DAYS OF OUR WORLD - ROBIN COULD

Now the EVIL QUEEN had two ladies in waiting in the court of NESOPOTAMIA. One of them, J-WAR of the North Shore had a large presence in the institution of the administration.

With the help of the much NEEDed SPECIAL forces she was able to secure another lady-in-waiting for the SMOOSH room.

DAYS OF OUR WORLD - FRIENDLY FAIRY TELLS

Always looking for new ways to boost the reception for her deception, the EVIL QUEEN called on the RAT WITCH for counseling since she was a councilor and a counselor in some former positions.

Knowing that raising the bar too high could lead to long necks, RW rationalized that to take minds off trash taxes could also be used to finance a commercial about how good we all have it in NESOPOTAMIA since her and EQ came to town.

Maybe we can patch the potholes with cast of casts of footprints, a real walk of shame. The infomercial can be seen on the RECOVERY CHANNEL. (I admit nothing.)

DAYS OF OUR WORLD - A DIVERSITY OF IMITATION SWEETNERS

The EVIL QUEEN is known for having a sweet tooth for satisfying her passions and we all know DECEPTION is one of her most powerful. She has called on the CANDY MAN to provide her pleasure with an INNOVATION in IMITATION. He is going to head her hand-picked presidential principality.

The CANDY MAN can because he mixes facts with fiction and makes failure easier to swallow.

THATAWAY FOR HATHAWAY

Due to the unexpected closing of the HATHAWAY CHARTER SCHOOL it looks like about 50 NEW (really old) students will be looking to set a new course for courses for education at LPS. That's okay, we have plenty of room. No classroom crowding problems over here.

Camp Tiger Pride a hit with incoming LVTI students

It's great to see LVTI being utilized over the summer to keep our kids busy and our buildings utilized. CAMP EXPLORER of last year (my son participated) has morphed itself into a success here. I would imagine a lot of credit for this success should go to DR. WARRY. DR. LATHAM has publicly stressed the need to have courses other than the STEM stuff in order to give the students a reason to  come to school. Looks like some kids have found some.

DAYS OF OUR WORLD - A BAD APPLE FROM THE FAMILY TREE

A board member of the SOCIAL CLUB, WILL DODGE has a respected name in NESOPOTAMIA with one principality bearing the family name. WILL has lived up to that name by avoiding any measure that would benefit the peasants at the expense of EQ.

DAYS OF OUR WORLD - NOT JUST ANOTHER PRETTY FACE

Time to introduce a new face in the queendom of NESOPOTAMIA. How about a warm and saucy welcome to FANNY MARTINO. She is the EVIL QUEEN'S bell weather on what's happening to the papas and mamas of the much NEEDed SPECIAL forces to keep  EQ comfy. EQ knows she can ring her anytime.

FANNY knows that EQ doesn't really care about the mamasitas and papasitas so she never comes to any rallies and only shows up at her office part time. She has BIGGER plans. Rumors are that MR. FELON wants her for his own little revolt.

SUNDAY GAMES

It's SUNDAY and time to lighten things up on this blog. There is too much drama going on at LPS, I think we all need a break. Hey, let's play a game!

Let's see, we could play WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE but those DUAL DEPUTY DIVAS would fight over who would turn the letters.

So okay, let's unscramble a word. You know, you rearrange some mixed up letters to see what it is actually spelled. Okay here we go:

                                                  RETIRED

Wow that looks pretty straight forward, oh what pretell could it be?

Wait a minute, if the R runs away with the T and the bottom arm is chopped of the E we have what actually happened to the GRANTS person:

                                                   F*I*R*E*D

Now let's have a definition. FIRED = LAPEY LEAVE.

Word on the street is rather than return to the dungeon as an ITINERANT LIBRARIAN she took the option to retire. An  ITINERANT LIBRARIAN really? What the heck is one? I mean, are they like tenement farmers who go around from school to school to see if they can cultivate the books in season? She would have been more useful to LPS if she had a new recipe to cook the books.

