BACK WHEN KIDS WERE COOL

Whatever happened to that promised principal sensitivity training? Who all went? Do you all respect me in the morning now?

A little while after the COOK STREET THROW-DOWN LPS was again thrust into the limelight a clothing calamity. A letter to the mayor raised a few eyebrows then STARBARD stirred the pot until comments were clarified. (Rick learned a lesson about answering the door in feety pajamas). Honestly I'm not sure what was done.

At the LSC meetings, I think the only thing concretely done was to refer all clothing related issues to CENTRAL OFFICE. The MAYOR did point out that the DRESS CODE needed update and that as it stood right now that known COMMERCIAL STREET GANG member DR. WARRY would be suspended for sporting her colors with a festive scarf. Well DR. WARRY never did time and I don't think the policy was ever updated.

Like many others, I heard about the PROPOSED SENSITIVITY THING. I just had visions of principals alone in their offices in touch with themselves. By the time the individuals reached them that they got this training for reached them, the damage has been done. Systematic problems need systematic solutions.

Let's get to the LONG and the SHORT of the matter. When a minor hubbub was raised about showing a little calf before JUNE, COMMANDANT STRANGIE was deserted by his fellow principals and left to dangle in the winds of fashion (imagine if someone would have worn white before MEMORIAL DAY).

Changes were made to the code quickly. Kids in the audience of the LSC could be seen texting, "ALL THE COOL KIDS SHOW A LITTLE LEG". Nothing was put in place to convince HERR STRANGIE to come over to the dark side. Just deal with it, MEIN FUERHER.

BUT....,

when it comes to a matter of CIVIL RIGHTS LPS seems a little slower to act.

  1. Glad you are NOT letting this one go Stanley! You are right. They ALL agreed to have sensitivity training. I guess they ALL feel they are sensitive enough to say it but not do it! NO FOLLOW THRU as usual from LPS, MAYOR, School Committee. So glad I live in another city. But I enjoy this circus and your blog to much!
