Skip to comments.The Fight to Reform Education
Posted on 02/05/2012 5:20:55 AM PST by Kaslin
Would any concerned parent willingly send their children to an average public school in this country if there was an option available?
The word concerned in the question should be a tipoff that the answer is no. Still, states, localities and the federal government continue to dump billions of our hard-earned tax dollars into a system that is rotten to its core.
Dont think things are that bad? A student in Washington state named Austin took a video camera into his schools cafeteria and asked students basic questions about U.S. history. The answers, although funny, are pathetic.
Progressives say its because teachers are forced to teach to the test meaning standardized tests designed to measure knowledge of important topics such as English, science and math. Lee White, executive director of the National History Coalition, told the Huffington Post, "They've narrowed the curriculum to teach to the test. History has been de-emphasized. You can't expect kids to have great scores in history when they're not being taught history." That would hold some water, of course, if those students who failed at history were excelling at other topics. But theyre not.
President Obama has attempted to address the problem of our failing education system in each of his three State of the Union addresses, but his solution, as always, is only to spend more money. But if money was the problem, wed be leading the world in education. We are not.
Progressives will tell you were spending a lower percentage of our GDP on education than other countries, which is true. But when it comes to per-pupil spending the measure that matters most were near the top.
Our education spending has skyrocketed. Our test scores have not.
A new study by Harvard researchers (yes, Harvard) found class size, the oft-cited straw man used by progressives to urge the hiring of more union teachers, essentially doesnt matter. But real facts, real evidence rarely plays a role when it comes to progressives pushing their agenda, so this wont matter either.
If meaningful reform is to come, and thats a big if, its going to come from the state level.
One person actually trying to bring change to public education is Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
The Wall Street Journal says Gov. Jindal wants to create Americas largest school voucher program, broadest parental choice system and toughest teacher accountability regime all in one legislative session.
School choice and a voucher program that allows students and parents to choose any school that best suits their needs have been proven winners in the fight to improve education quality. Theyve also been the top target of teachers unions because families often choose private schools where the teaching staff is not unionized.
Gov. Jindal believes that every child deserves an equal opportunity in education, but that the current system doesn't allow for it. Emboldened by what has happened in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina, Gov. Jindal is now pushing for statewide education reform.
Educational choice is one of the few good things to come out of the storm, which laid waste to dozens of the nations worst public schools. Instead of rebuilding the old, failing system, the state transformed most of the schools in Orleans Parish into autonomous charter schools.
Student achievement has improved dramatically, and in a poll last summer by the New Orleans Times-Picayune, two-thirds of parents in the city said they prefer the new system over the old one, and 98 percent said choice should be part of any future reforms in the state. The biggest challenge has been how to squeeze more students into the most successful of the charters.
Gov. Jindals plan would allow students in failing schools statewide to take the roughly $8,500 the state spends on their education to any accredited school they wish. The threatened loss of money would apply market forces to bad schools that routinely fail without consequence. Needless to say, unions representing teachers dont like the idea.
Teachers unions also arent crazy about the governors idea to reform tenure, the mechanism that makes it nearly impossible to fire bad teachers. His plan would grant it to teachers rated highly effective, but deny it to those who dont make the grade no matter how long theyve taught.
Also along those lines, Jindals plan also would end the practice of last in, first out the laying off of young teachers simply because they havent been on the job as long as others. This would allow schools to keep effective teachers and rid itself of bad ones which research indicates does make a significant difference in students educational achievement. These reforms make sense to anyone without a vested interest in the status quo, meaning union bosses and progressives.
Michael Walker Jones, executive director of the Louisiana Association of Educators, said of the school choice plan, If I'm a parent in poverty I have no clue because I'm trying to struggle and live day to day. Jindal and choice advocates could not have written a more tone-deaf line for their opponents if theyd tried.
Progressives think everyone but them is simply too dumb and/or distracted to negotiate school choice. You have no clue, but they, helpfully, know what is best for you and your children as evidenced by the state of public education in America today. Its the philosophy behind every progressive policy idea from education to financial reform to ObamaCare. It is rare and refreshing to hear one of them actually say it.
Jones, in working to stop needed reforms, gave reformers their greatest arrow in a quiver full of arrows tipped with facts, studies and statistics. As Jindal continues his push to improve education in his state, there will be more gaffes of this sort. Progressives arent used to being openly challenged on such a large scale. Gov. Jindal is. For the sake of Louisianas students, lets hope he wins.
Bottom line Progressivism is a kinder gentler more humanitarian, communism. Slo and easy wins the race, we just happened to wake up when the house was on fire
What idiot wrote THAT?
Where is there data, adjusted for race and language, that suggests ANY relationship between per-pupil spending and outcome?
Public ed is welfare. First of all, don't indulge in it. That you're paying for it, doesn't make it right for you to use it. Second, it's run by anti-American leftists devoted to producing more anti-American leftists without having to sacrifice their most precious sacrament, abortion. They have to replicate somehow, and YOUR baby is that somehow.
Per my tagline, it's government cheese. And it stinks!
Like The War On Poverty, the more money poured into it the worse it gets.
Not everyone can afford private schools and not everyone can home teach, so they have choice then to send their kids to public schools
Although the puppet strings are longer, charter schools are not really much better than public. Vouchers, or at least 100% tax credits are a very good alternative. The best choice is no governmental intrusion at all.
BTW, I am a teacher. I've noticed that the best and brightest young teachers usually leave in the first few years - the slugs never do.
Speaking as someone who appreciates home schooling, parochial and private schooling, this is still a poorly written hit piece using bad arguments.
1) Using "ambush interviews" is a way to guarantee bad answers. Walk up to a random *adult*, shove a microphone in their face, and ask them to name the justices of the Supreme Court, and most people will sound like idiots. But if you give them a few minutes to think, and they will be able to name several, some being able to name them all.
2) "Average public school" is meaningless. What is the most "average" U.S. state? New York or Utah? In a teacher's union collective bargaining or right-to-work state?
3) The three big problems of public education are federal intrusion, state incompetence and corruption, and teachers union and "ivory tower leftist" disruption.
The first two of these feed off of each other, with some of the state legislatures using public schools for patronage jobs and unfair allocation of resources based on many things. But federal involvement is ridiculously expensive, taking money and student learning time away for whimsical and indoctrination purposes.
The federal intrusion is often done under threat of taking away funding for the federal school lunch program. But they have placed so many demands that some states are considering making the FSLP voluntary. If a school opts out, it can still provide lunches in its budget, but it will be freed of tons of paperwork and students will have more time for their studies.
Teachers unions are now being challenged by states stripping away the collective bargaining rights of teachers, which makes teachers no longer "blue collar", but "white collar", with rewards that are performance based.