As often happens when people get fired, info is scarce. This is everywhere, not just LPS. No one even wants to go off record for the  reasons for this termination. (Hey even if it is a retirement it is still technically a FIRING - a separation of services, ie. - they will no longer be provided).

Maybe it had something to do with missing that INNOVATION SCHOOL grant. Still though that is to big a mistake to pin on one person. The money lost was minuscule compared to the union contract waivers and the increased flexibility.

So as usual I will call on the GODS OF POETRY (I mean I was sitting next to THOR at the LSC meeting. Did you see me?) to devise my dastardly theory.

Okay, GALLO has become the GRANTS guy so one would think he is a party to all the plans. No doubt he is connected. A real DEMOCRATIC DARLING, a party favorite and who doesn't love a good party?

LAPEY'S position was broken into pieces so no one person really knows what's going down with the grant money. There seems to be a lack of control, an opportunity for deception. Everybody has their own piece of pie.

Then you create one position that requires high, specific credentials and offer a relatively low salary thereby limiting the field of people who will apply. Anyway, you hire this person and lo and behold six months down the road you realize this job is just too much to expect results at such a low salary so we give this person a boost, a performance  incentive.

Everybody wins.....

EXCEPT ......

our kids!

QUESTIONS OF FIDUCIARY FIDELITY

At last THURSDAY'S BUDGET HEARING and LSC meeting, in attendance were members of LYNN YOUTH COUNCIL as CHARLIE GALLO pointed out. (I wonder why no CITY COUNCILMEN were there?) I always feel like he acts like he can take credit for their inception. I guess it's just a base, base thing.

Well CHARLIE, you can't take credit for the conception of my daughter, ASIAH WOTRING, who was there with them. I wouldn't wish my ex-wife on you, maybe some others.

I actually tried to fix her up with DR. LATHAM but she wouldn't return my ex's calls. Haven't I ALWAYS said she was a smart lady?

DAYS OF OUR WORLD - THE WOTRINI CODE

In a proposed effort to supposedly finance the supposed, proposed MAYORAL campaign, the BELLIGERENT BARD has floated the idea of putting the KEYs to NESOPOTAMIA on EBAY.

However on further reflection he judged that it would be better judgement to refrain from disclaiming the truth lest his dreams of THE WHITE HOUSE land him in the BIG HOUSE.

A NEW PRINCI(PAL), A FRIEND OF A DIFFERENT FLAVOR

At the LSC meeting I was excited to learn the new principal hired for the WASHINGTON SCHOOL is a BLACK MAN, a double dose of diversity. I began writing the PRAISE SONGS for DR. LATHAM in my head.

THEN HE OPENED HIS MOUTH......

and I was reminded ignorance comes in many colors Now I have a well documented history of making mistakes and after all us poets, well we like to be fuzzy when it comes to facts.

But the new princiPAL,  Mr. John Licorish, of the INNOVATION (in name only) STEM SCHOOL is supposed to be a man of MATH and SCIENCE. Those people are supposed to be concerned with little things like details and QUANTIFIABLE truths.

During his introductory  remarks, he proclaimed that after an exhaustive Internet search, he thoght LPS was about to open the FIRST ELEMENTARY INNOVATION SCHOOL.

Really now? That would be quite an accomplishment if it were TRUE!

After the meeting I approached him and introduced myself interrrupting his tet e tete with DR. MENINO. I informed him I thought he was wrong and gave my example as proof, you know the REVERE SCHOOL that was the first INNOVATION SCHOOL in the state, who's principazl used to be the vice-principal at FORD.

Mr. LICORISH assured me he thought he was right and DR. MENINO either played dumb or actually was.

Anyway after about two minutes on the Internet yesterday I found this:

BUSTED! I always liked the RED licorice better anyway.

