am grateful to have been blessed with such an incredible MS experience. -Former Student
This school is the worst. From a student's point of view, the Administration doesn't care about the student's opinions. They recently put us to sit with our classes at lunch, which makes us look like a bunch of elementary students. If we don't have friends in that class, we are forced to sit with other students in silence while we eat our lunch. This also crumbles our group of friends seeing that we don't get to talk to them anywhere but lunch. Also, the school is kept dirty with no soap in the bathrooms and occasionally there will be toilet paper. The water fountains are also covered in gunk. I advise you to not send your child to this school. Ever since the new principal has come in, the school has gone down hill. Two years of being principal and all of the students are already against him. And, he doesn't take it well when students want to voice their opinions. He immediately gives a detention or even suspension if you petition against one of the rules at school. :(
Great school! My child attended New Renaissance Middle School prior to enrolling at WCYMS, I am so impressed with not only the academics that my child receives but the care of the staff. My daughter's behavior and attitude has change tremendously the past year since I transferred her to Walter C. Young Middle School. Keep striving at being the best!
Great school!!! Thanks to the teachers and staff for encouraging students to continue their education and become successful in life. My sons are doing very well!!!
Awsome school! My son love it! They have lots of great programs too!
Walter C Young Middle is a great school. I wen there and do not regret it. It has good teachers and I havelearned so much there, sure there are a few that aren't that good but most of them have taught me life long skills. This is only public middle school in south broward that has orchestra, the pembroke pines charter middle schools do not have orchestras while this school does. The orchestra here prepares you for the Flanagan High School orchestra which is truly amazing. Being a resource center it hosts the Relay for Life giving students in the school a big chance to take an important role in it since they can get so invovled. There are a lot of activities compared to the local charter middle schools, and the sports aren't very good but they help prepare you for Flanagan High School's awesome sports team.
WCYM has been an outstanding school for my child. The school exceeded all of my expectations and I feel that my daughter was overly prepared for high school.Every teacher at WCY speaks English and speaks it well. WCY is a great school with great students and great teachers.
I am not satisfied with this school. I feel alienated. Some of the teachers seem not to care about the students'progress. Also, how can students speak proper English if the teachers do not. In short,having come from Lakeside Elementary to this is culture shock.
I am very impressed with the academic standard and the discipline that are maintained in the school. The teachrs in the 8th grade where my child is are very enthusiastic and vibrant. Her electives, Peer Counseling and Peer court have given my child immense skills in mediation, advocacy,and confidential counselling. I have no doubt that these skills will mold her later career choices.
Great school, Great teachers, always available to me. My second son is now attending here. As in any school, if you are a parent and involved with your child, they will thrive. Both my boys are involved in activities outside of school, so I cant comment about extra curricular programs. The teachers really CARE and were always very responsive to the boys needs. It is a shame the high school this school feeds into is so poor. They should take some lessons from WCY! Facilities are EXCELLENT for a Middle school!
PTA: good at getting the funds from you but never gave an update, or called again. Pros:1)A rating,@)good selection of core classes taught at appropriate level.3) Good selection of electives. 4)Teachers care and are knowledgeable Cons: electives grading is too easy. They do not challenge the children. Most do not even have tests. The kids even realize that its a joke when the questions and answers are reviewed before the tests. 2) Focus it too high on passing all kids, even when they need to fail. I had one child that dragged behind by his choice (F's four quarters), They constantly gave him makeups even for his FCAt's. 3)they have poor control over class, kids are out of line. 4)few sports provided, though they have a great gym and field. 6)uniforms are not enforced, or kept neat. 7)teachers are understaffed and undersupplied with tools and materials.
My son, graduating to high school in the fall, had many challenges throughout the past year. His Spanish teacher was changed three times. I believe that the school has found a permanent teacher now. He did much better in the second part of the year. The faculty seem to be very willing to meet with parents and there are a number of teachers who do their best to bring out the best in your child.

