Get Schooled – AJC- Censors posts about APS NORTHSIDE SCHOOL

APS cheating scandal: Limiting futures and careers » Comment Page 2 | Get SchooledMaureen said…”When the APS cheating report was released, it was clear that education careers would be ended, futures would be changed. We are seeing that now. I hope that educators who were not involved in any way — and that is the vast majority of APS teachers — are not tainted and curtailed in any job searches. I have talked to APS teachers who are worried about such fallout”—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————NOT ALL of those involved in cheating have been exposed. Many are still with APS.Those of us with FIRST HAND EXPERIENCES of the LOW DOWN DIRTY DETAILS of the underhanded antics of the above the law attitudes of KATHY AUGUSTINE and BEVERLY HALL along with the LEADERSHIP OF ATLANTA’S TOP SCHOOL Principal Reich…We’ve watched them manipulate the systems to their own advantage. We’ve blogged on this site for the last 10 years…AND THE AJC NEEDS A DATA BASE? PLEASE.We are not all fools. The AJC has hand picked what they will and will not print about cheating and misuse of authority in APS.The internal emails documenting the conversations from the principal at Warren T JACKSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL to the comptroller’s office MARGARET COLEMAN , MILLICENT FEW, KATHY AUGUSTINE and Beverly HALL. The documents attempt to cover-up the bonus checks PRINCIPAL REICH gave select teachers which was actually an illegal increase in pay. The documents were obtained in open records. The communication and the video taped testimony covering up and recreating falsified documentation during an official investigation do not lie.Those attempting to continue and protect the inside connected folk should be ashamed of this carnival show to down play the corruption.…of which some have no fear of the damage to their education careers…because they KNOW the CONNECTED CORRUPT FOLK.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbf-BeZsqas

9/11 = Sept. 11, 2001 Looking Back…

I was teaching 1st grade at an Atlanta Public School under corrupt leadership that used the 9/11 attack to create a climate of fear and intimidation at the principal’s falsified prize winning school. This leader shamefully used the event of the day to concoct and devise a witch hunt for teachers reporting wrongdoing labeling them as terrorists at the school for filing a grievance in early September 2001. To date this leader remains in a position of authority and considered the TOP LEADER in Atlanta Public Schools.I watched an unethical leader prepare to accept a NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE AWARD based on falsified documentation at an OPEN HOUSE PTA MEETING SCHEDULED on Sept. 12, 2001. The OPEN HOUSE MEETING was held from 7pm -9pm regardless the notices given to the public to refrain from gathering at public places (SHOPPING MALLS,etc) This principal laughed at parents that picked up their children early on Sept. 11. I watched her berate parents stating “why are you picking up your child…?” It was apparent she was more concerned about announcing her falsified AWARD at the OPEN HOUSE PTA than the concerns for families at the school. This leader used the situation to help her concoct a fearful environment for her staff while an investigation of the CHEATING AND FALSIFICATION of reported wrongdoing was undergoing a mock investigation by the ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS INTERNAL OFFICE OF RESOLUTION. Sept. 11 2001 was the beginning of MANY ATTEMPTS TO HIDE the issues of CHEATING IN ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq2yLhdYFDwhttp://www.toppublicschoolcorruptionatlanta.com/

Nobody wants to become a teacher "BY CHOICE"

From A School Principal’s speech at a graduation.

He said “Doctor wants his child to become a doctor………
Engineer wants his child to become engineer……
Businessman wants his ward to become CEO…..
BUT a teacher also wants his child to become one of them..!!!!
Nobody wants to become a teacher “BY CHOICE” ….Very sad but that’s the truth…..!!!

The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life.
One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued,
“What’s a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?”

To stress his point he said to another guest;
“You’re a teacher, Bonnie. Be honest. What do you make?”

Teacher Bonnie, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied,
“You want to know what I make?
(She paused for a second, then began…)

“Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.

I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor winner.

I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can’t
make them sit for 5 min. without an I Pod, Game Cube or movie rental.

You want to know what I make?
(She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table)

I make kids wonder.

I make them question.

I make them apologize and mean it.

I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.

I teach them how to write and then I make them write.
Keyboarding isn’t everything.

I make them read, read, read.

I make them show all their work in math.
They use their God given brain, not the man-made calculator.

I make my students from other countries learn everything they need
to know about English while preserving their unique cultural identity.

I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.

Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they
were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life

( Bonnie paused one last time and then continued.)

Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn’t everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant. You want to know what I make?

I MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ALL YOUR LIVES, EDUCATING KIDS AND PREPARING THEM TO BECOME CEO’s , AND DOCTORS AND ENGINEERS……….

What do you make Mr. CEO?

Georgia Professional Standards Commission SWEEPING "IT" under the NASTY APS CARPET


Join the Fulton County Taxpayers Foundation Saturday, September 10th from 10am-12pm, downtown at the Loudermilk Center, with Georgia’s Leading Educators. Atlanta Public Schools is facing the greatest challenge in its history. Atlanta’s children deserve a quality education. Parents want answers! Come listen to our distinguished panel of Leading Educators share their ideas and answer your questions on the future of APS. This event is free to the public! Register TODAY by calling 404-923-9995

YOU SAY THE top education leaders will be present? From Atlanta Public Schools? The Top APS – School WARREN T. JACKSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL – has remained under corrupt leadership. Will this principal be asked to speak about her leadership at the TOP?