IN RESPONSE TO RICK

I know ours is a strange relationship, but I do have a history of interracial ones. In fact my children are mixed. My son is a born-again Republican thanks to my Dad.

Admittedly, I am at times cryptic. My own life is very hard for me to decipher. "Carrying the mail", I only meant you were advancing the points about the budget had been screaming about. It's not so much the actual numbers but how we arrived at those numbers. We NEVER discussed our at the time correlative position.

However, you succumbed to the CATHE KOOL-AID whenever you swallowed. The promise of
amendments and eventual disclosure was just a momentary panacea to insure passage and avoid embarrassment.

Can you tell me if the concerns you had before the LUCKY LATHAM MICKEY were answered really or addressed publicly?.

SURE......

the amendments were added but WHO SAW THEM? I am sure you were provided with them but mine and most other citizens must have got lost in that MAIL I thought you were carrying.

SORRY RICK, YOU JUST GOT SERVED!

CLEO'S HEARS WHAT'S HEARD AT THE HEARING

An Education: FY13 Budget Public Hearing Recap

uneducacion.blogspot.com

I am so glad CLEO does what she does that way I am free to expand on what actually happened without doing all that typing.

I won't go over what I said because, well I kind of do that a lot. What I do want to talk about is what PARENT  - CHARLIE LOPEZ said. He talked about the deplorable, UNSAFE conditions at COBBETT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

The normal, RESPONSIBLE answer to these allegations would have been to apologize, promise to investigate and then rectify any problems thereby insuring the safety of ALL 700 STUDENTS. Stories of kids being forced to wear their coats in class to keep warm. (Funny at FORD in the winter on the third floor they have to keep their windows open while the snow flies).

SO WHAT IS THE RESPONSE HE GOT....?

Pardon me if I interpret here, he did speak in SPANISH. 

TRANSLATION --

If you keep quiet we will look to move YOUR kid somewhere else. Our PARENT INFORMATION guy DAVE HEGEN just happens to be in the audience and he will see about geting someone to drive the BUS for your kid.

LPS'S PAYOFF'S COME IN EVERY CURRENCY.

STARBARD GIVEN SLEEPING SUPPLEMENT BY SOME SCHOOL COMMITTEE MEMBERS

After carrying the mail for me (Didn't he know LPS pays someone to deliver intra-agency mail?) about the bogus budget, Rick went ahead and voted for the sham budget (well it was no longer exactly sham).

You see the budget as put out there to the public was amended there in public at STARBARD'S request. So I should be happy, no.

NO!!!!!!!!

All passing this revised budget did was to barely scold some other members of the LSC for trying to pull a fast one on the public. They weren't even told NOT TO DO IT AGAIN.

On top of that we were never given the actual figures regarding the raise and where it came from. We were told the money came from a salary slush fund with the unspoken implication there is more where that came from.

So at the risk of incurring LOIS'S wrath, I am going to publicly chastise RICK for falling for this SONG AND DANCE. The vote was 6-1, so he was NOT the only one. Only DONNA COPPOLA stood for transPARENTcy.

In my closing remarks at the PUBLIC HEARING I wished everyone who voted for this budget a good night's sleep because our nightmare continues.

BLAST BREAKS OUT AT PUBLIC HEARING

Business came to a standstill at the LSC meeting because the committee told the public to "Go pound sand".

The sound from the repeating rhythm made it impossible to hear what we are actually paying privileged people.

Keeping NESOPOTAMIA free of undesirable that aren't desirable ones that come with TITLE I money to be squandered at both the EVIL QUEEN'S leisure and pleasure, COMMADORE COMMANDO patrols the BARING STRAIGHT to infiltrating the queendom over the surface anyway (we wouldn't want the queen to be caught with her pants down).

However those LATINOS are crafty devils, instead of traveling on the surface of the sea they go UNDER WHERE TIO TAMALIE first penetrated EQ'S royal highness and they've been together ever since.