The worst "ivory tower leftist" interference was with the creation of Noam Chomsky's 'whole language English' instruction, that systematically wiped out near educational parity of black students with white students, condemning million of black children to life long poverty. As such, Chomsky has done more to "keep the black man down" than did Jefferson Davis.
Despite the enthusiastic support of idealistic young teachers, indoctrinated as they have been in such dreck, their utter failure means that such schemes must be prohibited if students are to succeed.
The bottom line is that yes, there is a place for public schooling, but only if such schools are supported by parents, school boards, and states, and required to perform or perish.
The cream:
Name a country that begins with "U"...
Public educated kid: "Utopia".
Another PEK: "Europe" (probably would spell it Urope)
Yes, I am aware of the existence of the poor.
The poor must rely on welfare for their housing, cars, food, medical care -- and education.
Those who do not rely on welfare for housing, cars, food, medical care, etc., cannot make much of a case for their inability to provide education for their children. Unless we are talking about people who are poor in spirit or poor in intelligence...?
Thanks for reminding me about taxes! :)
The average monthly mortgage payment is around $1500. Add in a typical property tax, say $500 a month. Housing for the home "owner" comes to $2000 a month.
Typical rent, say $1000. Property tax: zero. (In fact, you may even qualify for a rebate!)
Home "owner" housing: $2000
Apartment dweller housing: $1000
I would say to the home "owners" who indulge in education welfare: you CAN afford it if you WANT to give your children a superior education rather than government-cheesy indoctrination. Rent rather than own. It's a matter of priorities, though. Whatever you're getting out of home ownership that you can't get from renting, be aware what it's really costing you: not just an extra thousand a month. What price a quality education, what price dignity?
We keep hearing from some quarters that if we reform public schools yet again, they'll produce better results. Others say that if we go back in time and run public schools like they used to be run, they'll produce better results. Those claims are not true. Public schools have never produced good results and they never will. They were not designed to build young minds and give them knowlege and skills. The real history of public education is easily accessed online and proves that.
Reforming public education is like trying to reform a brothel or, in a more extreme example, like trying to reform a concentration camp.
I forgot to ping you to Posting #12.
First, I forgot to ping you to Posting #12.
I do understand why so many homeowners send their children to public schools. They attended them, their parents attended them, and virtually everyone they knew attended them. They can't imagine that education can be done in any other way.
**ALL** renters pay property taxes! The tax is part of the fee the landlord must charge to cover his expenses and make a profit. ( Is a "duh!" needed here?)
**Everyone** in this nation who spends money pays taxes to support our nation's system of godless socialist-entitlement schools. Why? Answer: Because business must include its godless socialist school property taxes in the cost of every product or service that it sells. Businesses **must** do this if they are to make a profit.
By the way,....How much working experience have you had in the private sector? Are you a teacher in one of our nation's godless socialist-entitlement K-12 schools? ( Just wondering)
Behind every teacher and principal in our nation's godless socialist schools stand armed police to enforce the law.
The "choice" you're promoting is really the "choice" between sending a child into a godless and Marxist run indoctrination center or police and court action and possible prison ( or worse). Wow! Some "choice"! /s
As for home and private schooling, these parents are being given an "offer they can't refuse". They can send their child to the godless government camps, or they can pay the jizya or ransom needed to keep their kids out of these moral cesspools and to keep themselves out of prison.
Again,...Some "choice"! The Godfather would be soooo proud! /s
Government schooling is a socialist-entitlement. Simply by attending children risk learning to be comfortable with taking money from a neighbor for a tuition-free service. Well?...If government and the voting mob can give them tuition-free school, why not use the government and the voting mob to get **lots** of "free" stuff?
Our nation's system of socialist-entitlement schooling is GODLESS! Simply by attending the child will learn to think and reason godlessly. He must just to cooperate in the classroom. How could it be otherwise?
And...Even at their best our nation's socialist schools offered up a non-neutral, generic, and lukewarm Protestantism. What does Christ do with the lukewarm? He spits them out of His mouth!
It is like trying to reform an abortion center.
Government schools are utterly godless in their worldview. Just to cooperate in the classroom the child must learn to think and reason godlessly. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MORAL MIND WOULD DO THAT TO A CHILD?????
I hold those who work in the nation's godless socialist schools in as much contempt as I do those who work in abortion centers. Geeze! At least the little murdered babies fly directly into the arms of Jesus. Far, far, far too many of the kids subjected to the godless government indoctrination suffer sad consequences all their temporal and possibly eternal lives.
Until mandatory education ends at eighth grade, the problem is hopeless.
Inasmuch as I was making the point that most anyone can, if they really desire, homeschool or opt for private school; and that the argument of unaffordability is usually weak; I'm going to assume you have entirely misunderstood my post.
Hidden taxes are beside the point as well. I was simply demonstrating how the typical budget reflects choices which could be otherwise, if the parents rearranged priorities.
As to my personal experience I'd prefer to keep that to myself.
Quality education is also an investment. As I mentioned, it all depends on your priorities. You want to risk having your children indoctrinated into socialism, and then rely on them to support you in your old age...go right ahead.
Yes, poverty of imagination certainly has a lot to do with it. Likewise, I suppose people whose families were homeowning are probably not going to think seriously about sacrificing that lifestyle by becoming apartment dwellers, for their children's educational improvement. But they could.
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
It is a refutation of the Progressive (aka Communist)argument "smallest percentage of the GDP." IT is not implying that dollars per child is a valid measure of performance.
Back in '87, I was a teacher. In '88 we had an influx of older people - not blaming them, the state was hiring, the economy at the time wasn't (It was when Soros broke our country for his own gain)
Standards improved dramatically for a couple of years. Attendance up. Grades up without being fiddled. Student enthusiasm WAY up.
Teaching was actually a complete joy for this time. I'd wake up and be eager to get to work, there is no better feeling than seeing a concept suddenly "click" in someone's mind. It is better than sex. (coarse, but you get the point)
Of course, our government worked hard to remove these new teachers. Piled paper requirements on us until most left from exhaustion.
But, it is a thought. True conservatives tend to be, to put it delicately, older. A couple years teaching in a school between retiring from work and actually retiring and who knows what change you can make.
Wasn't it the communist idea to change the system from within? Any reason why conservatives shouldn't borrow that tactic?
I know our system is slightly different from yours. I also know what I saw with my own eyes. It works. For a while.
Homeschooling is and should be always the preference. Every kid is different, and it is a lot harder to snow Mom or Dad than a teacher looking after 30 kids at once. Yet a lot of parents, especially now, cannot afford one earner to stay home. It is bad, but it is what it is.
My kids, bless them, went to school (homeschooling is not a viable option here), came home, did their homework in about 15 minutes, THEN started the real lessons of the day. The wife and I traded off days, depending on our own workloads.
We do it now, with the grandkids. The 4 year old has a tested reading age of 12, and a complete immunity to pain (I babysit him in the workshop). The eldest two could get into any university in the country right now, academically speaking. They are a bit young yet though.
Government schooling must be abolished.
There are three fundamental problems with government schooling that can not be fixed because they are **intrinsic to the very foundation of the system. In fact, we should completely stop using the expressions "public" schools or government schools. They are really **socialist** schools because they are the very definition of a single payer socialist-entitlement program. /p>
