get your facts straight. Rosie signed a school year
Posted By: contract due to her kids, to end in June...sm on 2007-04-25
In Reply to: Me thinks she got the boot ...Barbara Walters - acts all torn up over this......sm
that was when her original contract was supposed to expire, June 2007, a school-year yearly contract. ABC wanted her to sign a 3-year contract for the amount of $$ she requested.........and she only wanted to sign a one-year contract.......
I will miss her as I had given up the View due to Star Jones' fiascos....and now, once again, after June, I will never watch it again. Rosie brought the ratings up because after 9 years of Star Jones, people were tired of the show.
Ta-Ta to The View and ABC.....

Yes, and friends too. But school is where kids learn facts, so whatever their teacher says (sm)
they are going to think it must be right. I think that is unfair leverage to use to support your own point of view as a teacher.
Looks like you signed and are liable. Sorry you had a fever when you signed.

Anyone been able to get out of year-round school? sm
I applied last year for year-round school for my son - well I applied for magnet schools and clicked a box that said year round was an option for me. He got in. My daughter was still in traditional. We hated the year round schedule. Now they will not let him out. It is like we are trapped forever. I just moved to another house and went to register him for a new school that is in our zone and was told that since there is a year-round option he still has to go to year round. I have to go to Growth Management to ask to get him out and they will probably say no. What can I do? How can I get him out? Has anyone ever given them what they consider to be a valid reason? I am very upset!
this year at our e.school they started a new thing...
the principal is a young hip guy...his new idea is called the "blue team", when a child is caught doing something "excellent", could be anything from getting along, teamwork, perfect paper..anything...the teacher writes a happy gram, sends him to the principal and he draws blue dots on one of their fingernails and is now "in the BLUE TEAM" ..its so corny, but eventually every child in the school is slowly recognized...its corny for sure but it gives them something to work towards. my little kindergarten boy..who can be so difficult just thought it was the coolest thing ever. my 3rd grade daughter got in at the beginning of the year and i really didnt think my son would, but just 2 weeks ago he did...he was so proud. wouldnt let me wash his finger that whole night...its just simple things.....
That was me my senior year of high school.
Since kindergarten for me, I was always above average in school. I was always on the Honor Roll. I always did my homework. I always cared about my grades. In 9th, 10th and 11th grades I still cared. I was in the National Honor Society and still making As and Bs. If I made a C, I was crushed. Then my senior year of high school, something changed. Keep in mind, that the summer before my senior year, my dear Aunt passed away suddenly and we were very close. That year, it seemed like I just stopped caring. The classes I were in had none of my friends. My lunch period had none of my friends. I just usually stayed in the library during lunch. That was the 1st semester. I still did my work and tried to do good. Then the 2nd semester hit and I really stopped caring. I quit doing any school work and that was HIGHLY unusual for me. I was just so sick of school. In March with only 2 or 3 months to go til graduation, I dropped out. All my teachers called because they were just so shocked because I had always been such a good student. The counselors came out to my house and talked with my mom and thought I had social anxiety, but I wouldn't talk to them. I don't know what happened. I just knew that I hated school with a passion and couldn't bear going anymore. I spent like a year wasting around and then I knew I had to get my diploma. So I went to the community college and got my GED. And then I went on to college and got my Associate's. I think that nowadays, they just make school so aggravating and hard for kids. There are horrible teachers who don't care. They depend so much on students passing these end of grade tests instead of going by their grades throughout the year. Such as my cousin for ex., she in in 5th grade and had ADHD. She is in a special class. So far this year, she has made only 1 C. The school sent out a letter half way through the year saying she is in danger of failing. Now, does that make any sense? No. She does great in school but on those end of grade tests, she just does not do good. So, if she fails the end of grade testing, even if she was on the Honor Roll throughout the whole year, she fails her grade. That is NOT fair. The school systems are just stupid i think. I think a lot of kids, once they get to high school, are just so sick of school and how things are, they just don't want to care anymore. I am sure your son will get over this slump. But with me, I dropped out but I still ended up with a diploma and going to college, so I am sure he will turn out fine.
Well, I had to send my twin 3-year-olds to a school.
They are there all day long and I work all day. Paying for the daycare and making more money is about equal to when I worked at home with them in my way, only I am more sane for it and they are learning great social skills. I would really consider changing your hours and putting them in school/daycare/learning center, even if just for a few hours a day. It does help.
Like I said, I feel for you. I have twin 3-year-olds, and I swear they seem worse than when they were 2! LOL!
7-year-old with behavior problems at school inquiry...sm
Our 7-year-old has problems with peer relations, has always had this and it's getting worse. She is a moody child and comes on too strongly with her peers which is why she doesn't have but 1 friend.
We're now having increasing problems with her talking back to the teachers at school when she's redirected for not doing as she's supposed to be doing in class. We've had problems with both of these issues with her in the past but it was better last year when she was in a smaller classroom setting. Now she's in a class with 25 kids and the problems are worse than ever. Sigh.
We've tried role playing with her on how to respond to her peers appropriately. She's been given everything from rewards for good behavior to restrictions for not behaving, but the problems continue. The school psychologist has put her into a group of kids that have a hard time with peers once a week to help with the socialization skills.
Anyone else deal with this and if so, what strategies did you use to overcome this? I'm more concerned about her negative responses to the teachers than anything. We're not having problems with her behaving at home - it's only at school. Any suggestions will be greatly welcome!
this is explained in writing beginning school year.

