Elementary public schools need a complete instructor overhaul

I came across this website video: http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4350016&affil=kgtv

This video talks about a little girls parents putting a tape recorder in their daughters backpack and recording their daughters day because she was having horrible issues at school; she's 4 and has been suspended 4 times. Turns out, the teacher is yelling at the kids and calling them all stupid. Now as some of you know, I homeschool my son. He attended Cubberley Elementary in San Diego, CA. He was 8 years old and every day at school was a different problem. I couldn't understand why my 8 year old was having so many problems. Then my son was calling himself stupid and we were fighting every day. My 8 year old was going to need depression medicine and I couldn't understand this at all. Then at a birthday party a parent walked up to me and said, "Oh, you're (my son's name) mom, I have got something to tell you." It turns out that every day the lunch lady would scream and holler at my son. His teacher informed a parent: "Be careful with your son around (son's name), he's bad news."

I pulled him out immediately after that. The school called CPS on me and the truancy board. I told CPS, and the truancy board, the truth about the school hurting my son, and they had no more reasons to contact me. The truancy board even stated that she would call the school and tell them to leave me alone.

Parents: watch out for your kids. If their behavior changed dramatically and you don't know what happened to your loving, sweet child, then send a tape recorder to school in your childs backpack!! Catch them in the act - get the word out - While there are some good teachers left, most of them are tired, old, tenured, short fused, and cannot handle children anymore and need to be taken away from them.

What do you think?

Firefighters to become the new police.

So when a firefighter comes to save your home, they can take note of what is in your home and turn you in to the Government. "A partnership between firefighters and homeland security." At what point is a line drawn? I understand the need for terrorism, but the idea of personal privacy's being compromised as a result of a fire isn't right.

Wonder how many people will deny firefighters access to help put out the fire because they don't want to risk possible future repercussions.

San Diego Wildfire

So I was lucky enough not to be included in the evacuations or the lost or damaged homes.

I want to help. I feel bad that I cannot help. I would be more than a hindrance to the many people who are able to help. Not being able to stand long amounts of time, or even sit for that matter, without extreme amounts of pain, doesn’t afford me the opportunity to volunteer.

Also, as I am on disability and funds are tight, donating money is not an option either.

So this is what I have done. I went through my home and found stuff we do not use, or did not need, and dropped it off to a shelter. In fact, as stated before, I will be an aunt in February. I have been collecting baby items for the arrival for of my nephew. I donated them to a shelter that had babies with mothers and fathers who had tired arms.

Do I feel like I’ve done enough? No. Do I feel like I have helped that one family? Yes. That’s all it takes. Helping one family.

My son went with me and he jumped out of the car and ran a teddy bear over to a baby who got a big smile on her face and hugged the bear tightly. I feel good that he was able to help.
