Texans in the afterlife

[DukeAllen]

Gabriel came to the Lord and said, "I have to talk to you. We have some Texans up here who are causing problems. They're swinging on the pearly gates, my horn is missing, barbecue sauce is all over their robes, their dogs are riding in the chariots, and they're wearing baseball caps and cowboy hats instead of their halos. They refuse to keep the stairway to Heaven clean. There are watermelon seeds, spare rib bones, and corn cobs all over the place. Some of them are walking around with just one wing."

The Lord said, "Texans are Texans, Gabriel. Heaven is Home to all my children. If you want to know about real problems, call the Devil."

The Devil answered the phone, "Hello? Damn, hold on a minute." The Devil returned to the phone, "Okay, I'm back. What can I do for you?"

Gabriel replied, "I just want to know what kind of problems you're having down there."

The Devil said, "Hold on again. I need to check on something." After about 5 minutes the Devil returned to the phone and said, "I'm back. Now what was the question?"

Gabriel said, "What kind of problems are you having down there?"

The Devil said, "Man, I don't believe this....Hold on." This time the Devil was gone 15 minutes. The Devil returned and said , "I'm sorry Gabriel, I can't talk right now. Those damn Texans have put out the fire and are trying to install air conditioning."

What the hell is going on in Texas, I hate to pick on the Lone Star State, but Damn... I just read there now making the children in Texas schools carry a card that is encoded with a GPS tracking chip so the school system knows where the kids are at 100% of the time...Parents are all pissed off but the school system doesn't care because its getting big bucks from the government for being the first in the country to try it out.......Can you say "Big Brother Is Watching"..........WW

Well seeing that most school faculty members are mostly socialist liberals, with fascist leaning commie agendas, no big surprise.
Here is a perfect example of the new left educational agenda here. My eldest son went to this high school years ago. If he were still there, I would have yanked him out of there in a heart beat. This is the beginning here of "No Child left behind" bullshit. You won't believe what you are reading



Edmonton teacher fired over his no-zero stance on grading


EDMONTON - The teacher at the centre of the no-zero grade controversy was fired Friday afternoon by Edmonton Public Schools.

Lynden Dorval received his termination notice after he attended a hearing Monday with the school district superintendent in which he argued to keep his job.

“I was still hopeful this wouldn’t occur, but I believe the superintendent had made it clear long ago that his mind was made up,” Dorval said Friday. “I tried to steel myself for this outcome but I had some hope it wouldn’t come to this.”

A teacher for 35 years, Dorval was officially suspended from his position as a physics teacher at Ross Sheppard High School on May 18. According to the registered letter he received on Friday, his termination is effective Oct. 15.

The three-page letter, from Superintendent of Schools Edgar Schmidt, says Dorval is being terminated for “repeated acts of insubordination, unprofessional conduct, and refusal to obey lawful orders” subsequent to his suspension.

The 61-year-old was suspended for contravening school policy and giving zeros to students who did not turn in assignments. Teachers at Ross Sheppard are ordered by Principal Ron Bradley to note that the work was missed, but not to give students’ zeros.

Looks like my joke was late. Sounds like we're all already in hell, and the devil is a liberal politician.

What an absolute load of shit. When the students get out in the real world, what do they think their boss is going to do if they don't do their work???

Looks like it's the same everywhere.

My wife is a teacher in Maryland about 20 miles from where we live in West Virginia. She was telling me not long ago that it's impossible for a child to fail school now.If there grades during the year aren't good enough to pass, all they have to do is a end of year "Project". Even if the project sucks and is garbage that has very little effort put into it, they still get passed because they turned in a project... How the hell can they not pass with rules like that in place...And they wonder why the US has fallen to the bottom of the pile when it comes to education..This country is SCREWED!!!.....WW

I tell you what they'll do, they will end up on our dime. I mean it's getting so bad now, that some of the young kids in hockey leagues keep no score and all get trophies because the retarded parents think it's better for kids never to lose...WTF?? Losing was a great motivator in my books, I hated it, so naturally you would work harder to try to be the winner, but that concept is now fading fast, especially in the work place.

That's exactly the criteria used here Wayne, "No child left behind" means no student will ever fail. Fu&king crazy. Don't worry, when it comes to education and screwed countries, we're right with you.

No way, it's a balmy +5º Fahrenheit here

I can't believe there are people stupid enough to come up with all this idiotic crap. Putting GPS on the kids, making it so no child can fail, making it so no child can ever get a zero, not keeping scores at sporting events so no one loses.. It has taken hundreds of years for our ancestors to figure out what works with children and what doesn't.. Our society was finally starting to get things right with the kids up to about 10 or 15 years ago..Now in the last few years they have come up with shit that makes no sense at all and can only cause kids to fail in the real world.. This sounds like someone is trying to destroy the United States from within. Destroying our kids so there's no one competent enough to run this country in the future..Setting these kids up to fail so they need financial help which would drain our countrys resources...Maybe we're being attacked from outside forces and don't even know it..This would be the perfect way to destroy a country, and its citizens not even know its happening....Do I sound paronoid???...Well I am....WW

EPISD cheating scandal: Two Bowie administrators and a counselor on paid leave - El Paso Times

School board trustees and administrators have been under pressure from the community and from the Texas Education Agency to take disciplinary action against employees who helped carry out García's cheating scheme. The scheme kicked some students out of school, kept others from enrolling and manipulated grade levels for students to keep them from taking the sophomore test that determines whether a school is meeting federal standards.

You know Friz, I would bet my last nickel this won't be the last school board to come under scrutiny. As far as I know here, school boards are almost always self policed unless some blows the whistle on them. Just goes to show, that any where there is a mixture of power and money, corruption will abound. Nothing is safe from it.