1) It is impossible to have a religiously, culturally, and politically neutral education, and the worldview of socialist schooling reflects the religion, culture, and politics of the biggest political bully. If it is a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination for atheistic Marxists to impose their religious, cultural, and political worldview on unwilling students and taxpayers, it is just as much of an abomination for conservatives to impose their worldview on the children of the liberal/Marxists.
2) The religious worldview ( by default) in government socialist schooling is godless secular humanism. Simply by attending children must think and reason godlessly just to cooperate in the classroom. How could it be otherwise? Even at their very best, modern government socialist schooling ( beginning in the mid-1800s) merely offered up a lukewarm and generic Protestantism. We know what Christ does with the lukewarm. He spits them out of His mouth! This can not be fixed. No matter what action the government socialist school takes regarding religion it will establish the religious worldview of some and utterly trash the beliefs of others.
3) Government socialist schooling is the very definition of a socialist-entitlement program. Simply by attending children risk learning that the government and the voting mob has great power to take money from a neighbor to pay for their tuition-free schooling. Well?...Why not use the government and the voting mob to take money from a neighbor for **lots** of socialist goodies?
Please accept my apology. I did miss your point.
Far too many parents make excuses for not homeschooling or private schooling rather than making the sacrifices needed to get their kids out of these moral cesspools.
I do want to point out, though, that renters do pay property taxes. In fact, school property taxes are hidden in every service and good that we purchase. It just sets my teeth on edge that just to survive I must pay tribute to the godless temples of atheism ( misnamed "public" schools). This is what set me off, and I responded to your post without reading to the end.
"...and our nation's system of schooling is the very definition of socialism."
And so is our military, in many ways. Granted that private, parochial, and home schooling are superior to public education, the latter still has a function, when it is operating properly, which is to produce a large number of average employees.
And that was its function from the very start.
Importantly, the alternative to public education is *not* a better education for the majority, but even *less* education. And that is unacceptable, because the result would be incapable public charges. America just doesn't need that many ditch diggers.
Believe me, the arguments you are making were being made in the early 1980s, and there were great hopes that somehow the personal computer could overcome this harsh truth. Somehow, some way, breaking the mediocrity-at-best of the public education system.
Charter schools have helped a lot in breaking the near monopoly, as have vouchers.
Right now, the state of AZ has proposed a radical change, so that schools can opt out of the federal school lunch program. When the bureaucrats in Washington figure it out they are going to freak out, because the vast majority of federal control over schools has been implemented under threat of taking away the FSLP. If a school opts out, it can kiss off huge amounts of federal intrusion and expense.
It will have a lot more money and time to teach, and it will leave schools that still have the FSLP millstone around their necks in the dust, academically.
However bad public schools may have been in the past they are MUCH, MUCH worse now! The typical recent public high school graduate in this area may have what was a sixth grade public school education fifty or sixty years ago. As far as history knowledge goes I can tell you from personal experience that we have recent UNIVERSITY GRADUATES WHO MAJORED IN HISTORY in this area who could not pass a seventh grade history final from my era. We have teachers teaching in public high schools who would not have stood a chance of graduating from the public high schools of sixty years ago. Some of them couldn't pass the test to be ADMITTED to a public high school of that era.
It will have a lot more money to **FORCE** a godless worldview on captive children and **FORCE** citizens to pay for this non-neutral government establishment of a godless religious worldview!
It will still have plenty of money to **FORCE** children into socialist schools. Merely by attending the children risk learning to be comfortable with socialism and their socialist tuition-free entitlement. Gee! If government and the voting mob can give them tuition free school, why not use that power to get **lots** of "free" socialist goodies?
Finally, these socialist schools will still be a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination!
Seeing as you are my favorite freeper and I agree with you 100% on the evil of public ed, your apology is cheerfully accepted. :o)
"Until mandatory education ends at eighth grade, the problem is hopeless."
You make an interesting point. High school is a waste of time. I have needed nothing that I studied there and it's been over 20 years since I graduated.
Thank you.
Even in my school, and in almost all others, the warehousing of "students" who don't belong there and who don't want to be there consumes a huge and disproportionate share of resources.
If people can't agree that the ones who shouldn't be there should be free after age 13, then let them set up concentration camps for them.
High school should be for those who can benefit, and who want to be there.
The biggest problem is forced pretending.
Well, if high school was about education you would be right. It's not. It's about indoctrination. That's why it doesn't work the way you think it should. It isn't hard to figure out a solution to the problem if you have correctly identified the problem.
The fact that kids are forced to be there demonstrates that public school is about indoctrination, not education.
For those who don't want to be in high school, apprenticeships can be an option. It's done in some European nations (Switzerland, for example) and they seem to work very well.
I had no idea that came from Chomsky the communist. I remember when that was first introduced, my oldest was in 2nd grade and I had an argument with his teacher about it. I lost, they were going to shove it down his throat anyway. So I bought a phonics reading package from a customer of mine, got educated about how important reading by phonics was and taught my two younger children how to read before they reached 1st grade.
Yes my children were educated in the public schools but I did what I could to prevent indoctrination. Finally had to move them out of the area to a small rural town in Oregon where the teachers were farmers and ranchers and taught hunter safety courses on the school grounds. My oldest graduated from Elkton High School in the year 2000 with 23 other kids!! 85 was the total student body count grades 9-12.
bump for later
Here's an idea to save money without costing the taxpayer a dime:
Allow any student of any age to take the GED or similar private exam. If they pass, award them a high school diploma from their local high school. As it is now, students must be a certain age or older before they are permitted to take the GED.
By having a regular high school diploma bright and ambitious students would be able to qualify for college scholarships and loans, attend trade school, or start their careers many years earlier instead wasting time in their local government kiddie prison ( oops! "school"). It would save the taxpayer money, as well.
By the way, no student should be given a high school diploma without passing the GED or similar exam, and no teacher should be teaching in a government school who couldn't pass it as well.
Almost all the trouble we now have in the United States has come from a commie or a progressive trying to use the government to reform something.
Unions are interested in protecting systems and
monopolies,not people.Keeping the status quo is easier than
innovating.If vouchers are going to "siphon money from government schools" (as they claim) why isn't the same true in higher education?
I don't hear state college professors running around crying about Pell grant("government dollars")money "unfairly" being used to attend St.Thomas,Gustavus,St.Johns or
other private religiously affiliated schools. What happened to the imaginary wall of church and state there?
Since government doesn't create wealth and only consumes it, how can it give parents back what was always theirs anyway?
Part of the beauty of being an American is choices.Look in the yellow pages. Thirty-one flavors or thirty thousand attorneys to choose from. Variety is a good thing.Some may choose for proximity,some for class size,some for shared belief systems,or a class for gifted mathematicians.Why is choice and competition considered good in everything except education?