12-year old girl forced to take pregnancy test due to school rumor
NEVADA CITY, Calif. -- A 12-year-old girl was forced to take a pregnancy test at school in Nevada City, a lawsuit filed in Nevada County Superior Court alleges.
The Pacific Justice Institute, which is representing the girl, said in a news release that Steve Davis, a counselor at Seven Hills Middle School, pulled the girl out of class.
KCRA 3 has decided not to name the girl out of protection for her privacy.
Davis heard rumors that she was pregnant and wanted to know if it was true, the release said.
Though she denied it and told Davis a classmate had spread rumors about her in the past, the counselor got a pregnancy test from the school nurse and told the 12-year-old to give a urine sample, the Pacific Justice Institute said.
The pregnancy test was negative.
According to the news release, the girl was embarrassed and humiliated, and her parents were angry when they found out.
They worked with the Pacific Justice Institute to get an apology from the Nevada City School District, but didn't receive one.
The lawsuit, filed Oct. 29, 2008, seeks damages for violation of the girl's right to privacy and emotional distress.
"There is no merit in the claim," Superintendent Roger Steel said. He directed further questions to the district's attorney.
Reached at home Monday night, Davis said he had no comment on the lawsuit.
Call the school. I had a threat like this in my high school and they cancelled school that day.
Thankfully, because the person making the threats was found with material for home made pipe bombs and quit a bit of ammunition and a shotgun. He was arrested and charged. Never allowed back in the school.
I think it would be safer to call the school and get classes cancelled for a day to investigate versus make a scene in the parking lot, especially if the student with the knife is inside with the knife.
Good luck. If nothing happens, pull your child out of school for a week. See what happens. I know that sounds horrible, but small towns is where this happens most often.
It was just signed here into law
in Washington state that it is illegal to protest within 500 feet of a funeral because this is the same thing that has happened in this state. I am so glad it was signed just yesterday. I think these people are full of hate.
THANKS , I SIGNED UP FOR IT nm

