Plagiarizing Principal Tells Springstead High Valedictorian to Rewrite Speech

Posted by kate on Jun 4, 2009 in Education, Tampa Bay Issues

If I had a daughter, I’d want her to be a lot like Jem Lugo, a bright and funny senior at Springstead High School in Hernando County. As valedictorian, she was tasked with writing a speech to deliver at her school’s graduation ceremony.
I’ve been to several commencement exercises and the speeches given by the smartest [...]

What Five Songs Describe You?

Posted by kate on May 16, 2009 in Education, Friends, General Nonsense, Religion

Facebook has a million of these little exercises, but I haven’t seen this one yet. Are there songs that describe your personality, winning smile, or philosophy on life? What are they?
Me first. Oh yes, these quotes and songs are perfect. Get to know me and sing along.
This first one, perhaps more than the others, almost [...]

Sickles High School in Trouble for Crotch Shot Photo

Posted by kate on May 14, 2009 in Education, Family, Parenting, Politics, Uncategorized

Another Sickles’ goof or goof-up?
When I first heard about the bare vagina on display in the pages of Sickles High School’s 2009 yearbook, I laughed out loud.
One of those deep belly laughs that last for five minutes. My tongue hangs out. I grab my sides. The works. I could just picture the yearbook advisor catching [...]

This Swine Flu Hysteria Has Been Brought to You By…

Posted by kate on Apr 28, 2009 in Education, Gun Control, Health Care, Politics

Who is aware that there were two cops killed in Northern Florida this weekend?
Anyone?
All two of you…wow. That’s two more than I would have guessed. Instead of reporting real news of consequence, the media is focused on hysteria and confusion in the hopes of garnering more readers and viewers.

Posted by kate on Apr 24, 2009 in Education, Politics, Tampa Bay Issues, torture

Lots of stuff going on in Kate’s world.
Had a contributor’s meeting with the peeps at Creative Loafing.
Because I’m one of their contributors.

But in the grand scheme of things, this tradition is rather harmless. Students raise some needed funds and [...]

Posted by kate on Feb 16, 2009 in Education, Parenting

How many times have you read about some nutty kid who shoots up a school or hurts himself and the surrounding community blames school officials? Dozens of times, right? Schools are then required to do certain things under the law if presented with a child who might be at risk to hurt himself or others. [...]