Agencies awarded more than $2.3 billion to small disadvantaged companies through sole-source contracts without the required justification because regulators were slow to put a new rule in place, according to a Government Accountability Office report released Dec. 12.
Section 811 of the fiscal 2010 National Defense Authorization Act requires agencies to submit written justification for awarding sole-source contracts worth more than $20 million to 8(a) firms. When the legislation was enacted in April 2010, officials had 180 days to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation to reflect the new rule. However, the rule was not in place until March 2011, by which time agencies had awarded $2.3 billion in such contracts without justification.
The Office of Federal Procurement Policy attributed the delays primarily to the process for consulting American Indian tribes and Alaska Native Corporations on the requirements, GAO reported. The Small Business Administration's 8(a) business development program aims to strengthen the position of small companies owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in the federal marketplace, which includes firms owned by American Indians and Alaska Native Corporations.
Five agencies awarded 14 large sole-source set-aside contracts from the time the law was enacted and the rule was in place. Only three of those contracts complied with the new rule — two awarded by the Air Force and one by the State Department.
According to GAO, the remaining agencies did not comply with the rule because contracting officers did not know about it or were confused about the requirements and relied on guidelines in the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984. CICA justifications have different requirements, such as listing sources that expressed interest in the acquisition.
OFPP and the General Services Administration agreed with GAO's recommendation that they clarify when 8(a) justifications are required. In addition, SBA officials said they would spread the word about the new rule and ensure that agencies submit justifications for the contracts, which SBA must approve.
For its report, GAO also conducted a review of contracting data in the Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation and found that the government has tended to award fewer sole-source contracts to small businesses in recent years. Compared to fiscal 2008 through 2010, the number and value of those contracts declined significantly in 2011. Agencies awarded only 20 such contracts, after awarding more than 50 in fiscal 2010.
In response to GAO's findings, one small-business group said the law was not being implemented as intended. Kevin Allis, executive director of the Native American Contractors Association (NACA), said the justification rule has drastically affected American Indian contractors in the federal marketplace.
"In a time of economic recovery, it is imperative that native community-owned federal contractors, who are job-creating small businesses, are able to participate in the federal marketplace as intended," he said. "This report clearly shows that our communities are being unfairly, and disproportionately, harmed by Section 811."
Agencies are choosing to view Section 811 as a cap rather than a threshold that triggers the justification process, association officials said.
They pointed to GAO's finding that the Naval Sea Systems Command has issued guidance to its contracting officers requiring justification for sole-source 8(a) contracts that exceed $4 million as evidence that agency officials are going beyond the scope of law.

Using Theater as a living Time Machine
Since launching The Butterfly Project on Holocaust Remembrance Day April 19th, 2012, our company has performed for our families and friends, seniors living in a retirement community, and middle and high school students. The company of 37 young actors and two adult actresses will tour to forty schools, places of worship and community centers this season, sharing the story of the children of Terezin, a concentration camp of the Holocaust. Following each performance, we invite the audience to stay for a talk back with the actors.
In rehearsals, we worked diligently to prepare our performers for this difficult production. Our process began with several long conversations explaining the history and circumstances of the Holocaust and Terezin. From there we explored our own emotional point of view through guided group theatrical exercises and introspective journaling. The result is a complex piece of theatre relatable to our actors' peers yet sophisticated and sincere enough to engage adult audiences.
The post-show talk backs prove this. Each audience reflects its unique perspective and relationship to the Holocaust and our production. We hear from people who remember living through World War II and the Holocaust. We are asked questions from young students who might not know much about the period at all. This cross-cultural, multi-generational conversation between actor and audience reveals the magnitude of impact our company has on our community.
During a post show conversation at a local retirement community, an audience member asked the cast how their participation in the production changed their relationship to their grandparents. One young lady (who is wise beyond her years, I might add) shared a beautiful sentiment. She told us her grandmother, who had lived through this moment in time, passed away when she was much younger. The young actress was not old enough then to appreciate her grandmother's stories and now yearns to know more about her. Each time she leaves her world for our Terezin, she imagines living through her grandmother's youth. In this way, she feels forever connected to the woman she only began to know.
This piece of theater functions as our own time machine. Through performance we relive moments from the past. In conversation, we connect our past to our present. By process, we enhance the collective memory of our young actors and instill values that will guide their future.
-Tim Popp, Co-Director The Butterfly Project

WASHINGTON (AP) - A group that wants to build a National Museum of the American People in Washington to tell the history of immigration is calling on Congress to jump-start the effort.
The group is announcing Wednesday that it has support from 130 ethnic and minority organizations. It's asking Congress to support a bipartisan federal commission to study establishing such a museum.
Organizer Sam Eskenazi says the Smithsonian museums hold many cultural artifacts. But he says those museums don't tell the story of how immigration and migration formed the nation.
Eskenazi isn't deterred by Congress' focus on cutting spending. He says the museum could be built with private funds.
The New York-based group already is proposing five sites near the National Mall.

