Here is my proposal from last November. It seems as though, shockingly enough, they weren't really listening were they???
I would like it known from the outset that I am writing from a personal professional level regarding the current state of the Center-Based High School. I cannot assume that I speak for anyone else. I understand that (this) is both a business and an educational facility and would like to present a tidy, quiet, respectful area allowing for the program to be more easily sold to prospective parents and/or investors, however I feel we are missing an integral part of the special education student body.
All of the students in the high school, and I have had dealings with each and every student since the beginning of this year, are decent kids. In my opinion, this has been the best group of kids I have EVER had the pleasure of helping. The decision has been made to remove these children, and I do not want to make any waves about that. However, I would like to try to show people what can be done with these particular students that have been “removed” from the center-based program. (Regardless of our perspective, each student feels as though he/she has been “kicked out.”)
I have worked with kids since I was just a kid myself. In fact, I was part of a tutoring program with 1st graders when I was in 6th grade. I was also an unidentified, by school processes, Emotionally Disturbed child from about eleven onward. I can hope that the previous gives you an understanding as to why I feel I can make some things work that others cannot. I not only understand these students, I WAS one of them. I grew up in a single parent household on public assistance. I share a similar experience as well as having the educational background for 31 years. (I was also more or less a parent from about the age of 12 after Mom had to work). I have two adult sons who have gone through the teenage years and one 19 year-old godson who is actually from this very area, Glenville. Clearly, my qualifications are evident.
Being a matriculated educator and having been in the field since 1988, I have more educational experience than anyone else in the high school and most of the school as a whole. Special Education is not only my forte, but my passion as a born advocate for the, “less fortunate.” Let us sit down and talk so we can come up with something that will serve the, “bad kids,” as well as the supposed good ones. After all, we know that once the bad kids are gone, one or more of the good kids has to become the bad kid(s).
I have a general idea as to what is needed but require space, a budget, at least two other teachers to start, and supplies. I figure we would probably start with about 15 students, as that is the approximate number moved from the center-based program, which should be the cap for the time being. I would need support staff, a “quiet room,” the ability to be within the area most of the time, a schedule that is set but flexible, and a certain amount of autonomy to create and update the program as is needed.

NEXT>>>>>>>
I told you all about the asinine riot on Thursday last, but did not say anything, I don't think, about the killing of a 15 year old girl who used to be one of ours and has many siblings that still go here. When asked, by a former student, if there was something that was to be done to memorialize this student whom had been killed over the weekend, in fact just one day after the riot, the owner of this company, in one of her usual, "What? The kids? Who the fuck are they and why should it matter to me," mannerisms, told that requesting woman, "NO! She isn't one of ours anymore."
The unfeeling and absolute self-serving nature of this incredible BITCH is incomprehensible to me.
Next this is we have been smelling the adhesive needed to put down tiles in the 1st floor west area of the school for the past three days. I have read the labels which call for "proper ventilation." Well, guess what, NOTHING was open. This is making me feel as though it is time to pass out. I do not want myself nor the kids to have to deal with this shit.
COME ON, NOW soon there will be no one left that knows how to deal with my kids. Therefore they will no longer have an advocate. BUT, I must get the hell out of here.
OH, by the way, I got an email,... you know what, I think I might just start posting them here to see what you all think about them. Wait a minute, let me try this.
John,
Y requested for you to know exactly where you are on your paperwork to ODE and your masters work. We need this information by this Friday. If we don't have that answer we will assume you are not conforming to the VSH standards for a teacher status and cannot have you employed here. I would really hate to see that happen. Please communicate with us so we know all is in order.
There it is!!!! Now mind you, if you look back you will know, I have been dealing with the Y person for some time now regarding pay, etc. AND you might know I am one of only about six people within the high and middle schools actually having a license. Plus, the Y woman only asked last week while I had to wait for her more than three months to get a decent answer. Hmmmm?? Is it about what is good for the kids???? Fuck no!!! It is about what is good for the owner and her cadre of "community members."
I am going to make the attempt to paste all of the emails I have received, hopefully in the correct order and with my responses, here in the next weeks or so. Please keep up with me. Thanks.

The fucking riot!!
On the 18th of October, the most strange thing I have ever seen, happened while I was right in the middle of it. Our school, if you want to call it that, was the very proud owner of a damned RIOT. There had to have been somewhere near 40 kids, 90% of them ours, fighting each other for some reason or another.