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Gov. Brad Henry has signed an executive
order naming "Do You Realize??" by the Flaming Lips as the state's official rock song despite opposition by Republican lawmakers who objected to a band member wearing a T-shirt bearing a Communist symbol.
Henry signed the proclamation Tuesday flanked by the four members of the Oklahoma City-based alternative rock band. This time band member Michael Ivins wore a "Ghostbusters" T-shirt.
He stirred criticism from some GOP members of the Oklahoma House
when he appeared at the Capitol on March 2 wearing a shirt emblazoned with the hammer and sickle symbol of the Communist Party. The House defeated a measure to make "Do You Realize??" the state song, but Henry went ahead with his executive order, saying the public supported the choice.

SAN ANTONIO - With light rain falling on the Alamo, a group of Texas history devotees on Tuesday marked the 168th anniversary of the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico.
Rep. Tom Craddick, speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, was the guest speaker at the ceremony sponsored by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.
Craddick, R-Midland, recounted the 59 Texians who gathered at Washington-on-the-Brazos for the March 2, 1836, signing, and compared their position to that of the band of defenders who died in the Battle of the Alamo four days later.
"They were not in the same danger as (the defenders) were here," he said while standing in front of the Alamo. "But they were also signing their death warrants."
In the end, the Texians succeeded in breaking away from Mexico after defeating the army of Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna at San Jacinto in late April 1836. Texas was a republic until it became a state nine years later.