Thanks to both of you! I've signed up and am

We both signed an agreement that
I would pay for the setting up of the rescue group, license, incorporation fees, food, medicine and in return I would be able to rescue and interact with the animals. In the months since starting in January, I have only been able to pull animals 1 time. It is said in the agreement signed that should this be broken, then the monies I have spent would be refunded. I have spent out about $3,000- $4,000 and that was the agreement we signed and apparently by refusing to take my calls or emails she is breaking the agreement. Does not make me any more angry to ask.
Rosie
Glad she is finally gone from the View, at least, even though that won't shut her up.
rosie
I agree. She seems to make everything about her and her g*y rights. Nothing wrong with that but come on. Lets face reality.
and I assume they have all signed HIPAA
contracts! Sorry about your loss. That is a crowded workstation. Why do my cats think they can sit in my lap while I type?
She ALLOWED it to happen. She signed for it.
She's no saint nor even a decent parent to not stand up for her child.
What a bunch of crap.
I got signed up 20 years ago at a presentation...
by a sister-in-law who had ties in Idaho. You had to commit to buying so much product each month, the products - even the shampoos and laundry soaps - smelled horrible, and there was no money to be made. Most people I know turn around and walk away when you start with the Amway, TEAM, Herbalife, Mona Vie, etc.
I had a friend who got into Mellaluca 7 or 8 years later in a different state, and she tried to recruit me then, so we got to talking about how I had been there done that. She never made any money either. Just my experience. 
principal should not have signed the form
if the student was not allowed to go. By signing the form, he gave permission. Therefore, the student should have no problems getting his diploma. He has the principal's signature saying it was okay to go, which is better than words saying he should not go.
Boy I sure did YESTERDAY! Just signed on this a.m., haven't noticed yet. nm

If you haven't signed yet wtih DirecTV or
you're still in your recission period, call Dish Network and see if they offer the local channels in your area. I have Dish and I know that it took them quite a few years to be able to offer me my local channels.
For several years I signed a permission slip
for a scoliosis test for my daughter. I know she has a curve. She has to go for an x-ray every year to see if there has been any progression,and there has been slight progression but not enough to do anything yet. I have never once recieved anything from the school stating that we should get this checked. School nurse has always said she was fine.
rosie and donald
Rosie is not on her way out. She has brought over a million viewers to THE VIEW. Everytime she opens her mouth, it's money for the network and for Barbara Walters, who owns the show.
Donald is a publicity hound. He will do and say anything to get his mug on camera.
I agree with Rosie about Donald's hypocrisy. She has been with the same woman for years and they are raising 4 kids - TOGETHER under the same roof. He is on his 3rd or 4th always-younger wife and his kids have been raised by their mothers. Who knows more about commitment?
Donald should have just been happy to get the free publicity from Rosie's little tirade about him and the Miss USA (who should have had the title taken away). He got really nasty and personal and just plain ugly with his name calling.
rosie and donald
After Trump excused the beauty pageant girl who had been under-age drinking and allowed her to keep her crown (miss usa I think?), Rosie shot back sarcastically how he (Trump) has no right to be the moral compass for unde 21 year olds as he cheated on his first two wives and now has a trophy wife much younger, etc etc. Trump fired back something about Rosie being a fat-ass and that he was going to sue her. I think her remarks were right on the money and his reply was pretty trashy. He is becoming a bit of a joke IMO with that hair and his mistresses and yet another trophy wife. I think his ego has gotten out of control.
Can't stand Rosie, but never ....
thought much of Donald either. I can't believe how much attention this whole thing is getting. I wish they would both go away.
oops. sorry. too many rosie's, I think.
nm
no she's not further left than Rosie....
like most of the world.........*lol*
Know the facts...
Get your facts straight
http://www.pitbulllovers.com/pit-bulls-ten-things-you-should-know.html
Pitbulls were NOT bred to attack humans. Unfortunately some humans trained & bred pitbulls to fight dogs. Dog aggression is not to be mistaken with people aggression. And like I said before, in so-called reported "pitbull" attacks unless I was there & I heard & seen EXACTLY what happened, I am not about to pass judgement.
Here are some facts.
http://www.dogsbite.org/bite-fatalities-2008.htm
Notice how many of these descriptions of fatalities use the phrase "the family's pit bull".
Both are facts, now if you said - sm
I think Judy Blume books are great.....then that is an opinion. Or, My mom thinks I look good in blus shirts, again that is her opinion (she thinks, I think, etc.). All in the phrasing and point of view of the statement. But I enjoy would be a fact, because you are stating what you like to do (a fact), and your mom liking something is a fact as well, as it is a definite statement.
the facts
One of his daughters is allergic to dog fur which makes it very hard to get a rescue dog. The dog was a gift from E. Kennedy. The Obamas, in lieu of getting a rescue dog gave a 'substantial donation' to the humane society (or similar) in D.C., which, IMO, will save many more dogs than the one he would have rescued.
Just signed it and e-mailing the info to family and friends. nm

