There are other "teachers" on the staff that also don't have valid teaching credentials. I've also heard that the person mentioned in the two previous posts was not able to pass the arithmetic part of the competency test all teachers take until her fifth try. We have absolute dunces teaching kids in Trona! That may also be what is keeping the K-12 Coordinator from becoming properly credentialed. The last thing we need is dumb people teaching our kids! This is pure insanity and to make matters worse four experienced and highly qualified teachers left the district as a result of the "superintendent's" utter and complete incompetence! Despite this the morons on the school board gave the idiot a raise. Talk about a waste of taxpayer money!
You might be able to distract parents with funzy-wunzy activities for awhile, but sooner or later the truth comes out: The kids aren't learning anything!

It was a funny story and I won't give any details since this teacher can be quite vindictive, but at the end of the story this child referred to the teacher as a "total c*nt" to which my friend (the child's mother) said "yeah, she's a total bitch." My friend and her child went on to share some funny stories about other things this teacher has done so far this school year. It's amazing that such people are allowed to teach, but the funniest bit came when her child said, "I'm pretty sure that her and Ms. Y***** dyke out all the time." My friend laughed and affirmed that this is the rumor going around town. Ms. Y is the K-12 coordinator and it is widely known that most people on the school staff can't stand her and that the lady is absurdly unqualified, but that she is liked by members of the school board and the useless stupid-intendent. Only in Trona can such things happen!
Not surprising. Kids in that age range can be pretty rude (or honest) and they don't like adults who nag them all the time.

When they made the dumbest person on the staff the K-12 Coordinator, that was a pretty clear indication that the people running things are complete morons. I have family with kids in the school and they are extremely dissatisfied with what's going on there. I recall that Obama had a program called Race To The Top. Obviously in Trona it's a Race To The Bottom!
Good teachers jump ship when leadership is incompetent. No professional wants to be told what to do by worthless morons!
