Call for Help

2009-12-13T14:08:00.000-08:00

I have spent an hour with a lovely competer technician lad who fixed my routing problems and didn't charge me for it. I told him I had been a teacher, and he told me how he dropped out of college and didn't finish his degree and that he regrets not doing so.

I think that he fixed my router for free because I was a teacher. Everybody loves teachers except the ROSSAC fiends,

The next board meeting is January 12. I will drive from the beach to attend.

When I asked the Attorney General to issue a ruling on ROSSAC 's not following the HB 669 bullying law's requirement that adults, he responded that one of the elected offials had to ask for that ruling.

So I want you to help me to pressure the board to ask for a ruling from the Attorney General in which he gives an opinion of whether the bullying law covers adult staff as well as students.

I need some help on this project. My blog readers need to pitch in, lee

Bullying, bullying, bullying

Anonymous said...: You talk about bullying of teachers by administrators. Well, word on the street at all the schools is WATCH OUT if the principals at either Van Buren or Jennings get transferred to your school. Both principals are terrorizing their staffs. At one of the schools Human Resources had to swoop in and interview the teachers to get to the bottom of it. Well, the AP took the fall for the principal and she got transferred, but the principal stayed put, so the teachers who were brave enough to speak up about the bullying were stuck there with a principal they had complained about, and the principal was going to go gunning for them, so most of them transferred and got out of there. Supposedly the principals at those two schools are so bad, yet the downtown administration covers for them. Teachers who speak out get the shaft, because they end up having to live with the principal who they complained about and are marked down on their evaluations. The ROSSAC people protect the principals and could care less if they terrorize their teachers. Word on the street is: Do NOT transfer to Jennings or VanBuren and if one of those principals gets transferred to your school, run like hell, because those two principals are horrible. They are incredible micro managers and do nothing but heap criticism on your head and give you bad evaluations if you don't do as they say. Horrible, nasty human beings! Beware everyone who reads this blog! Beware of the two thugs that run Van Buren and Jennings!; 2:16 PM



Anonymous said...: Both principals are named JoAnn, the ugliest and stupid name in the history of the planet. No wonder both of them are mean as hell, since they have fugly names like spinster librarians! They probably got teased their whole lives for having such awful names. They got bullied, and so now it is their turn to bully their teachers. What horrible human beings they must be!; 2:21 PM


Anonymous said...: It's no accident they are doing this. They're trying to weed out teachers that don't 'fit the system'. It's done to further degrade the system. MaryEllen has put in place all the nasty principals and teachers possible. Now she's working on the rest. It's insidious.; 6:05 AM

TO: Ms. Elia and School Board and bullying principals cited in readers' comments above, the two JoAnns at Van Buren and Jennings

From: Lee Drury De Cesare

Subject: Tax-subsidized barbarism

The above emails suggest why the administration, board, and their allies are fighting so hard to keep the staff part of the bullying bill from getting implemented. Mr. Gonzalez falsely claimed the House Bill 669 to apply to only students at Candy Olson's urging.

Lee's comment: You will see in the HB bullying bill below that adult staff is covered as well as students. This adult part of the bill is what Candy Olson set Tom Gonzalez to deny. He is wrong, and I am going to ask the Florida Bar to censure him for twisting the law.

I think I have finally nagged a teacher who lives in South Tampa close to the Bay Shore into considering challenging Candy next election. The key to changing the way the ROSSAC Mafiosi run the schools is to replace the complicit board members, especially the ones without either inclination or courage to "clean up the schools" as they promised and will promise on the stump. I plan to lay out for the opponents of Griffin and Falliero in the next election just how bad their performances have been on the board. Griffin and Falliero have no initiative of their own: they are both Ms. Elia's androids.

The key to the bullying problem in the schools by administrators, principals, and the Professional Standards home-ec credentialed sadist Linda Kipley is this bullying bill that ROSSAC and the board are trying so hard to bifurcate so that it covers only students and not staff too as the bill clearly says is covered. This is the tool that teachers can use to stop the ROSSAC bullying policy.

Under the bullying bill as written by the legislature, teachers can file bullying charges against the principals described above. The CTA must pitch in and help teachers get a lawyer to guide the teachers who will be more energetic than the character Steve Kemp had recommended by CTA.