Ram Needs To Make This 'Swamp Thing Green' Color A Real Option
Chrysler kept their Ram 2500 for SEMA pretty conservative, but I'm completely in love with the color. It's kind of a perfect medium between looking tough and subtle, with a hint of military utilitarianism. Can't imagine a modern truck this wouldn't look good on.

It's hard to beat living down South
My first pastorate was in an Indianapolis, Indiana, suburb. We enjoyed a beautiful city, wonderful people, and a good ministry. We made many friends there. I even tolerated the winter, sort of. There was one major drawback: it wasn't the South.

An Ashburton baby has been diagnosed with paratyphoid, a
highly contagious and rare disease.
The scare has prompted health authorities to alert parents of
children going to the same preschool as the affected child.
A Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) spokesperson said
the child had not attended the preschool while being unwell,
and "as far as we are aware there has been no spread".
"A child under 12 months has been diagnosed with paratyphoid
this week in Ashburton. The child was unwell with a high
fever and tummy pains," the spokesperson said.
"Parents at the childcare centre have been provided with
information on the illness, and children who have been unwell
are being asked to provide stool samples for testing."
The paratyphoid case comes off the back of a hepatitis A
epidemic in Ashburton, however health authorities said the
two illnesses were unrelated.
Paratyphoid fever is a bacterial disease similar but milder
than typhoid and is highly contagious, passed on through
faeces, similar to the spread of hepatitis A.
Its symptoms include a high fever, stomach pains,
constipation and a flat rose-coloured spots.
"It can be acquired from food of drink that have been handled
and contaminated by a person shedding the bacteria or if
contaminated sewerage gets into water," a CDHB health sheet
The disease is believed to infect 10-30 people in New Zealand
a year, with most cases introduced while overseas, mainly to
southern or eastern Asia.
However, the CDHB spokesperson said the infected child had no
travel history. An investigation was underway to find the
An infected person is usually treated by antibiotics and are
not allowed to return to preschool, school or work until they
have had clearance from a medical officer.

Charles Cornwallis
The movie character General Cornwallis is based on the factual Lt. General Charles Earl Cornwallis Cornwallis oversaw the British Army's in Carolinas in 1780 - 1781.
In the movie he was portrayed as being pompous but in fact he endeared himself to his men, so rather than watch the battle from a far,he served on the front lines and put himself in harms was constantly.
As seen in the movie, Cornwallis was the commander at the battle of Camden, defeating Major General Horatio Gates of the Continental Army.
He moved into North Carolina as in the movie because the frustration of Militia's that continually harassed his supply routes and outposts.
One of the Fictional parts of his role is when he complies to a truce with Benjamin Martin, as Martin trades the fake british soldiers for his militia captured by Cornwallis and his army.

Poland Seminary High School evacuated
Poland Seminary High School was evacuated at about 8 a.m. Wednesday after its HVAC system picked up an unrecognized odor, which was coming from a room near the school's main offices.
Everyone in the building was safely out by about 8:15 a.m., Poland Superintendent Don Dailey said. They remained outside for about 45 minutes before fire officials deemed it safe.
Dailey said nobody was harmed and classes have since resumed.
And here I thought Polands poop didn`t stink!
They sure act like it!

Great for dry skin due to Retin A
By Elizabeth
from Tennessee
About Me Classic Style
Comments about Lip & Body Treatment Balm - 0.5 oz:
I thought I was going to have to give up using Retin A during the winter. Nothing helped the dryness and in a fit of desperation, I daubed the lip and body balm on my cheeks and went to bed. I awoke to smooth, soft skin without any tightness or flakes. This balm is wonderful! Thank you , Paula!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best lip stuff I've ever tried
By Amos616
from Ann Arbor, MI
This winter my lips have cracked at the corners (to the point of bleeding) and the entire surface of my lips peel and slough off probably twice a day. I have orthodontics on and combined with the very windy cold winter, I think it's just killing my lips. None of the usual suspects were helping at all and some of them where even making it worse I think. Aquaphor Lip Repair helped a bit but not very much. Ordered this in desperation as I also have jaw surgery coming up and wanted to get my lips back in decent shape before adding to the trauma. I've used this for 3 days now and even on the first day, it was a world of improvement. Now they're back to normal and I'm even able to put lipstick on again (before it was NOT attractive with the peeling lips!!!) and am continuing to use this to keep them in healthy shape. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this product!

My holy grail lip balm!
By Jamie B
from Ohio
About Me Natural Style
This is the best lip balm I have EVER used! I've struggled with dry (and sometimes chapped) lips ever since I can remember. I've gone through tube after tube of different balms and chap sticks and nothing has had the effect this has had! I've even tried some of the 5 star rated ones on Beautypedia, and those had better performance for me than others, but THIS. THIS! After one day of use I felt SO MUCH BETTER. Seriously. As soon as it was delivered, I applied some, and then at night I took the corner of a wash cloth to exfoliate my lips, then applied this right before bed. The next morning they were SO SMOOTH. At the time of this review, I've had the balm for maybe around 5 days or so, give or take, and I am just so pleased with it! I'm very tempted to order a second one to keep in my purse, or to get a tube of the lip screen with SPF for my purse. GET THIS LIP BALM! Your lips will love you!

