And when there is a line crossed, jail them. Principal Reeves did her duty in having this mother arrested – the charges are a matter for the peace officer to select. Periodic jailings and court appearances are how prole adults learn to stay in bounds. Pain is their main instructor – they don’t learn by information they learn by experiences, bad experiences..

When you make the education of prole children your business you have to expect ups and down in the management of the proles and that includes their parents. Some of them look like http://www.peopleofwalmart.com . They behave that way also. It all goes with the territory.

If education degrees were worth anything this would be taught well in Ed schools.

Then “officials” justify the attacks? Could it be that it is the by product if all of this race baiting by liberal minded american who push to fight the power?

Inspire them to fight- but they will not stop there.

I say its parental involvement, which is a subrurbian, middle class ideal gone bad!

Rid of the parental in schools crap- and those women get jobs!

As far as what you were charged with – I believe there is a code section (Ed Code?) making it a crime to berate a school teacher/employee at their school. A low grade misdemeanor. Perhaps that code section could be substituted for the criminal threats charge and a plea done over that. It is what it is.

First thing about plea bargaining is to try to substitute a lesser code section for the one the police first used and jump on a plea to that. I have seen felony robbery reduced to disturbing the peace infraction. That doesn’t happen often – but you sometimes have to find the lesser code section and make a case for why it fits the particular bad day in the city. There are 29 code books in CA and all of them have crimes in them it seems. Cops are only trained on a few books such as Vehicle Code & Penal Code. They run to the general sections in the Penal Code, it’s all they know. There may be a specific section covering the behavior in the Education Code.

And next time, don’t directly/physically challenge an authority figure at their workplace. You can get real hurt.

Peralta CCD right across the street from OUSD adopted its policy based on the following accounts:

Babies are just so darn impressionable, as evidenced by so much of what they become being so much like their parents. Of course this isn’t the kind of indelicate observation shared with parents by school board politicians or those serving at their pleasure, or by charter and public school enrollment administrators concerned with student recruitment and controversy avoidance. It’s not in their best employment interest to connect the behavioral generation dots for sensitive misbehaving parents.

In the event your “baby” gets arrested for something similar to what you got arrested for, have some compassion for your (behaviorally programmed) ‘rip off the old frock,’ a mitigating factor reportedly brought to the attention of courts during sentencing.

By the way, “the most important part of doing all those years in school” is not attending senior prom events, at least not for students and parents who understand the value and purpose of an education.

I wonder how popular your “baby” would be with his high school classmates if they identified his mama as the catalyst for the departure of their favorite principal. When the crap hits the water, or becomes modeling clay, anticipating the ripple effects can be daunting – can’t it.

If you know Ms. NoClass is going to show up at 3pm you have an officer present (may or may not be uniformed). If Ms. NoClass shows unexpectedly she gets an appointment 30 min hence which allows time for an officer to arrive. Once Ms. NoClass has shown herself to be feral she never gets an appointment with school staff without security present. In some cases, when Ms. NoClass was first noticed as being a possibly feral person her name was given to police services who did a records check and without explaining every reason, Police services recommended they be present for her appointments. Ditto for Mr. Registered Rapist Bio-Dad.

If Ms NoClass commits a violation of state law such as Criminal Threats (really easy to commit) she’s arrested and booked at the county jail. If she resists she’s tasered or whatever then hogtied and carried to a paddy wagon. It’s simple, really.

Piedmont Unified, not being a ghetto school, probably doesn’t have a police department. They can 911 to their city police around the corner who would happily provide superior service.

The only problem the schools (and staff) have here is their own unwillingness to pull the trigger on violent people. And while ghetto schools look at the problem one way, upper class schools sure see things differently – they don’t tolerate such people. And there is no pretense that feral people are normal or to be treated as normal.

While the OUSD Wellness Policy is the only place that states “Bullying in any form will not be tolerated,” it again appears to be in reference to Students.

What about all the adults (unions-and other 3rd parties, employees and community) contributing to negative school climate in essence tying the hands of people through up-down-across tactics that subject people (bound by “professionalism” ethics and laws) to be subject to repeated and severe instances of bullying and other unhealthy conduct in the Schools? (Ref: 15 year detailed ledger item booklet good for a book signing)

As just reported recently by AP, Oakland is the 5th most violent city in the United States, so it is no wonder that dumb “gang-like” bullying and other activities have entered into the School Culture here?

For a start, why don’t the powers that be (Board members of both City of Oakland and OUSD) watch the following MPEG many times to get a glimpse of making more effective policies that address all in the City and School District Employment environments not just students:

http://workplacebullying.org/press/bnet1108.html

again, the OUSD Wellness and School Climate policies need to be expanded to read “any person” and make all protected classes from any form of harassment and bullying…then, a “ManAlive” program for men, women, families, and school site professional development groups needs to be instituted immediately, if we are serious about eroding Oakland’s violence and keeping up with District policy about making consequences for such behavior, as purportedly like Ms. Corbins, behavior rather than punitive.

Thank you very much!!!

And if you think anybody is impressed by your physical threats to school staff.. we aren’t. As far as I’m concerned the student should be excluded as undesirable when their family does this sort of thing. But I’m sure the nice lady will stick with you and your kid regardless – and just keep trying to help you despite yourselves and your behavior. They do that, yhou know. Help you as much as they possibly can no matter what.

Which I wouldn’t.

Happy New Year. Hope your student made it past that test.