The lawyer for a bullied teacher needs to demand a public hearing in the board room. That's open government: the board and administration now make all decisions behind closed door.

What the administration, board, and such complicit bullies as the two JoAnns described in the emails above fear is exposure of their low tactics.

Parents don't want teachers bullied. Children don't want their teachers bullied. The public won't put up with this bullying of teachers if we can get the word out to them. I intend to debrief Griffin's and Falliero's opponents and ask them to challenge the incumbents to explain why they have ignored the bullying of teachers and why they have agreed to truncating the bullying law to omit adult staff. Both will claim they don't know about it. Either they don't do their homework, or they lie. The public doesn't like lazy liars sitting on school boards.

This bill will be a bulwark against the current open season on teachers as bullying targets. We need just one gutsy teacher who will file a bullying charge, get a lawyer with the CTA's help, and waltz the board and administration through a public airing of this ugly abuse of teachers by the ROSSAC power-hungry sadists.

I have good feelings about the successful challenge of the board and administration's not carrying out the bullying law as it is written. This problem lands in the Secretary of Education's lap. He can't ignore it. I won't let him. lee

Mions of the lIGHT:

I have responded to the Secretary of Education about the cover up of the board and administration's evading the adult part of the bullying law so that teachers can't use it against administration abuse of them. He had a staff member answer for him, the coward.

I can't get the email transferred to my blog for all to read but am workng on it.

Steve Heggarty was the amanuensis liar who wrote the pack of lies to the Secretary of Education. That twit makes over a hundred thousand dollars a year to lie for the board and administration.

To add to my woes, some Chinese guy hawking Viagra in Chinese has picked my blog to load with Chinese blog ads for curing erectile dysfunction, and all the faces on my desktop have turned green.

I will add that the Marc Hart divorce deposition reveals that Jennifer Flowers was an element in his divorce saga in its later stages but that he had filed for a divorce a year before his affair with the Pole Girl began. It is quite certain that this affair avidly pursued by La Jennifer destroyed her own marriage. So I guess that I will have to revise my usual home-wrecker label of La Jennifer to Contributing Home Wrecker. We want to stay on the right side of truth. We don't have to exaggerate. The ROSSAC Mafia's behavior is bad enough on its own to stand unadorned with its plain horror to repel all who have even a smidge of ethics. lee

Putting an Ugly Rumor to Sleep

2009-12-08T20:19:00.000-08:00

Dear Minions of the Light:

I have had a call with inside data on the rumor that April Griffin was fired for impersonating an administrator and had an affair with Marc Hart, the usual suspect in the schools' affair department. The role is better than being the official toe fetishist for K12.

It cheers me to tell you that there was no affair. Griffin did work under Hart and was in line for a permanent position, but her hiring was frowned upon by Dr. You're Your Hamilton, so Ms. Griffin resigned.

My guess is that the old goat didn't like April because she did not make eyes at him, and he knew she is friends with Angie and Patrick Manteiga of La Gaceta.

I believe this informant, who has not lied to me in the past. So let's put this rumor to sleep.

I am still knee deep in computer problems. I now struggle with Cisco techs to find out if the router I bought from the company is misprogrammed. Lordy Lord. lee

Squelching False Rumors

2009-12-03T10:16:00.000-08:00

My grandson finally fixed my computer. Now I am trying to fix the color. Everybody is green. I am trying to reset up the printer.

I just had a long and unintelligible conversation with one of those nice Bright House guys. May the darlings all go to heaven.

My husband and I have kept things lively the last few days by hollering at each other our opinions on the Tiger Woods case. To people who ask how you stay married a long time, my answer is to holler a lot. Try as well to disagree with what your old man says. Mata Hari would have had a longer career had she been smart enough to know these tips from this White Oak, Georgia, femme fatale.

Now I can't get my email on this desktop to open, so I will tell you to go to the comments below to read that somebody wrote in and said that April Griffin had worked for Marc Hart before he was fired and that she was fired for impersonating an administrator and was having husband problems.

I wonder who this person writing me is. It sounds like an insider. I think I have the attention of the ROSSAC minions.

I emailed Linda Cobbe for the confirmation of the truth of this allegation as public information. I also asked for text about the incident and said it had to be on file, that the law doesn't let the schools destroy such evidence. I will let you know what she says.

