Humbled: That is just one . The number of schools is in the hundreds. Yet not a single media source cares to do an expose on the corruption rampant at the top levels of management.

Teachers in LAUSD get paid for a 6 hour day for 10 months in a year. Yes the are not paid for 2 months of the year. However the 10 month pay is divided into 12 months so the teachers get paid “every month”.
The teachers union is the only thing standing between complete takeover by a corrupt board backed by greedy billionaires . It’s th only thing standing between complete takeover of the district by the charter leaning board.
On a off note- charter schools have the options of cherry picking students. Public schools don’t have that option.

Recovering, I don't know! And that's the frustrating part!
The only thing that keeps these schools functioning at all is the extra Title I money that provides for some equalizing and stabilizing. It provides breakfast for students. It provides extra staff for things like alternate learning areas for students who are disturbed so they don't affect the rest of the classroom. It provides extra teachers for smaller class sizes so the teacher has more time for personal (read remedial) help for each individual student. It can provide money for things like security cameras for safety. It can provide after school programs for homework help and mentoring. It can buy only what money can buy, which is a lot, but it's not enough!
While this is true of some school districts others might not be using title 1 money’s for what it is meant for.
LAUSD has a touted surplus of 1.7 billion. No librarians, No fine arts or Art. Ranks 46th in the nations n as far as class size . Take an average of 35-40 per class. Discipline shot to hell . No suspensions no Expulsions allowed. No janitors . Classrooms in schools I know swept one a week if at all.
They now have something called Restorative Justice- borrowed and modified from the prison system - without the consequences for regular offenders. Teachers scoff at the stupid idea and it’s failure to cut the mustard.
Did I mention the board members gave themselves a 179 percent ( not sure maybe 187percent ) raise a year or so ago. And they want to turn the whole shebang into Charter.
Students with 4th and 5th grade reading skills are in high school. Teachers are compelled to give them passing grades for fear of being questioned as to why they have so many failures in the class.
These are some of the obvious problems faced by the teaching community which no one wishes to question or talk about.

What are you guys talking about! Architects and builders from all over are asking for their designs.
But the GB wants the praise to go to Jobo god so they refuse to let anyone have the blueprints!!!

They more than others are trying to survive in a cult with everything stacked against them. More than straight people. Imagine the guilt they experience. Desert god doesn’t like “men who sleep with men”. But he is their last hope of them ever receiving the “prize”.
Leave them be I say and let live!!!

ole eyebrows and rubber lips
twist and turn n then eclipse
To return and regurgitate
Spooky crap that intimidate
Sreven Lett the floppy faced sap
was a product of a genetic mishap
when a few condom chromosomes
got entangled in the mother’s womb
And along with dads genes it went
To become the procreant
And now we have a man yu see
To rule-with Christ - an ANOMALY
For every time he opens his mouth
he stretches the truth- East, West, North
But mostly South!

Here’s one that may sound familiar. A sister was doing a row of houses and had just finish d the last one and was tired. Just then she spotted another house a bit farther up . She was about to finish for the day and had no energy to walk up to that house a distance away. But something within n her urged her to and she walked tiredly up to the house and knocked. Inside was a man who was about to comit suicide as he had financial troubles and the family was sick etc.
He invited her in and took a study . Within a month he and his family were studying to be baptized and his financial situation improved and now the whole family is pioneering.

I don’t remember the exact way it went ( told about 49 years ago) but something to do with the brothers apprehending an imposter or a spy maybe, at a convention who claimed to be a witness. When asked to state Matt 24: 14 the guy was stumped. Handed over to the police.

"This Good news Of The Kingdom Will Be Preached In All The Inhabited Earth" ........
by smiddy3 in..".for a witness to all the nations and then the end will come" .matt.24:14.. the religion of jehovah`s witnesses kid themselves into thinking they are filling or have fulfilled this prophecy/scripture .. given that you take the jehovah`s witnesses and the international bible students association as one and the same religion , then they have been preaching their message primarily within lands that are predominantly christian based.....and certainly do not cover "all the inhabited earth " as their are many populous non christian nations nations that do not allow, even forbid any proselytizing in their lands.
i would estimate about one third of the current world population.. but that is not all .. given that you take the jehovah`s witnesses and the international bible students association as one and the same religion ,then they have about 140 years of preaching their beliefs to the public specifically to preach "this good news of the kingdom " as they claim to do in obedience to j.c.commands at matt.24:14.. take a survey no matter where you live on this planet earth of the people in your locality and if you asked them "what was the message jehovah`s witnesses left you and no one would be able to say "they told me about and explained to me the good news of the kingdom" and what it would mean to me.. no one would be able to say that .after 140 years of preaching and witnessing by what is now 8 million plus jehovah`s witnesses .. what a waste of time and energy and lives .. after 140 years of preaching what do the public know about jehovah`s witnesses ?.
they don`t take blood transfusions .

...for a witness to all the nations..
It bears out the word “nations”, signifies:
1. Etnicities
2. Tribes.
3. Countries
Joboland’s awaiting-with-bated-breath Jollies need to understand this about their made up religion and its made up teachings.
Out of 7 billion peoples on this planet they haven’t managed to reach even a quarter of the worlds population - if that. As mentioned in earlier posts no one has heard of them in most of China and India which makes up half the population of the world. N Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, the Emerates, to name but a few. And they keep touting the ...end is around the corner...
what is the song they sing? .”... boldly we preach and boldly we teach..... “ . If ever they was a cowardly bunch of poorly schooled idiots, who run at the first sign of a rational debate pointing out the flaws in their teachings, then Jobo’s mighty mouse brigade wins the rats soiled underwear! Be so bold oh courageous preachers of your desert god to enter the Muslim countries mentioned and try spewing your meaningless preachers bilge .
They do no work, walk like zombies distributing pamphlets which nobody wants, have the worst reputation as workers under another dubs employment, sloth and laziness marks their preaching abilities can’t bear to have truth about their religion told to them . And these are an imaginary gods chosen people! As for the preaching work- they have an excuse too! Matt10: 23!
How ironic that they live in an imaginary world full of lies, deceit, unacknowleged pedophilia and an irrational fear of the real world!!
