Christina, Are You Out Of Your Flipping Mind? You Are Begging For Trouble With This One!

For the most part, staffers who allegedly assaulted students have faced no criminal charges or internal discipline; some have even been promoted.

…illustrates the risk that for-profit schools, which are favored by the Trump administration and new Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, may put earnings ahead of student welfare.

“That place was like a prison,” he said.

Sean Moore’s Federal Sentencing Postponed

On Friday, I pondered why former Family Foundations Academy leader Sean Moore didn’t get his federal sentencing on March 2nd.  One of my sources gave me the rundown.  Turns out Moore’s sentencing was rescheduled for tomorrow, April 3rd.  But that has been postponed without a new date at this time.  I have to admit, I’m very curious how much time a Delaware charter school leader will get for taking money meant for kids.  I guess we will find out one of these months.  Who wants to start a pool on this?  What month do you think Moore will finally go to prison?

Wilmington Advocate CEO Hope Cries Out For Help With People Dying In Wilmington

At the Wilmington City Council meeting last night, advocate CEO Hope gave a very passionate speech about the crime and murder in Wilmington.  He begged the City Council to get out on the streets and see the dead and to do something before these kids go to prison.  Things are getting very tense up in Wilmington, and education will not solve all of the issues going on there.  We can redistrict and “close the gaps” until our eyes fall out, but that is not going to solve the problems.  I’m not going to pretend to have the answers, because I simply don’t.  But what we are doing now?  It isn’t working.  I live in Dover, and it is getting bad here too.  Not Wilmington proportions, but we are already over last year’s homicide rate down here.

I would start listening to this video at the 28:00 mark to see what happens before CEO’s speech, the speech, and after.

I think, if anything, these people need hope.  They need to know that their leaders want to make changes that will last and not just put band-aids on the problems.  Kicking the can does not work, and more children will die or go to prison if something doesn’t change.
