Grimshaw and Evans blame parents for disruptive children; wants them to monitor their Facebook activity

Here is the article in question.

This is a very interesting read.  In the first page of the article, Evans and Grimshaw blame Facebook for having drama and other problems that students are posting about.  Evans failed to bring up at least one incident of anything linked to Facebook.  Both Evans and Grimshaw agree to having the students' Facebook accounts monitored by parents.  Talk about huge privacy issues.  

The second page of the article splits off into blaming the parents for the students' disruptive behavior.  Both Evans and Grimshaw blames that the problems start at home and that the parents and students would need to work with their school in order to resolve the problem.

Smooth move, Burlington Community School District.  Same goes with the 4+ students who committed suicide in the West Burlington School District.

Hoelzon talks about how students wouldn't be fighting if there is no crowd watching them.  That is crap.  Students will dish it out whether there is anyone there or not.  Someone aggravated enough would be willing to attack them whether in a crowd or not.

As for the 'bathroom moderating', get the hell out of the bathrooms, punk.  There is no reason for this person to 'investigate' an opposite sex's bathroom.  That goes beyond policy.

Burlington School District Promoting 'No Bullying' Signs

For a while, I've been noticing these signs scattered in people's yards and school grounds.

















It came to a surprise that the school district is now creating signs to the public to use to promoting anti-bullying.  But I believe that these so-called 'efforts' aren't doing enough.  I believe its more of a way to remove the bad image the Burlington Community School District or BCSD has with dealing with bullying, as well as other issues that they try to cover up.

They don't admit fault to it, but instead promote this kind of stuff so that they can fool people that they are changing for the good, even though the school suicides in the area have been going on for a long time.  In fact, shortly after the string of suicides in 1994, both the West Burlington School District or WBSD and BCSD  have claimed that they were working on taking care of the bullying issues and that they would be changing policies in order to help students with their issues.  Those changes were either insignificant or never placed.

I believe that because enrollment is decreasing down and that more people are going against these school districts.  From students who placed fliers on the cars  to students who stand up against the school. 

There was a system in place in having bullying records recorded and placed through a computer system. http://www.thehawkeye.com/story/BC-IA--Bullying-Database-1st-Ld-Writethru


The problem is that none of these schools in the Burlington School Districts were using this method for a long time.  I don't even believe that West Burlington School District uses this method either because both of these schools waste their money on selfish needs rather than helping to prevent bullying and promoting better education standards.

I don't believe that schools like BHS will change their philosophy and selfishness of taking care of the issue.  All that is important to them is the money and the manipulation of one's mind in believing into their crap.