Just OK
By Dan
from New York
I had high hopes for this product, but it is just ok. While it helps in the moment my lips go right back to being chapped when I wake up. I will continue to use at night in the winter and maybe with regular use my lips will not get chapped to begin with.
At age 43 my quest is FINALLY over!!!
By Deb from Philly
from Austin, TX
My 46 year old sister and I have been on a quest through our adult lives to find the cure for our terrible winter lips. No one else we know have this problem as bad we do. We are constantly buing each other the newest "maybe works" lip balms/treatments. THIS IS NOW OUR HG!!!! We are both in love & will never stop using!! I bought one of these for both of us and the day after I got it I decided it was worth driving 2 hours to get her this product ASAP...LOL. If she had known how HG it is she would have come to me to get it. If the heat is on in any building that we are in for a couple of hours+, our lips will be severely chapped for days...so in the winter, you can imagine how bad they really get. No product has ever worked at all in healing our lips (vs. coating them to temporarily make them hurt less). This PC Lip & Body DOES HEAL our lips completely!! Both of us had terribly dry lips, peeling, cracking, super red when moist, super white when dry, hurt, & bleeding at times. The first night both of us used it we slathered it on before bed and woke up the following morning with PERFECT LIPS!!!! I did it the first night and after my long trip to take it to her she did it on the second night. We have had the product for about 2 weeks during the worst part of winter and both of us are in HEAVEN!!! We both put it on during the day if we feel like it (because the texture is lovely feeling/super smooth and stays on fairly well), but religiously we are putting on a generous layer before bed nightly. I really like putting my Buxom lipstick on top of it because it feels so amazing/similar textures!! Spectacular results!!! Spectacular product!!! Too inexpensive not to buy if you are on the fence about it!!
Lip licking girl's new best friend
By Sveta
from Brooklyn, ny
I am one of those people who cannot live without lip moisturizing several times today. I have lip balms in all of my pockets. Yet I always end up with cracked lips, chapped lips or even blisters. I got this about a week ago and my lips never looked better. My kids unfortunately inherited the same lip licking bad habit. Right before this product came in my son's lips look like he had Botox done. He had swollen red circles around his lips. Nothing was working. Put this on for him at night and next morning his lips looked so much better. Two days later his lips look like they do in the summer - nice and smooth. I am using SPF 50 PC balm mb during the day now as well.
Best Lip Balm Ever!
By andrea326
from Denver, CO
I have tried numerous lip balms on the market for my insanely dry lips. Nothing has ever worked, in fact the only products that seemed to do anything ended up causing further irritation. I purchased Paula's Choice lip balm and I could not believe there was anything out there this good. I no longer have flaky lips that burn and crack. Plus, I'm able to wear lipstick for the first time in my life, and the lipstick will last for hours. It is by far the best lip balm I have ever used!
The one that actually works
By EmmBee
from Wadsworth IL
About Me Brand Buyer
I had been using this product twice a day for a few years. In fact, I had forgotten that my lips got chapped in the winter here in the dry cold Midwest. Then I started thinking about how much more convenient lip balm in a stick is. So I switched to Blistex. After 10 days or so my lips started getting chapped. Wondered what was going on - then I realized, I was using different lip balm. As soon as I switched back to this product the problem went away. What more could you ask?

Great for cuticles, too
By Elle
from Wa state
This is great in the winter or anytime for dry lips. The men in my house love it too because it has no smell. It lasts a lot longer than many others I've tried. Probably not advertised for cuticles, but I rub it on mine at night and the skin around my nails. They get very dry from gardening and general house hold chores because I don't like wearing gloves that much.Another strange use.....my son uses this on his big toes. He recently had Ingrown nail surgery and was having very dry cuticles and skin. I rub this on at night and they are perfectly healthy now. This is great for any small and severely dry areas.

Home builder finds a home downtownBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | February 11,2013The iconic Gryphon Building has added another new tenant.
Mountain View Modular Homes has opened an office and showroom on the second floor of the office building at the corner of West Street and Merchants Row.
Mountain View Modular Homes specializes in custom-built modular homes, log homes, and garage packages. The company manufactures homes from starter models to custom-designed mansions.
Owner Drew Pierce said after running the business out of his home office, it was time to relocate to a more visible location with a showroom.
Pierce, a third-generation home builder, sells Ritz-Craft homes, a Pennsylvania manufacturer of custom-built modular homes.
He said he fills a niche market for people who want a custom home but dont want a stick built or manufactured home.
Its less expensive than stick building, more expensive than manufactured, Pierce said.
He said Ritz-Craft Corp. has finished homes that start for under $100,000. Pierce said hes currently doing a $300,000 home in Isle LaMotte.
At his showroom in the Gryphon Building, customers can pick out faucets, fixtures, cabinets, lights, carpets, flooring, siding and roofing material.
Pierce said his homes are also Energy Star rated for energy efficiency.
Mike Coppinger, Downtown Rutland Partnership executive director, said while ground floor retail space is visible to the public, the upper floors in the downtown provide an essential mix of services such as law firms, and accounting and insurance agencies.
A lot of those buildings, the majority are filled on those upper floors, Coppinger said. That helps landlords stabilize rents on the first floor.
Coppinger couldnt provide a percentage in terms of occupancy of the upper floors but said it was very healthy.
He said Pierces company (www.mountainviewmodulars.com) is the first of its kind of business to find a home in the downtown.
The Gryphon Building is one of several downtown properties owned by Mark Foley and his family.

Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen is asking for the public's help to identify a suspect in a car burglary incident in the Sand Hills area of Bay County.
On March 10, 2011, the suspect burglarized a truck on Tashanna Lane, off Spikes Road, off of Highway 77. Taken from the truck was the victim's wallet and medications.
On March 11, 2011, at about 1:00 a.m., the victim's credit card was used at the Wal-Mart on Panama City Beach. The suspect used the credit card to buy numerous items, many of which were for young children.
The suspect's image was captured on security cameras and he appears to be a white male, possibly with a moustache and goatee, left-handed, and using a wallet with a chain that he keeps in his back left pocket.
Anyone with information about this suspect is asked to call Sgt. Newsome at the Bay County Sheriff's Office at 248-2120 or Crime Stoppers at 785-TIPS.

The Heavenly Man (Paperback)
The dramatic autobiography of one of China's dedicated, courageous, and intensely persecuted house church leaders.
This is the gripping story of how God took a young, half-starved boy from a poor village in Henan province and placed him on the front line for Jesus, in the face of impossible odds. Instead of focusing on the many miracles or experiences of suffering, however, Yun prefers to focus on the character and beauty of Jesus. Interspersed with his personal account are contributions from his wife, Deling, made mostly during her husband's frequent periods of imprisonment. You will remember where you were the first time you read this life story. It's a watershed book that will turn the reader to prayer and praise. It deserves comparison with past classics such as "Tortured for Christ" by Richard Wurmbrand, or the "Life of Watchman Nee.
About the Author
Paul Hattaway is the international director of Asia Harvest, an organization committed to serving the church throughout Asia. He is an expert on the Chinese church and author of the bestselling titles The Heavenly Man, which has sold more than 500,000 in English alone, and Back to Jerusalem.