ATI X1200 driver issues - OUT OF RANGE
Hello all, I am here in a desperate attempt to beg for help. I rarely ask for help so this is hard for me to do.
I will try to give as much information as I can (I may give too much). I have also taken all the screen shots I can in the hope it can speed this up.
I have also listed all the things I have tried to fix this over the last 2 days (And failed... Ouch)

The issues solved:
I had Windows 7 working until I thought it would be a good idea to wipe it and put on a fresh Windows 8. I hated Windows 8 and thought I would go back to Windows 7.When I LAST installed Windows 7 I had issues with the screen before. I had to go into safe mode and adjust the settings and then it all worked with no issues.
So, when I did this instalation I had the same issues. When half way through the instalation and you reboot you get "OUT OF RANGE" come up on the screen (not a Windows message but a monitor message) and you get a blank screen. Windows 7 is working. To fix this is rebooted into Safe mode and got into cmd promt and disabled the ATI x1200 drivers so Windows used the basic one. Then all installed fine.
The new (BIG) issues:
Now unlike before after I tried to install ATI CCC with the driver and software it all went odd. I rebooted into Safe Mode like before but when I went into Display I got this (Link to image) all looks great right? Looks perfect. But when I go into CCC (To show it is installed) I get this (link to image).
So I am unable to get into the settings. And it is telling me that no ATI driver is installed... But as you see it is. The one it is using is the one that Windows 7 put on. So I switched to the CCC version as shown here (Link) but the same problems happen... No difference. I have also rebooted in both versions in normal and safe mode but nothing.
Now if I go into my display settings I get this (Link) which sadly none of the resolutions work with this monitor (It tells me to use 1440x900). If I use ANY of these even the lowest (800x600) in normal mode I get "OUT OF RANGE" again.
Just to note. On my old Windows 7 it came up with ATI x1200 as my display. It had all the settings for it on the display tab.
I think one of the issues with the "OUT OF RANGE" is the refresh rate. I am unable to change it as shown here (Link)
Please help. I have searched all over the internet for 2 days now hoping I can do this without asking for help (I sort of enjoy problems but its gone of way to long now and the family are starting to stare at me funny now)
I have reinstalled Windows 7 twice now. All times it has done this same thing.
Thanks again, any questions are welcome!
EDIT: The version of CCC I am using is: 10-02_legacy_vista32-64_dd_ccc incase it is needed
EDIT 2: Just to note. For my family I am going to install Windows XP for now. I have a copy some place. So to save my pride I do hope some of you can help me.
EDIT 3: If needed please move this to Drivers as thinking about it it may be the best place... but I am not 100% sure.
EDIT 4: I also used the ATI AutoDetect and it came back with this (Link)

What drivers are shown in Device Manager for the Display Adapter?
I suggest the following sequence:
Uninstall the Catalyst package.
Uninstall the display adapter, and remove the drivers (if they're not the generic VGA drivers).
Restart the PC.
Install the catalyst package.
Best of luck.

I'm out of my depth here. Can you uncheck "hide modes that this monitor cannot display", and manually select 1440X900 at 60Hz?
Other random suggestions:
Try a different video cable, if yours isn't permanently affixed to the monitor.
Borrow another monitor and test with that.
I have a 19" CRT I'd be willing to part with, but the shipping would be prohibitive

Thanks bobkn,
I can attach a monitor and it will work. Installing 7 is done now but I still have these errors. I am also unable to check or change anything to do with refresh or screen size.
I have now installed XP and all is working 100% correct,. This shows that the card and monitor is working fine.
What I may do is reinstall 7 with a friends 7 disc and see if "maybe" it has an error on it.
if I get this working I will post my findings so no one else has this issue.

Windows 7 x64 and numerous virtual machines
ATI Catalyst
That is a link to the best drivers, the fundamental issue is the card is no longer supported for Windows 7 as it is too weak. If you can get a more modern cheap card that will be a good upgrade. Try installing Windows 7 with a different monitor and then connect your monitor and adjust it in safe mode. The version of drivers you are trying to install is much older than the last legacy version in the link I provided.

Ok. Will do. Thank you for your help
EDIT: it is the same one I am using. Just checked.
I did try starting in Safemode again and changing the screen, no help.
I will be getting a friends 7 CD today so maybe it is the installation.
I will be buying a new graphics card soon but need to use this one for now. I got it working before I installed Windows 8 (Hated it so put Windows 7 back) and since i reverted back it has done this. before it was 100% working on the same setup.
Thanks for your advice though

More than half of the 2.6 million Iraq and Afghanistan veterans say they struggle with physical or mental health problems as a result of their service and feel detached from civilian life, according to a poll conducted by The Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation.
The Washington Post: A Legacy Of Pain And Pride
More than half of the 2.6 million Americans dispatched to fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan struggle with physical or mental health problems stemming from their service, feel disconnected from civilian life and believe the government is failing to meet the needs of this generation's veterans, according to a poll conducted by The Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation. The long conflicts, which have required many troops to deploy multiple times and operate under an almost constant threat of attack, have exacted a far more widespread emotional toll than previously recognized by most government studies and independent assessments: One in two say they know a fellow service member who has attempted or committed suicide, and more than 1 million suffer from relationship problems and experience outbursts of anger — two key indicators of post-traumatic stress (Chandrasekaran, 3/29).