I have also heard from the Attorney General on my on my request for an opinion on the schools' failure to implement the adult part of the bullying law. I will scan it in when I can get Old Bessy Printer up and chugging and will reveal my plans regarding this issue. lee

Pray for my printer. lee

Minions of the Light:

I an still struggling with my computer problems. My grandson is sick of his granny's computer woes and is foot dragging fixing them. I have to wait him out. So will you.

We can't lace into the board and administration from my little laptop. In the first place, I can't get the printer hooked up with it, so I can't print out and dispatch my quota of mean letters. My former mayor husband says that letters have more gravitas with pols than emails.

I received a message from a reader who claims to have heard rumors that Mark Hart had an affair with April Griffin as well with the Pole Girl. I don't believe that story. I knew April somewhat before she ran for the board. In fact, I encouraged her to run and kicked in a campaign contribution to her kitty, I believe she loves her husband and two little boys and that her husband loves her, On top of this, Mark Hart is a devoted Catholic who still suffers from guilt about his affair with Motel 8 Pole Girl Falliero. I don't think he is capable of two adulteries. His Catholic soul could not bear the weight of that much sin.

Mark reads my blog; perhaps he will comment on this sad rumor.

Griffin's problem is not infidelity. It is an inherent cowardice that made her roll over to the entrenched board and administration crooks. She is scared witless of two veteran crooks on the board, Candy and Carol, who participated in savaging Mr. Erwin.

April also is bereft of the sophistication that comes with the college education that she lacks. Her having only a high school education shows in her blog posts. April does not write about the issues that affect the schools in Hillsborugh County. She's too afraid of piney-woods Valkyries Carol and Candy to risk that. She instead natters about piffles in Romper Room prose packed with grammar-punctuation errors.

We don't tar Griffin with false rumors. We work to replace her on the board with a braver, better-educated board member.

Now if somebody sends me a rumor that the Pole Girl is heading to Orlando to pick that dork Tiger Woods's bones, I will print that as gospel truth and add a footnote saying that I trust that his Scandinavian wife beats the Hillsborough school board Motel 8 adventuress Falliero with the same 7-iron that she bloodied her stupid old man with. The wife should also scratch La Jennifer's nose as she did Tiger's and should finish off the school board's Delta Dawn by yanking out a couple of handsful of that dyed faux teeny bopper hair. lee

I have now come to Tampa for Thanksgiving to my baby daughter's in Beach Park with my tower to leave it for my grandson to come and either fix it or deliver ii last rites.

In my desperation, I bought a laptop as a backup; I can't get it up and running. So my engineer son and daughter are rehearsing me on where to plug in the cables, etc. I will never remember all this.

When I get back online, I shall write Bill and Melinda Gates what do-dos they were to give the Hillsborough County school board and administration a hundred million to throw around as is their wont.

I als0 have to write to Florida Bar Ethics people to complain about Gonzalez's giving a bench interpretation on the board podium that cuts the adults out of the bullying law HB 669 because the board and administration don't want to give teachers a tool to fight Professional Standards sadism toward teachers.

Now I have to go home and see if I can figure out where to plug these cords into my laptop. I will be back as soon as my computer problem abates. lee

for the Kemp settlement letter

Mark Harmon
Hardman & Sakellarides
29605 US Highway 19 North
Suite 110
Clearwater, FL 33761-1538
11/15/2009

Mr. Harmon:

You acted teacher Steve Kemp's attorney during his agon with the Hillsborough County school board and administration over his job because of the cooked-up child-abuse report to the Sheriff's office thrown out on the day Supervisor Smiley filed it.

It appears to me that if you had been any less active in the Kemp case, sirrah, you would have been motionless.

I don't know if you are aware of or care what has happened to Mr. Kemp while you pondered your cuticles or threw spit balls into the waste basket. Let me catch you up, counselor.

The August 24 Gonzalez letter to you from the $275,000-a-year-board attorney wunderkind. makes his timing suspect. The indulgence the board shovels out to Mr. Gonzalez encourages him to be slovenly.

Since Mr. Kemp didn't deliver his invidious-treatment oration to the board until November, I judge Mr. Gonzalez's August dating suspicious. But it's typical. Nobody ever rebukes the outrages perpetrated by the administration, board, and attorney, so the gaggle has grown slipshod in its cover-ups.

