I have held my blogging long enough.  I must blog.  I read a comment yesterday about a child and

problems with teacher's and skin color of kid's friends.  I can only speak for myself.  If the color of a childs friends gets comments from a teacher then the Board Member, administration, superintendent

and any other related personnel who should be involved should become involved.  The problem is the

fear of lawsuits, fear of groups comiing and protesting, fear of media coverage creates an atmosphere where nothing is done.  Probably everyone in New Iberia can site a story over their

lifetime.  One blogger talked about who was going to pay for the counseling of one group's students

because of the sponsor.  If the sponsor is a problem, then why is the Board Member, Superintendent,

and principal not  fixing the problem?  Citizens give up too easily!!!  Keep pushing until something is done.

And who pays the teacher's counseling when principals or assistant principals cause teacher's

to need counseling???  This is another complaint the public doesn't know about!!!!!!

    " There is so much corruption in the schools nowadays. Money is the root of all evil. They put lawsuits before sanity. Either go with the flow or bow out gracefully. Try your best not to take your work home with you. What good is it to have to end up spending your hard earned money on counseling? There was a time when teachers were valued. The operative word being "was." "
