Etymology: Middle English pedagoge, from Latin paedagogus, from Greek paidagôgos, slave who escorted children to school, from paid- ped- + agôgos leader, from agein to lead — more at agent
Date: 14th century
: teacher, schoolmaster; especially : a dull, formal, or pedantic teacher


Wow! Holy crap! You learn something new everyday!

Anyway; Who to vote for? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...


Flamio's friends - People who call people "retarded". People who lie blatantly. People who make personal attacks instead of rational debate.

                                     or......

SchoolWatch people - People who are trying to get better education for children and who are trying to help the community also. People who post the facts and let them speak for themselves. People who have proven over and over that the current Board of Education lies blatantly [i.e.; We don't have high speed internet connection in school(then admit they do), claim that there is not enough money for sports (then admit that they had surplus), claim that their poor teacher's aren't highly paid (then proclaim "We have the richest contract in the world!"


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....tough frigging choice I tell you.

Can anyone please help me decide on who to vote for?

I found this exchange on another website. It is a conversation between a resident of East Islip and a teachers union activist. Could Flamio be in hot water with the union?

EI Resident:

As a final aside to community frustration, individuals in this group, which wields so much power and influence in this community, and whose leadership is comprised mostly of teachers,take pride and pleasure in reffering to children of special needs and their parents as "retards", and use that word to describe their actions as a way of demeaning peoples concerns. I will include two of their recent posts as documentation. I do not wish to debate this, it is not worth my time. I only point this out to demonstrate to you that things in East Islip do not work in the manner to which you describe. If you are a mother, Happy Mothers day to you and please ejoy the rest of your day.

really?


There should be no sacred cows.


Does that include special education?


Union response:

To think that either an educator and an educational unionist would ridicule special needs children rocks my conscience at the core. If such people who write or say such things are employed in a school in the capacity of a pedagogue, then there is something very, very wrong with that picture and it must be changed. If a teacher is known to engage in such egregious misconduct then they must take several important steps immediately:

They must do an honest inventory of themselves and recall the initial reasons why they went into teaching in the first place. If it was not to make the world a better place for the next generation or to improve the lives and opportunities for those who fall within their charge, then they must reconsider a career choice as soon as possible.


A good and honest union representative knows full well who the real teachers are among the rank and file and who is in it for the wrong reasons, just as administrators do. A responsible union representative will extend themselves to reach out to such members and help them realize that the profession is not compatible with demeaning terms against children and behavior that brings down the reputation of the majority of teachers who serve with plenty of good will and the very best of intentions.

Nah, it can't be! His house was only assessed for $31,400 last year. I find it hard to believe it went up. It still looks pretty dumpy from the outside.

Hey, did you see the tax bill that was used as a sample in the "Beacon of Hope"? You know whose that is! I laughed for about an hour when I saw that. No, this guy has no ties to the board.

SchoolWatch Newsletter - May 10, 2008

What’s changed? “There’s been virtually no change in anything,” Thomas Spota, Suffolk’s district attorney, said yesterday. And nothing will change until Long Island starts seeing the local education system for what is is. BIG BUSINESS. ***************************************** Long Island’s more than 170 school districts account of more than 8 percent of the region’s economy. That’s a $9.3-billion industry. And it’s bred healthy cottage industries of law firms, administrators, consultants and vendors of all kinds who rely on it for their livelihoods.Like any system, the primary goal of Long Island’s business of education is to keep itself in business. It’s like a political party that favors players who are well connected. It’s stronger than any democratic branch of government because there’s no loyal opposition, no organized system of checks and balances to keep things honest.************ ******************************* This is from one of the many stories that have run in NEWSDAY ! Please go to www.schoolwatch101.com and read all about it !

Sorry folks, seems like my husband has lost his mind. His buddy Flamio knows so much confidential information from closed BOE meetings, I think he must attend them. But of course, that is quite all right when its benefits them.