rosie might be in trouble if he sues her.
but i agree with her...why is he involved in MISS USA anyway? does he own it??? cuz, he like she said does not have a good track record for role models.
Rosie O'Donnell as stated below
Rosie Leaving The View
Just watching The View. I know a lot of you wil be happy. Rosie just announced that she's leaving The View. I didn't catch exactly when she was leaving or why, but she did mention her children as a factor.
Roseanne Barr Not Rosie
The View is on ABC. Unless you're talking about something that Roseanne had set up with The View and or CBS already. Then sorry for the confusion.
The worst part IMO is Rosie is going to be on again-UGH

Don't know the facts about this family but....
Common sense dictates that foods with added hormones and antibiotics CANNOT be good for human consumption. It is completely unncessary. I only buy eggs without hormones and additives to the chickens, free range, and the same with the milk. If a human mother were taking in hormones and antibiotics, wouldn't there be a warning to her if she were breastfeeding not to nurse her child, that this could potentially be dangerous.
snopes merely has all the facts
x
They're both facts
I enjoy reading books by Judy Blume. That's a factual statement. I'm not saying anything about the quality of the writing or the stories. Just that I like reading the books. If it were phrased Judy Blume's books are really, really good then that would be opinion. You may think so, but the person next to you may think they're trite.
Same goes with the shirt. My mom loves for me to wear blue shirts is a factual statement because your mom does indeed feel that way. If it were turned around so that it read My mom thinks blue shirts make me look good or My mom loves for me to wear blue shirts because they bring out my eyes then those statements are Mom's opinions. And we all know Mom is always right. ......... 
I'm liberal, but Rosie is nuts. That 911 conspiracy
a
I think I have this straight-
you took a job without the new job knowing you had a vacation set up and taking right? Bad time to have started UNLESS upfront you discuss the fact you have had set up for this and that length of time. The job I am with now was started right when I had planned in advance for some time a vacation. Before hired, I told them of my plans and asked any problem? No and I have been at same place now since 2006. I never would start a job and then spring on them the next week oh vacation time. As far as advice, just find another job. If you put in your notice at first job, I probably would ask for that back until you get something else.
That's a straight lie
Last Christmas our church bought toys for the kids in the neighborhood for their parents to give them KNOWING that the chances of them ever actually participating in the church were slim to none. We didn't screen, we just made sure those parents got to give their kids a decent Christmas.
That's just one example, I can give you many more.
How about Brother Charlies, a "thrift" store in Georgia who usually just gives away clothes to anyone who can't afford to pay a couple dollars a shirt. Or the Brother Charlies shelter, who takes in any and all men (because most shelters are for women and children)
We have a conference once a month at our church and a budget list is passed out. About 70% of our funds go to organizations and food pantries. We have needed bathrooms and a new A/C unit in our church for about five years now but we are waiting until we can afford it WITHOUT taking money from the charities and pantries we support. Til then we will just put up with leaky toilets and hot summers and cold winters. God never said we'd get to be comfortable!
I'm so tired of everyone always ragging on the churches. Why don't you stop spitting the same ol' rhetoric that you hear and go do some checking out for yourself.
And before you come back and say you already did and they turned you down, then you need to check out different churches. Those that are OF GOD and FOR GOD will turn away NO ONE.
Just speaking the facts, ma'am, ;)
x
always so negative I got her name right maybe you just dont have all the facts
Her name was Vicki Lynn however those who did know her from before know that she used the nickname Nicki when she worked in the clubs around Houston and when she went to Playboy they changed her name to Anna Nicole.
Enjoy your rant I just gave my opinion like everyone else sorry to have annoyed you with a little different point of view.
Just stating the facts ma'am, and it looks like
you are not such a great diagnostician either! lol
And the facts are, that gays exist, and want to
X
And the facts are also that there are Christians and pedophiles and (sm)
people who have premarital sex, and people who are Nuns and people who do drugs. Do we take them on field trips for all of those too?
OP means Roseanne Barr; Rosie O'D not Jewish *l*
