Comments for Texas Ed: Comments on Education from Texas http://texased.wordpress.com Comments on education and learning Sat, 19 Jul 2008 10:01:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU Comment on McKinney ISD Cheerleading Mess by Curious http://texased.wordpress.com/2006/12/09/mckinney-isd-cheerleading-mess/#comment-63705 Curious Sat, 12 Jul 2008 08:56:17 +0000 http://texased.wordpress.com/2006/12/09/mckinney-isd-cheerleading-mess/#comment-63705 I would like to know what the Superintendidn't was getting on the side? Besides, those girls ended any chance of cheering for any other school again. The college squads are much more controlled and of the 4 squades in Texas that i've talked to, they will not allow any of them to try out for thier teams. Assuming of course that any of those "girls" ever get into (if so, then stay) college. Last I heard, Slut is not a major in college.

It not just an us against them thing. In fact many of the students admitted under the top ten percent rule have high scores and would have met the requirements which is part of why they made it into the top ten percent in the first place.

]]> Comment on Art teacher lawsuit? by Kathie http://texased.wordpress.com/2006/09/26/this-is-why-we-have-lawsuits/#comment-63700 Kathie Thu, 26 Jun 2008 06:25:43 +0000 http://texased.wordpress.com/2006/09/26/this-is-why-we-have-lawsuits/#comment-63700 I've read all of this with great interest because I have a "situation" that involves the abuse of authority or what I feel is educational bullying. I am an 18 yr veteran teacher, never got a written evaluation in two years from my principal and since leaving that school (due to a move) cannot find a job because he has "nothing good to say" about me or my work. I have never in the 16 years prior to this had a negative or bad evaluation. All of my decisions have not been pleasing to all people, but neither have those of my principal. Several people erred in this whole McGee/Fisher situation. This should have never gotten this out of hand in the media. The district,out of respect for her years of dedicated service, should make an effort to place this teacher elsewhere and get on with the business of educating children.

Our boys play all sports and do not have the privilege of being on select teams. Our little league choses the 12-13 kids who have the best seasons and places them on the all-stars teams. Obviously we don't stand a chance against the San Antonio or Lubbock elite, but at least we do things the way they were intended to be done! I am just so appalled by what I've been reading.