Research Institution:
AbstractOpportunities exist to develop high-power, high-energy-density, high-durability Li-ion batteries for next-generation plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Such batteries require the development of a more advanced material to replace the traditional Co2O3-based material used in the positive electrode. This project will develop a novel class of LiCoPO4-based nanomaterials for the high-voltage cathode of Li-ion batteries for applications in PHEV. The new cathodes will demonstrate substantially enhanced energy density, reduced energy cost, and improved stability and cycle life, compared with conventionally used cathode materials. Phase I will identify the underlying technical issues that govern the fabrication and performance of this novel nanomaterial. Then the new material will be used to build and characterize a high power, high-energy-density Li-ion battery. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee: This technology should be of particular importance for future PHEV applications that require better power sources and energy storage to provide better mileage (less car weight), better storage space (smaller battery packs), and increased performance (better power characteristics).

I use centOS 5.7 and I need an account I have on the server to be able to reboot the server.
How do I do this? Should I maybe be worried about security issues with this?
The reason I need it...I want to reboot the server every 6 or 12 hours...haven't yet decided. But I don't want to make a cronjob on root because I want some commands to be run before the reboot and I want the reboot to happen exactly after the commands have been ran...
basically a countdown till the server goes down for a game server.

If you said yes to any of these things then the B Movie Factory family would love to have you. The movies are definitely B movies but the fun is making the movie. Our motto is "If you are not having fun, don't do it". Oh ya, we do have fun. A little to much some times. As you can see from our videos.
Again, The Vancouver B Movie Factory is now a TV show. That's right, The films we make will be documented and aired on TV. It's on Shaw TV and it will be seen by millions. Our first episode will be in June. There will be some special guests inspiring us through out the series.
There is a lot of hard costs that go into organizing this group. The $ that is asked for at some of the meetings is just a drop in the bucket to help keep this going. We have a hole lot of free meetings that are great but the ones that have a small fee are important and shows you are committed to make this work.

Waiheke Island Favorite Tips by kiwi Top 5 Page for this destination
Waiheke Island General: 3 reviews and 3 photos

Downtown Auckland
Favorite thing: Years ago Waiheke was considered far away and less accessible than it is now. As a result of faster and more comfortable sea ferries, this perception has changed. Now more people live on the Island, and quite a few even commute to the city for work. They are delivered by ferry right to the centre of downtown Auckland, every day. Quite a large amount of students arrive on the ferry also, to attend school on the mainland.
Waiheke road.
Favorite thing: Waiheke roads are generally quite good. Often a little skinny but not too many problems. there are one or two unsealed areas only left on the Island.
Fondest memory: Lots of Islanders walk and bike around, here you can see a walkway beside the road.
Favorite thing: Being on an island can mean a certain kind of isolation, but you don't need to be away from your friends and email for long.
KLPNZ.net Caf�, c/- Rockgas Waiheke, 35/37 Tahi Rd, Ostend, Waiheke Island have a wonderful little internet area. tel: 09 - 372 3606.
The people here were so kind and even gave me a free ground coffee for free! No I can't say everyone will receive this, but it shows how welcoming they were when I was there. $5 (New Zealand dollars) per hour was reasonable too!
Fondest memory: It was such an unusual location. Amongst the industrial area, and in the Rockgas building, but there it was and I found my connection!

text: 000 FXUS64 KLUB 252325 AFDLUB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lubbock TX 625 PM CDT MON JUL 25 2016 .AVIATION... TS dotting the forecast area early this evening, but coverage is decreasing as sun is getting lower and as cooler outlow air increases in coverage. A TS at or near any of the terminals in the first hour or two not out of the question, although appears best chance at KLBB. Redevelopment of SH/TS possible overnight with elevated instability possibly being released. Will keep mention out for now but worth a mention in this space at this time. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 257 PM CDT MON JUL 25 2016/ SHORT TERM... The upper level high pressure dome which has largely suppressed most sensible weather (other than the heat) has moved far enough west to enable some changes for us in West Texas. Model guidance has struggled with the prospects of thunderstorm development this afternoon but combining observational inference with some raw data certain points toward an atmosphere which is much more likely to convect. And, this is what has begun to happen early this afternoon. Sufficient moisture at H7 and associated instability above should lead to scattered storms late this afternoon and evening. The real question is just how far south things will make it. As has been the case with the past few days, any sustaining MCS will be largely motivated by Corfidi vector motions dependent on cold pool processes. This should drive storms slowly southward. Several models hinted at convective initiation across the western Texas Panhandle but did poorly with what is appearing to be going on across much of our area. Assuming the stronger signal in the Panhandle is correct, that system should move into the South Plains by this evening into the overnight hours and have raised pops there accordingly. Elsewhere, it`s a waiting game to see just how well storms can become established in an otherwise weakly sheared and driven environment. At the end of the day, just about everywhere has a shot at seeing some storm development though coverage will most certainly not be ubiquitous. LONG TERM... The western extension of the mid-level ridge remains across the desert southwest through the week as a deepening trough slowly displaces the Bermuda High along the eastern seaboard. This will maintain north to northeasterly flow aloft across west Texas with sufficient lower and mid level moisture to produce mainly evening and nighttime thunderstorm chances through at least Thursday. Medium range models then dry out the atmosphere as the ridge expands eastward as a shortwave trough digs into the northwest U.S. coast over the coming weekend. Kept relatively low POPs through early Wednesday before raising them into chance category Wednesday evening into Thursday. Uncertainty still exists whether many storms will initiate Wed afternoon locally along pre- existing surface boundaries with models forecast soundings still suggesting a modest mid level subsidence inversion. Expect storms to increase in coverage late in the evening and overnight as stronger mid level flow helps convection grow upscale within theta-e axis shifting south out of the Panhandle. Broad storm coverage still possible into Thursday with continued weak surface instability and shortwaves rotating around the high center over the desert southwest. Temperatures also look to favorably respond to repositioned ridge with daytime highs closer to average for this time of year. Don`t expect that to last though as heights increase again over the weekend and area comes under the influence of lee side surface trough and threat of downslope winds and lower humidity. && .LUB Watches/Warnings/Advisories... None. && $$ 07

