Melrose Community Page & other observations

There is a very interesting string that has started on the Melrose Community Facebook page. A question was posed to the community from a family moving into Melrose from out of town and they were wondering which school has the best services for kids with an IEP. The responses were basically all from parents with great experiences lobbying for the services or general education at their individual elementary schools. These were real people, who publicly identified themselves. Who are you losers on Melrose Messages? Have some balls, go on the Facebook community page and tells these parents that they are ignorant and don't know what they are talking about...or that they are a shills for the mayor or work for the City.

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

Right. A totally unbiased opinion can be found on the Melrose Education Foundation page - oops! I mean the Melrose Community page. [:))]

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

Any parents dumb enough to be posting such confidential information on a public Facebook page about their children, special needs children at that, deserve to be dealing with the idiocy of the Melrose Public Schools. The administrators of that page are idiotic, also, so it figures that they wouldn't think there's anything inappropriate in these kinds of postings. (One of them runs a McDonald's nearby and publicly expressed her hurt about the protest link regarding unhealthful food options being pushed at children. Ya think? How about the unhealthful educational mess that the MPS has pushed on local families!)

And predictably Bozoface must capitalize on the local gullibles in typical disgusting, tiresome fashion.

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

All I can say to any parent who believes there child will need special services is keep them far away from the crazy-@ss administrator at HM who believes that parent complaints about IEPs or teacher misconduct issues are best handled by intimidating and retaliating against them using public resources and also public humiliation.

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

No surprises here.

Clown Patrol, why don't you get some balls and disclose your name here on Melrose Messages so we can all know who the person is who spews out all the nonsense and hatred?

MG is my guess for the real name behind Clown Patrol.

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

Now now…..Mr. or Ms. Clown Patrol enjoys the same anonymity as anyone who chooses to post here. It’s the posters like Clowney who actually legitimize this site and continue to do so. After all…if this site wasn’t a threat then Clowney wouldn’t bother with it.

And because of this site the Melrose Community page and Melrose Uncensored was born. And all serve a purpose. But the difference is that Clown Patrol can spew his or her filth here namelessly and make weak attempts to counter balance the truth that is revealed here all the time! Where else would the Globe and the Free Press get their stories about our little burb?

So I say thank you to Clown Patrol! You provide a vital public service as a watch dog for the Mayor and his sycophants. You dost protest too much Clowney. And it's obvious. [:)s]

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

You losers are priceless. Still waiting for the big public meeting to stand up to the machine. Post the date, time and place and if you can get ten people to show up I'll send over a dunk tank and some whip cream pies so you clowns can hone your skills. PW is having delusions of grandeur. This site is a useless piece of garbage...you can't get a candidate elected, you can't get a meeting together, and no one will ever run against Dolan. Look at the SC. You clowns couldn't put up a candidate that could beat a felon. Its priceless. Its the flea with an erection floating down the river on his back screaming raise the drawbridge. 4 Ivies Baby, parents arguing for new parents to attend their elementary schools, house prices through the roof, best senior class in 20 years, another dominant athletic year at MHS...ya you bozos have your hands on the pulse of the City. Boo Yah!

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

Well - Clown - if there are so many people who are for this administration both city and school then please explain why the override failed so miserably 2 to 1? When it comes to money - people believe only when you show them progress - and then they will dip into their pockets to pay more money. So although we may have a former felon on the school committee, have a Mayor who keeps getting elected, and an incompetent school superintendent, people will not pay them any more money unless they show more progress. So go back to your city office and tell your boss - NO MORE MONEY until you change things for the better! Get it?

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

Ahhh...Waka, Waka, Waka...

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

Clown Patrol: You seem to be curiously proud of a city that has a felon on school committee, where the school committee, sc chair, superintendent of schools and school administration, with the apparent blessing of it's city solicitor, repeatedly violate or permit violations of open meeting and public records laws, not to mention civil rights laws.

You also seem to be curiously proud of a city where there are such restrictive requirements in order to run for mayor, that you must divest yourself of your family business, eliminating the majority of potential candidates. Doesn't sound like Democracy at work to me like the founding fathers envisioned it. Do you think in a million years that our forefathers ever thought a sitting politician would push for a redraft it's city charter to restrict local businessmen and women from running for his position?

Are you proud that 30% of those who entered the voting booth at the last election could not in good conscience pull the lever for the incumbent mayor ...running unopposed?

Do you think this is healthy for our city?

You are trying to talk logically and sensibly to an established fool and city hall sycophant! Don't waste your breath although it is important to remind people why so many of us are unsatisfied with our city officials.

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

Melrose is a perfect example of what happens when small minded people get a little power and the electorate is either too dumb or too disconnected to care. These maggots pull this crap because they know they can get away with it. If they thought they couldn't get away with it, it wouldn't happen.

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

All do care.The joke is on you.It is what it is.So have a good night and thank about this.

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

Whew! I rest my case.

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

YOUR CASE YOU ARE OUT TO LUNCH.

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

Ahhh...Waka, Waka, Waka...

Re: Melrose Community Page & other observations

As with any public forum, the first task is to separate out the obvious nitwits and morons, like the prior two posters.

Re: Sex predator lives minutes from High School

Dear Aaron: Although this trial is important, it would be most appropriate for our local newspaper to start doing some in-depth stories on our dysfunctional school system. I believe you know many knowledgeable people in the district that could provide you plenty of information on the many issues that the public is fed up with in the management of our schools. Of course you will get negative feedback from our Mayor as well as from the local real estate firms - but again - what is the function of a "free press"?

Nightmare:

HMmmmm.....How about the elementary school principal who immediately files false police reports against parents who have just filed educator misconduct complaints or complaints about their child's IEP? Or on a good day, will let the parents off with just a suspension from school/volunteer activities? Or require you to arrange an administrative escort while at the school for meetings about your child?

Thank you for posting this. I thought I was the only one that this has happened to at the Horace Mann. Its embarrassing to talk about, but every parent this has happened to must speak out in public about the outrageous and illegal behavior of this bully. It is a tragedy to see her destroying this school by lashing out at parents and children who have concerns, rather then fixing the problems.
