Police in charge of security; schools want to get back to teaching
read more recent story comments Reader comments| Liberty Saturday, April 2, 2011: 4:15 pm More from Liberty  | The problem isn't intelligence or skills but just the lack self confidence of those who were schooled by a union and government designed to make you dependent on both for an income and not having the self confidence to be free thinkers and do things for themselves. You don't need to be a teacher to home school because home schooling isn't about teaching, it's about learning. To completely different different things. Most teachers have a hard time understanding that and so remains confused and perpetuates their union propaganda and the force feeding of soon to be forgotten data down the unwilling minds of our children. Ever here a teacher say they sometimes feel they are wasting their time ? -that's why- because the force feeding system they teach is basically doing just that and the scores prove it. The ones who understand this usually will quit and home-school their children. Only the most arrogant of teachers will claim they have some special knowledge and that someone else can't open up a book or curriculum material and understand. A union-government teacher didn't go to school to be experts on the subject they will end-up teaching. Most remember very little and a good percentage ends up teaching subjects out side of there original majors. A union-government teacher earns the degree in how to teach the union-government system not the subject. It's not about academics, which explains the failed performance of the union-government schools vs other forms of education. So since the last thing you would do in home schooling is to teach that system style and in fact you want to teach exactly the opposite , a teaching degree provides nothing and explains why the data shows no measurable different from a highly degreed vs a no degreed parents child's achievement. What the degree does do is it can provides the emotion of confidence just to get one to start. After a parent starts they usually go through the mental adjustment period of trying to forget everything they remember about the union-government failure. Going to a home-school convention looking around , asking questions and listening to some speaking events will give you more of that emotion of confidence than years and a $100 thousand dollars of debt to the university could ever do..... OOP's did I mention money ? nah...... money has no power to trump principles in society.....no way. Education industry ? what's that ? You're nuts.... you're just making things up. Are you going to expect me to think their are people who would singularly promote a poorly performing system on everyone's children because of money ?.... What motive could they possible have to design a system to the self confidence from a student to ever be able to teach their own ?.....That's nut.....you must be some kind of conspiracy nut....seen any flying saucers lately?...right........ So what if the colleges make $100,000.00 per student.( $58 Billion nationwide annually)...plus a commission from credit card companies to distribute credit cards, but turns out the lowest level of education.........so what if the teachers union will take $30,000.00 ( $84 Billion nationwide) out of a teachers check over their career and still leaves the wanting in retirement ?......so what if all the others profits $ 1.13 Trillion off of the system that doesn't mean anyone could have any other motive.......right ?........ No one would risk a child's life or deceive parents for just $1.5 Trillion dollars......stop making things up. So.....you say "if homeschooling provides such a higher rate of character and academic excellence without the ~ $1.5 trillion dollars of the BIG education industry profits taken from parents then why wouldn't all those principled people and leaders do the right thing and teach and promote Homeschooling ?............you just are being clinical about thing you nut........so what if U.S. Department of Education says that between 6 percent and 10 percent of public school children across the country have been sexually abused or harassed by school employees and teachers........ my child won't be the one in ten so stop the spreading of this unpublicized information..........no I don't feel funny when teachers call my child a lair............you just must be a very angry person trying to make all of us happy parents upset...........you are just a conspiracy nut. Besides my elected representatives who get over $50 Million per year from big education lobby will make sure my child's interest is number one.........just mind your own business ...there isn't any reason for me to change anything. I love my child and would never think for a second not to trust their lives to the union-government education complex. "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?"

| 976 Sunday, April 3, 2011: 11:12 am More from 976 | I'm not saying the schools should incesssantly dwell on the issue, but I also don't think it's appropriate to just jump right back into teaching & ignore the issue. I hope that's not what is planned. |
| ConfusedAgain Sunday, April 3, 2011: 10:04 pm More from ConfusedAgain | Are they using the officers on the Martinsville Police and Sheriff's Office that have been trained for this type incidents? I'm not sure I just see the names of political appointed or elected personnel. That doesn't always mean the most trained.... Well maybe with the media. |
| DANNY NEWMAN Sunday, April 3, 2011: 10:49 pm More from DANNY NEWMAN | Confused,, looks like ya have had past issues with law enforcement,, and/or politcians,, Intstead of critizing abd griping on here,, Why not step up and make solutions!! DECKARD FOR MAYOR!!! |
| Auntie Monday, April 4, 2011: 12:01 am More from Auntie | I'd still like to know why I find out more info from the newspaper than what the school will tell me. Paper said parents would get a call in regards to the note on the wall and safety. We did get a call, but it said nothing about the new threat of a shooting on 4-4-11, just said that police and grief counselors would be at the schools. I want to know if they found the punk that wrote the note, is it a real threat or what? I am not sending my kids to school Monday. |
| ConfusedAgain Monday, April 4, 2011: 12:13 pm More from ConfusedAgain | Mr. Newman instead of being a follower why don't you try and think for yourself. In 3 days when the police are all gone there will more than likely still not be a plan. It is not law enforcement who is at fault here. I know it is Martinsville, but they need plans in place and less knee jerk reaction to problems. |
| A Hoosier Monday, April 4, 2011: 8:51 pm More from A Hoosier | I hope none of these children have a temper tantrum. Tasers for everyone. |
| Arse Monday, April 4, 2011: 10:04 pm More from Arse | A Hoosier, You're sorrowful attempts at sarcastic humor are pathetic. Especially considering the weight of the topic you chose as your vehicle of convenience. You're normally sharper than this evening's postings. Has someone hacked your account? If so, I'd suggest you contact the R-T...if not, I suggest you call it a night and try again tomorrow. |
| A Hoosier Monday, April 4, 2011: 10:35 pm More from A Hoosier | Local police have demonstrated their ability to handle problems with the youth. I, personally, would not be too quick to think appropriate responses would occur. Let me also humor myself by saying that any school that requires police patrol does not need my child in attendance. |
| Arse Monday, April 4, 2011: 11:08 pm More from Arse | And yet, I fear you'd be the loudest old hen clucking if the school didn't take that step. Somehow, without knowing you personally, I'm convinced being the consummate insatiable is your lot in life. That's the thing about horrific occurances, it gives the world's habitual complainers something to gnaw. |
| A Hoosier Monday, April 4, 2011: 11:27 pm More from A Hoosier | Arse, I will type slow so you can follow this. I believe you are a recent Martinsville high school graduate. You are a prime example of the problem affiliated with this community. You attack. You leave topic to insult. See the problem. You set a less than poor example for the youth. Your parents must be proud. And let's not forget how many of your post have been removed due to your foul laungage and bad manners. Your parents must be proud. Your chosen name speaks volumes about your behavior. |
| Arse Tuesday, April 5, 2011: 7:34 am More from Arse | A.H., You are so correct, I attack...stupidity. If someone's comments are stupid, I confront them. Your's was stupid, so I confronted you. Remember, stupid is the refusal to accept facts. Ignorance is the absence of facts. Stop being stupid. Instead of anonymously attacking the school & police officials, how about contacting them with your resolution for the problem. From what I've seen of your comments, you can only tout education as the answer to everything. Is that the answer here? Do educated people not shoot other people? I'm curios how some great thingers, and you, might handle the situation. As far as the actual police tasing, The city administration dealt with the officers involved. If you agree with their decision is immaterial. If my attacking your comments offends you, stop making stupid ones. (BTW, you'll notice I used the word "stupid" several times in my post. That's because what you posted fell into that catagory. Just so you know.) |