Report: Vt trooper's use of deadly force justifiedMay 22,2013The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — An investigation has concluded that a Vermont state trooper was justified in the use of deadly force when he shot a man in a Danville school bus last year.
William Mahoney of St. Johnsbury was shot by the trooper on Sept. 18 after he allegedly stole a vehicle and then hid in the bus and broadcast threats on a school radio.
Mahoney was shot by Sgt. Brian May after what police said were threatening moves toward May — he appeared to be drawing a weapon from a holster, despite repeated commands to stop.
State Attorney General William Sorrell and Caledonia County State's Attorney Lisa Warren released a report Wednesday concluding May was legally justified in firing his gun at Mahoney.
Mahoney is facing prosecution by the Caledonia County attorney's office.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Jail for West Rutland robberNovember 29,2012A St. Albans man convicted of robbing a pharmacy in West Rutland was sentenced to 40 months behind bars this week.
Christopher J. McCarthy, 43, pleaded guilty earlier this year to a federal charge of obstructing commerce by robbery.
On Monday, Judge Christina Reiss sentenced McCarthy to more than three years in jail followed by three years of supervised release. He must also pay $405 in restitution to Rite Aid.
McCarthy was arrested on Feb. 11 hours after he approached a clerk at the pharmacy and handed her a note that demanded prescription painkiller drugs and the promise that if the demands were met no one will get hurt.
In an interview with police, McCarthy said he was addicted to the drugs and robbed the pharmacy out of desperation.
McCarthy was originally charged in a Vermont court, but the state dismissed its charge against him in April to allow the federal charge to be brought.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Travis is a character of the day and doppelgänger of Ash, at least according to Luana. He is also similar to Ash in that he started his journey with a Pikachu. Little else is known about Travis, as he only appeared in a flashback and received no speaking lines.
This listing is of Travis' known Pokémon:
| Travis's Pikachu was with him when he began his journey to become a Pokémon Master. Just like Ash, Travis's Pikachu is his starter Pokémon. Little is known about Pikachu since it only appeared in a flashback and did not speak.

When âX-Men Foreverâ was announced, there was part of me that was intrigued. As someone who started reading the X-books in the early 90s, a continuation of Claremontâs run, starting from that point, had a lot of nostalgic appeal. What weâve ended up with isnât really what was promised -- but itâs fair to say, itâs still pretty entertaining.
The central conceit of âX-Men Foreverâ was quite rapidly ditched, and Claremont has concentrated on spinning new stories instead of continuing old ones. Issue #5 brings the first storyline to a rather abrupt end as the mutant race is given a dramatic new development that, all hyperbole aside, alters the X-Menâs central concept on a fundamental level. Itâs a sign that Claremont still has plenty of ideas worth exploring and, it seems, that in âX-Men Foreverâ Marvel has finally found an appropriate venue for them.
Rarely for a Claremont book, this works rather well on a technical level. While his titles have often felt over-written and dated, here he manages to turn that into an advantage. Thereâs an appropriately old-school feel to the pacing and exposition, and something pleasantly familiar about the way sub-plots weave in and out of the book after becoming a virtual lost art in todayâs long-term, trade-focussed storylines. It took a while to get going, but as of this issue, we can emphatically say that âX-Men Foreverâ is working, against the odds.
As ever, Tom Grummettâs artwork is a large part of that. Heâs no Jim Lee, but heâs a strong storyteller in his own right, and his costumes designs are very appropriate for the era -- Jeanâs new Phoenix-inspired look in particular -- and from the cover, it appears the rest of the cast will be getting an overhaul shortly as well.
It probably depends on how much of an X-Men nostalgist you are, but âX-Men Foreverâ is somehow managing to pull its weight on a level beyond being the Obligatory Chris Claremont Book. If you havenât checked it out already, itâs certainly worth a look.

I have WP e-commerce installed on my blog and for some reason the notification e-mails to me and the Track and Trace e-mails I send to the costumer through WordPress only send sporadically. I receive mayby 1/3 of the notifications and when I send T'n'T e-mail I can usually send 5-10. Then it just tells me: "E-mail could not be sent. Plese try again later."
As far as I understand it just piggybacks on WordPress' own mailsystem.

This task in not only daunting, its impossible means of evaluating teachers who
live here in Utah and comparing them with teachers and schools in China. Free
education has no absolutes except in socialist school system limiting freedom of
speech and Freedom of thought.
Teachers bound by the system is creating teachers who have lost their pride of being an educator and drop out of school with students like flies leaving a dead empty carcass.
Because our system of education is impossible to rate or measure has been its strength and success of creating America. Limiting education to measurable standards to count the money is disastrous.
Knowledge changes too fast for government and technology to maintain a standard and only teachers have the ability to adapt to these changes and keep education and students updated on a daily basis. This is the secret to the success of our education system.
We train teachers and certify teachers with years of education, then we doubt them and their years experience and personal involvement at the core of a students soul? There is no failure in education, failure is in layers of doubting the ability of teachers to adapt and rate their students.
