What happened to teachers actually TEACHING??
For Coach Rios:
I bring to you this poem
on didactic elocution;
presented to you here
via lingual evolution.
For it sometimes seems to me
that we eschew intelligence
and instead we favor more
the doltish bilge that represents
the lack of education
the illiterate endorse
and not the terminology
our teachers should enforce.
But you, sir, seem to feel obliged
to undermine their schooling
by weakening the teaching that’s
their parents’ will and ruling,
and if we let you aid our kids
by giving adumbration,
(…after all, it’s just a simple
hint to cogitation…)
then we shant be surprised
to find their learning gone amiss.
An thin we ken get ewes
too seaing righting jest like this!
Sick of this? Contact HISD Superintendant and demand teachers/principals be held accountable for their actions:
Dr. Abelardo Saavedra, Superintendent of Schools

Can anyone imagine what would happen if Americans flocked into Mehico and started acting like these people do here? There would be no more room at the Federale Inn thats for sure.
If this country is so mean and horrible why dont these folks go back to Mehico and make that a habitable place to live?
I blame our leaders and GWB is an example. He went to Mehico and stuck his face right up Vince Fox’s rear end. Had he reamed Fox and stood up for the American culture a lot of this crap would stop.
The coach is discriminating against the illegals who can’t read Tex-Mex and all the other illegal aliens including the terrorist who snuck into this country. How come when it comes to crime, if you play the “race” card it suddenly makes it okay. It’s no wonder they get no respect from those who play by the rules. How does the coach teach the rules of baseball, one set for the mexicans and one set for the gringos!!!!
Mexico is such a hipocritcal joke it’s rediculous. It is just assumed that we should allow any of their citizens whether they are criminals or not into our country unabated. While, on the other hand, heaven forbid someone come across their southern border. Heaven forbid a foriegn citizen publicly protest in Mexico. The double standard is so obvious.
How does this guy keep his job after this? If he’s teaching ESL, what is the first language? EBONICS??? Come on, esse’. When my mom went to school in the Valley, she and all the other little kids had to learn English before they were eligible to advance. She told me of older boys sitting in her first and second grade classes until they learned enough to be moved up. Total immersion, the only way to go.
He probably can’t even conjugate his “fixin’ to’s”!
You should also call the East Regional office as well - 713-923-8597 if you would like to file a complaint. You can also call the School Board as well: 713-556-6121.
Some Teachers can’t teach,some students don’t want to learn,some parents don’t give a damn,some parents are illiterate, probably in spanish too. We are raising an army of illiterate workers, we have to IMPORT educated people from other countries to staff our well paying positions. Why are we here in America sending millions of illiterate students to college? It all seems such a waste of time and money. But Hey! we spend millions of $$$ on fancy sports complexes and if one student out of thousands makes it to the big leagues we get delirious with joy and feelings of accomplishment. We are raising a permanent underclass.The problem with that is, after a while, who is left to pay the taxes needed to keep this scheme going? We will be in as bad a shape as Mexico, with a few rich plantation owners running the show.
I can’t believe that so many people believe the lies:
This has nothing to do whatsoever with ALL immigrants, coach, only the illegal ones. Get your facts straight, and teach your students proper usage of the English (or even Spanish) language…

You mean we will be like the 9th ward in NO after Katrina? Dicovered a whole new sect of people on welfare. I hear Nova Scotia is nice.
Just wait till your administration tells you that it’s time to move up North. We need to give Mexico their land back. Don’t laugh. I see this as a strong possibility.
a. He printed the flyer on school time on a school copier. Why does he still have his job as an ESL teacher?
b. He’s an English teacher and wrote a flyer like that? Why does he still have his job?

The teacher probably wanted anyone who saw the posters to believe that a student wrote them. Just my guess.
No big deal folks!
America is dead.

He has his job for the same reason that Cynthia “Buckwheat” McKinney will never be prosecuted for cold-cocking a cop: Because he is unfairly protected by his minority status. Neither of these incompetent assclowns would have been handed their job if it wasn’t for quotas and racial gerrymandering.
Ask yourself two questions:
What would be the result if Tom Delay had punched that cop?
What would be the result if a WASP had floated a note to inspire students to skip school and demonstrate as a show of support for the importance of whites to the USA?
Don’t bother complaining to HISD thay don’t care. Now is the time to push for a voucher system.

We just like to think someone cares? What a relief I don’t have children in school! I would have to start home schooling for them. We could do that, all the schools would fold, then no need for taxes and children could read and write English. If for no other reason than to search for better qualified teachers, BUT not like the one in Delaware.
With teachers like this —– who needs schools
HISD should check this teacher’s references and verify that he did go to school, and does have his teaching certificate. It’s become commonplace to discover that they do not have the credentials, until after an incident that would lead to their termination. Of course, the HISD is probably concentrating on planning next year’s holiday/in service days for next year.
Did they do anything to Reagan High School’s principal, for the flag incident? I have not heard, and would expect them to brush this one under the rug. Keep in mind, minorities do not have to play by the same rules.
Would you please give him a break after all it is a high school for mexicans not Americans. They learn the word two in senior year now so they would not know what it was.

“They told me… my sisters, my brothers.. they told us all… just walk out of school,” said the student. “All the Mexicans in this school, we’d all have to see our grandparents go back. And that’s just wrong.”
I am like, what’s wrong with Esparanto?
Question - if illegals are breaking the law then why can no one perform a citizen’s arrest on them? Sorry if slightly off the subject