Will the officials from the PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS COMMISSION explain how they run a secret underground system of “WHO KNOWS WHO” with falsified mock investigations of those reported to the agency and their involvement in wrong doing.

Will Warren Fortson explain how they (THE GA-PSC ) takes care of “it” behind closed doors?

Will these LEADING EDUCATORS explain the CODE OF ETHICS for educators does not apply to everyone. It depends on who you are…and how close to the Buckhead line …where you live…determines your “slap on the wrist” for wrong doing.

Will the GA -PSC officials explain how the hearings are not privy to OPEN RECORDS LAWS so the issues of how the GA-PSC CONCLUDES and DETERMINATIONS to expunge ARE a GA-PSC MYSTERY???

Will LEADING EDUCATORS EXPLAIN how NORTHSIDE ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS can run a segregated system within Sutton Middle School and North Atlanta High School?

Will these educated folk tell us how APS NORTHSIDE SCHOOLS have been carefully left out to the media’s reports of the cheating scandal.

Some of us know the REAL ISSUES in the APS cover-up.
It is more about covering-up for the LEADING EDUCATORS and the Atlanta Business Community than TEST SCORES and providing an equal education to ALL of Atlanta’s children.

The REAL Sociopaths INVOLVED IN RETALIATION to SILENCE the wrong-doing remain and they are still roaming the halls of APS.

“Teacher after teacher after principal talked about how they were intimidated by administrators or they were threatened with their job. It’s the stuff novels are made of. People described it to me like working for the mafia,” Ware said. “I just couldn’t imagine an educational system operating that way.”

(Keri Ware, was part of the investigative team appointed to probe allegations of widespread cheating in the Atlanta Public Schools system)

Some of the “mafia” remain still in place within the compounds of ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

SOME educated FOLKS NEED TO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.

Leaving the determination of this corrupt regime in the hands of the Georgia Professional Standards Commission is just like asking the former APS Office of Internal Resolution to investigate and hold hearings against their own corruption. Remember these two agencies at one time held hands in their previous dealings with reported wrong-doing.

The APS corruption is deep rooted … and much more about NORTHSIDE APS than SOUTHSIDE… removing the few administrators and teachers who were asked to confess…left many teachers and administrators that retaliated AND lacked a conscience to confess with their heels dug in…

The REAL Sociopaths INVOLVED IN RETALIATION to SILENCE the wrong-doing remain and they are still roaming the halls of APS.

This did not happen overnight…and APS did not clean house with one attempt. MANY ARE STILL HIDING. Much has still not been discussed. TABOO SUBJECTS remain silenced in the APS mafia.

Warren T. Jackson Elementary School & The Northside APS Atlanta Way

Did Rhee and Hall consult the same playbook on how to respond to news of cheating?

Beverly Hall, Kathy Augustine, Lorraine Reich, Patrice Austin, Tamara Cottman, Millicent Few, Margaret Coleman, many of the current APS Board members, Rhee, THEY’VE ALL MEMORIZED THEIR LINES with the help of The Atlanta Way.

It is a regime and a script. Jackson Assistant Principal, Patrice Austin testified stating she was a dedicated APS employee and would do ANYTHING her superiors TOLD HER TO DO.

A STAFF OF EMPLOYEES at JACKSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL are still silenced to the APS leadership. They have their memorized responses and they depend on the connected folk in the Atlanta Buckhead System to manipulate the GEORGIA PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS COMMISSION to do their underhanded investigations to cover-up the corruption.

Rhee is part of the regime. The roots of this corruption are tangled in the business community…and everyone knows they all take care of the problems together in their circle of corruption.

This is not just about CHEATING ON TESTS this is about money $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Follow the money. And the Rhee money is part of the total fraud in public education.

APS INTEGRATED Fifty Years Ago –THE SMOKE & MIRRORS of the ATLANTA NORTHSIDE

Fifty Years Ago This Month: APS Is Integrated – Flash Back – Atlanta Magazine

The real heroes of the day were the nine teenagers who entered the hostile territory of those four high schools, and their bravery was largely greeted with silence. Mary McMullen Francis, who integrated Grady High School, told Atlanta magazine four decades later that no one asked her how her day went, and no one talked about her experience. “Even in my own community, it was as if it never happened. The city made it known that nobody wanted you to talk about it.”

This is the ATLANTA WAY … and the APS schools have remained segregated on the NORTHSIDE OF ATLANTA to this day. Today, APS SUTTON MIDDLE SCHOOL & NORTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL remain segregated schools to satisfy the neighborhood. Slick at hiding the segregation of students…NORTHSIDE PARENTS have developed TEAMS within the schools to separate students and IB SCHOOLS to hide their separate but equal agenda. Their “neighborhood schools” segregate within the walls of the school. And minority leadership turns a blind eye to keep the “tax base” of ATLANTA SATISFIED until they can manipulate another way.

As seen in the APS-JACKSON SCHOOL’S idea of a “Family Suite”…

and the made up attempt 50 years AGO to INTEGRATE APS…

APS OFFICIALS and Buckhead NORTHSIDE SCHOOLS would like the public to again…erase it and “pretend as if it never happened. The city made it known that nobody wanted you to talk about it.”