the next thing
have I told you lately that i hate you....??? have i told you there's something sucky below you? is there some thing that makes no sense to anyone in the real world that makes you want to scream???? I know there should be. I want you all to be aware. The latest bunch of bullshit is that a friend of mine has recently left. Shockingly enough, it has to do with the fact that she was dealing with the money, SATAN, and was fucked with to the point of, "LATER." At one point I gave the scummy bitch the proverbial finger. She is so ensconsed in her own world that she didn't even know she was being slammed. Such is the life of a self important bitch.
Anyway, I was running the show in a unit no-where near of my ideal, as you all should have already known. I had an idea and it was bastardized to something beyond all recognition. Well, the bastardization took full force yesterday, though it was already coming last week. I am the person to whom all calls have come for the last seven weeks, but now, because those who know all and think they ARE all, have come up with a solution, which should scare anyone with some German background, that is sure to work. They have decided, in their ultimate wisdom, to change everything yet again.
Old R, no need to go any further with the name because everyone knowing alrady knows, came donw and started yelling at the kids. His purpose, supposedly, was to get everything organized. The fact was this, as has already been stated: I could have EASILY gotten thing organized had I been given the roper tools. Those tools would have included such minor things as: Staff, (It usually works much better whe you have SOMEONE to work in the rooms with the kids)Computers (we are a computer based school after all), Paper ( Who would think you would need that?), Pencils (Do I need to say it?), Chairs(I won't even try), Tables (???), etc. SO>>> he decided that putting klids, arbitrari;y in rooms would work. I had already done so but they changed the hours on us AGAIN, so I was wrong.
I was more than willing to admit they were right, because there was no other way to do anything, BUT not about everything. AGAIN, as I have stated and can unequivocally prove, I have more Special Education background and knowledge than ANYONE in the ENTIRE organization, but these fuckheads continue to "tell" me that I need to talk to. "Special Ed,"before I make certain changes. I know what needs to be done, legally. They say stupid shit such as:, "All we need is a change of placement form and everything is fine." NO!!!!!!!!!!! That is fucking wrong. If there is any chaneg of placement, there needs to, LEGALLY, be a new IEP and, of course, meeting with the parents. It does not necessarily have to be a, "Sit down, face to face," meeting, but it does have to be done and signed, again as an update. Fucking shit like this is only common sense. You don't make changes to a LEGAL document without the consent of ALL patries. VSH thinks that is not them because they do it all the time. In fact, I have been asked, on more than one occassion to "post-date" a document. I have refused and told them in no uncertain terms the reason. The "Owner, NS, told me, "you will do so or you will not get your check at the end of the year." To which I replied that I could not give her a specific time frame, as an IEP stands for INDIVIDUAL, which, by definition, does not stand for any specified length of time. She needs to be told that she does not know the ins and outs of the process just because she has gone through a couple of classes. I do not know everything and would never act as though, BUT I HAVE been writing these since the early 90s. Fuck you and your idiototic psuedo knowledge.
My understanding, as of earlier today, is that the State has released funding that they had, "put on hold," for this entity. I made the inquiry, not to the queen cunt, that why should the kid suffer, not that they have not already, just because the state was investigating the cunt. I was told, in no uncertain terms, that it was because of our Attorney General Marc Dann. That, to me, made no sense. I thought that senor Dann was out to protect the Ohio consumer, and stiil do believe so. In fact, Governor Strickland is also about the regulation of these schools that are STEALING taxpayer money and doing things that are hidden. I heard that NS was being bitched at about having kids in a building on Monticello in Cleveland Hieghts up until 10-09-2007. I heard her say that such a thing was not true..
Guess what??? She fucking lied. Those kids were hurriedly brought to 736 Lakeside in Cleveland on 10-10-2007. They had never been ther prior to that. Also, you might want to check on the building called, MOSDOS on Taylor Road across from Severance Center in Cleveland Heights. That's fucking hers as well. I do not want to see my kids suffer, any more, but thay will continue to do so under some scum like this. Her little pet kids get things that my kids could never dream of, although they have a "cheerleader," that atempts to state what is right with her status. She needs to burn in hell, which will happen according to my belief in divine retribution.
This latest post has been a ramble, but I hope you all understand>>>> My kids need some one giving a SHIT about them. No one would negate others' needs. if they have a caring bone in the body, but the absolute differences in the manner in which each group is treated cannot be ignored. They have been in the, "Monticello Building," until today, 10-10-2007, with air conditioning, while we, the black folk, have been at the Lakeside building without even fans to help us be just a slight bit more cool, that is except for the fans that our instructors, and we only have one that is licensed, brought from home. Is there a discrepancy??? You bet your fucking ass there is.
People have been told to stay away from me. That is correct!!!! If you value your,"Life," with NECHA, then you better stay with it, BUT, if you value, "LIFE," over her, then let us move on.
The last thing I want to address is the FUCKHEAD that decided to take over my unit. (I know what some of you are saying in the, "UNIT," thing but just shut the fuck up about it, damn it.) I know that it was not his idea because he has not had a creative idea in the entire time I have known him. He just does what the, "queen cunt," tells him he should. One more time, cunt mama, and her little prego cunt, decided to change the world. It had nothing to do with the best thing for the kids (why would they give a meandering SHIT about them?). They changed the times. The parents have been annoyed about this and I have had to take the brunt.
I have done what I could to respectfully request that some student move on to another placement, meaning another school. I have had success in about seven kids. I was told that those not wanting to leave would be, "expelled." Good idea!!!!!!! The only problem with that might be that NO ONE has done ANYTHING that could have been considered an expellable offense. Yes, it's true, some kids (and I know it is difficult to call a 275 pound six foot seven person a kid.) have been quite the pain in the ass, but they do not require expulsion. FUCKIN A. It would have taken a fight with a principal in my day to be expelled. These fuckers are strangely willing to comply with directives when given an ultimatum regarding graduation or..."the streets." Truthfully, some would prefer the streets, but, although most people thinking they know the city kids would deny this, most of the, "kids," I know do not want that life. Most have seen or know of someone who has either been jailed, and I know enough of them as well, or is dead, and I only know about six of them. Come on guys ( and girls)!!! I know you need to be tough to live where ever you are, BUT can you Not tell everyone else to fuck off?? If all the decent kids ganged up on the assholes, the world would begin to change. You, my children, have the power. You can make it change. Holy shit, I feel like Michael Jackson. (No, Not in that way you freaking pervert!!!)
