This 21 page string created and maintained by the lunatics of Melrose needs to die a quick and painless death. Transparency is the most overused word in government.
March 14, 2018 the seniors will walk out of MHS for 17 minutes around ten o'clock. The protest is to enforce new gun laws. Power to all the students at MHS.For the victims and stronger gun control.
The discomfort of thought has the potential to draw in a crowd. But it can’t happen without more truth, openness, and debate first.
The City is in such a tailspin covering up the school issues and the drug problems. Look out for yourself and your own interests.Because the leadership in this City has "gone along to get along" for so long that they deny and avoid all conflict and can't handle a municipal budget in an honest and equitable way. So, take care of yourself and your family.
Folks - stop this ridiculous discussion! She is an arrogant, egotistical bureaucrat who will leave when she finishes her current term so that she can maximize her retirement benefits - and the school committee will not let her go and admit they made a mistake.
I do! Freedom of speech on an open message board - please seek other message boards if you are too offended - otherwise - accept the criteria for posting - anonymity & freedom of speech!
Lesson to be learned: Change the school superintendent . short of this nothing changes.
It's about being accountable..What has to happen for someone to read into this major problem in Melrose.
Real leadership is needed in Melrose.
Regardless of who is our current Mayor, the problem lies within the City Charter. The Charter is what needs to be changed.
All Spin and Lies.
Absolutely NO override.
Just think about the fact that the last 3 Speakers of the House in Mass have been convicted of felonies and two have been jailed - tells you all you need to know about the political corruption in this single party state.
The exodus is well beyond the high school; it's K-12. I've had many a conversation with previous and current teachers about the MPS. The young ones ask: "Is it me or is this school system without organization?" The veteran's clarion cry is: "It will never change. No accountability from the mayor down. If your kid is AP you're OK. If not your kid is screwed. Glad when I can retire." Within that morass are many -- not all -- dedicated professionals. The reason so many parents send their kids outside the public schools is they know the culture of the school system is bereft of any organization and accountability. Melrose rides the PR horse for its location and RE turnover. Young people come in with false illusions of the city and schools, stay 3-5 years and then escape. The RE folks love it while the masses get taxed for less than adequate services. If you don't believe the aforementioned,get a copy of the independent 1990 and 2000 and 2010 NEASC accreditation reports about the high school and follow the dots of their concerns the past 30 years.
The city made the Police get the 30,000 dollar Pomeroy audit and it actually showed they were operating understaffed and underfunded causing dangerous conditions in the City. I’m sure an audit will expose the funding shellgame being played. Know it is time for the school to go audit.
There are so many employees jumping ship midyear at the high school the system can't keep up. Within the last month four employees quit from the same special needs class and the reasons have nothing to do with the students, though this type of wreakless abandon negatively impacts students who are used to and depend on routine. Don't get me wrong, it's with good reason and self preservation people went elsewhere. Perhaps the administers of the school should look into the reasons every single Paraprofessional couldn't even hang on until years end, because trust me,there are legitimate severe concerns that should have been addressed a few years ago.
Sorry, but I have no idea what chaios is, nor do I have any idea what wreakless abandon is.
reckless abandon
Not true. I simply feel that when someone is calling someone else stupid, they should at least get the term correct themselves!
Thank you. It appears that you share my feeling that correct spelling and punctuation are critical for effective communication, and that it was, in fact, not my comment that marginalized the poster's point, but the poster's own dreadful spelling that did that. I wonder if either of those two dimwits can even spell dictionary, let alone use one. Stupid is as stupid does, I guess - like giving the launch codes to someone who can't pronounce nuclear correctly. Nucular? WTF is that? Part of an eyeball?
The etymology for stupid is as stupid does is as follows: Modeled after handsome is as handsome does, attested to since at least 1862. Although Tom Hanks as Forest Gump did say it in the movie, the expression has existed for many years prior to the making of the movie. Therefore, it does not require quotation marks, since it is common usage.
I have no idea how you arrived at the conclusion that I was spinning anything. For the record, I think the entire school administration should be fired. The same goes for those twits on the School Committee. I couldn't stand the former Mayor, and am glad he's gone. Unfortunately the charter is so poorly written we are now stuck with Infurna, who takes her direction from Dolan and his remaining lackeys. We've got school buildings not being used as school buildings, and at the same time just spent six million bucks on modulars at Winthrop.
My meanial civil service job? I don't have one, nor do I have a menial civil service job. Additionally I don't understand what Beebee is.
I guess the bottom line is this - if you want my attention, and you want to be taken seriously, speak English. You also may want to spend some time reading up on appropriate paragraph construction, run-on sentences, and sentence fragments. Otherwise, get out of my face. I have no time to waste on an ignoramus.
Dear Ms/r. know it all. Kiss my bl@ck/red, white and blue a$$.
We live in a country that had a President who couldn’t pronounce nuclear correctly, so an entire news network started pronouncing it incorrectly so he wouldn’t sound stupid! Sad.
Get over yourselves
i no Comey; write? Just cuz you and i doesnt right as gud as them their like all your not as gud as us. There the stupid ones and people listen too me and yew.
The system has failed the special needs students when the administration came in 2008- 2009.
There is a way to adequately educate special needs students, but our MPS aren't doing it-especially not for those students of color. When poor parents and parents of color fight for their children they are seen as aggressive... They are treated as if they don't know what they are talking about.
All special education teachers's must earn their bachelor's degree before teaching special education, but some states require an additional master's degree and/or certification in special education. Some states may require a license to teach in a public school setting. Sadly this teacher has not received what is needed to teach special needs children. The superintendent hires many without the correct certification.
"To become a teacher if you didn't major in education, in most states you will need to complete an alternative teacher preparation program. These programs typically must be approved by the state's board of education and lead to a post graduate certificate or a master's degree plus licensure" Superintendent Taymore firmly stood by this protocol.
This all started with the the election of arrogant and incompetent school committee members headed by self-serving chairpersons. They dish our enough favors to remain in office for years - developing a school network to ensure re-election for years to come - while parents are too busy trying to scrape by paying little attention to the education of their children. The schools imploding is the only event that will change this formula - which appears on the horizon!
It really started to sink to the lowest depth in July 2012 with the arrival of Taymore and her crew though they still kept the unbelievable inept PWL in SPED. It was doing poorly under Casey in 2007 and those he brought with him.

Melrose takes awhile to wake up and hopefully not to long this time.
The school committee did make a mistake.It is time to Call for the resignation of Cyndy Taymore.
Jealousy is not a pretty color, people. #Be Best!
Jealousy is not a color. Ditto for the other times you posted the same!
Clean the swamp and Melrose will change.