One thing is sure, however: This date-challenged letter records that the board and administration succeeded in gutting Mr. Kemp and hanging him out to dry for the crows to pick out his eyes in the usual Medieval torture routine that the board and administration have devised and augmented over the years of their sadistic hegemony.

The board-administration team is guarding the glory of mishandling the pile money the state sends the board based on student headcount. Its members have done, do, and will do vile deeds to keep control of that truckload of money.

This stash of cash and its reflected luster insures that they appear important people, guardians of students' learning, and bona fide paragons of civic virtue despite their being the C students academic products of higher-education, who rushed to administrations because that's where the money is and also because they can lord it over the A and B students who head for the classrooms, low pay, and coercion from the administration-board C students, satisfying jealousies that date back to the freshman years of both.

If you had bestirred yourself to get Tom Gonzalez to compose and insert the result of your negotiations the day you sat in your Clearwater office and chatted him up, then he would not be able to produce the post mortem that this August 24 letter to you lays out.

Even now, after the horse has fled the barn, you could make yourself useful to your abused client by writing a rebuttal this highly tendentious account by Le Gonzalez and insist that it go into Kemp's file.

The problem with flaccid lawyers such as you is that it never occurs to them to say, "Hey, wait a minute, fellow."

This damning file will follow Kemp the rest of his employment life. He is a fairly young man, and having examined the entrails of several Gulf Stream birds on the Madeira Beach barrier island where I live, I predict that Kemp will not keep his job long. The ROSSAC and board ghouls crave blood. This file will dog Kemp's footsteps in applying for jobs after the Usual Suspects manage to kick him out of Hillsborough County's school system..

So as his lawyer, you need to neutralize this file by our $275,000 wunderkind school-board mouthpiece. Sit down in front of your CRT screen and cook up a rebuttal. Insist that it go in Kemp's file.

Let me know if the ROSSAC rascals give you any trouble about putting this document in Kemp's child-abuse file. I will chime in and report them to everybody up and down the state education bureaucracy and amongst the public-servant coteries. Tattletale is my specialty.

Otherwise, I think I will have to report your feckless performance to the Bar Association or go higher and ring up Mother Herdman and let her know how her son has messed up big time. Don't expect any of your case essays to go on the refrigerator after I brief Mother Herdman.

I shall post this communication on my blog and invite you to rebut. Fun will be had by all.

Very respectfully,

Another Missed Opportunity

2009-11-14T11:14:00.000-08:00

I have sent the below post to the board and administration. They need to read what the big picture is. They will never learn about it by sitting in ROSSAC plotting their next raise. The board will ignore it until elections roll around. Then they will bray from the hustings how they have fought this battle against bullying tooth and nail.

A teacher for the mother of one of the boys whom the Toecracker used to appease his fetishism called me about three months before the story broke and asked me what to do. Like a dummy, I told him to take it to the Commissioner of Education. Now I knew better than that. The Commissioner of Education, Smith, came out of 30 years in the administration bureaucracy. He just sits on his dumb ass when you hand him a problem unless you bump it up to Governor Crist. That will do no good now because Crist is fighting for survival in the primaries with a Republican upstart who is more conservative than Crist, and for Republicans now, the more conservative the better.

I should have told the teacher, give me the mother's phone number. Then I should have called the poor soul and said, "Listen, fellow mother, go with me to the next school board meeting and lay out your problem to the board. Let's put those rascals on the spot and see what they can or will do."

Life is a series of wrong moves I sometimes think.

Something is wrong with Blogspot's innards. My recent post looks like cuneiform. Be patient. Blogspot will fix it before the snow flies. Pray to God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, and all the goddesses of the old mother cults that James Frazer tells us about in The Golden Bough. lee

With the full cooperation of ADMIN, School Principles in some cases (probably MOST now that maryEllen elia has done her dirty work replacing them all) and teachers and parents and also nurses in school. They transfer the bully from school to school so that the bully can work on younger, smaller children. Then the bully transfers right back out. This would require the covert bullying of teachers and some administrators and others on staff. The teachers participate in or turn a blind eye to the bullying of children. And then you have the steve kemps throughout the system whom maryEllen attempts to frame and rid herself of. Because like ANY ETHICAL PERSON he would tell what he saw in logical order.
I will step forward at any time. I read your blog almost every day, when it's time to step forward as a witness I will. You have my word
