Blame the Teachers!
Evidently, State Rep Monique Davis couldn't figure out a way to blame the police without looking like a total asshole. So she blames the teachers and somehow, still manages to look like a total asshole. Here's a partial transcript of a piece on WBBM Newsradio yesterday:
- Taken from the 4:30 p.m. News to Go for 10/07/09. It starts at 1 minute 58 seconds in (no timer on recording).
Bernie Tafoya intro: Even though the framework for a solution is multipronged, State Representative Monique Davis says more police is not the answer. She pins the blame on teachers for not showing students how to be better citizens.
Monique Davis: If you’re not taught to value human life, or to respect your fellow man, if that is not taught through belonging to clubs, through art, through music, through literature, if these things aren’t being taught, then you’re just, you’re just like a figure. You know, we’re putting this in your head and that in your head, but we’re not making you a human being.
BT: Shouldn't that be taught at home?
MD: We can say should or shouldn't, but we pay teachers.
BT: Shouldn't it be taught at home?
MD: We don’t pay, we don’t pay home...
BT: Should it be taught at home?
MD: Of course. We’d love for it to be taught at home. But in most schools, it’s taught in school.
Wow. Just wow.
The "cradle-to-grave-welfare, blame everyone else but the face in the mirror" society just hit a new low. A-fucking-mazing. We wonder how many new social programs and tax hikes this idiot is going to spawn based on this little news item.

Channel 7 news: Some ROTC student stated that school is going to provide some kind of role models if THERE AREN'T ANY AT HOME FOR THE CHILDREN. I have no idea how that slipped past the censors and was aired (leaked) out.
Well the piece shit is a representative of her community. God forbid she and her community could take responsibility for raising these little jagoffs. Blame someone else instead of taking responsibilty for the kids they have and get welfare for. God forbid they have to do something.
The teachers can't even get these mutt's to read, much less be a productive citizen.
School sergeants were called to a meeting yesterday to be told about Huberman's new pet project for the at-risk high schoolers. Now, each problem student of the couple hundred he identifies as highest risk are going to have paid 'parents', who will tend to four kids each throughout the program.
Obviously, someone came to the conclusion that parents are absent in these kids lives.
keep voting for Daley he is a god of men.
There was a 10-1 Wed as school gets out at 103/Halsted. These kids don't learn, and the parents are outside rooting them on. Its like we work in bizarro world. They're the first to complain that we don't do anything about the violence, but the second we go and grab their son or daughter who is instigating a mob they start swearing us up and down. What a bunch of retards.
Throw more taxpayer money at them...
Besides blaming teachers, please check this Austin Weekly News' article out:
AWN
Yes, WOW!!!
Should or shouldn't the creature responsible for bringing some of these monsters into the world YES be responsible to teach them not to lie, steal, cheat, go to bed at a civilized hour, go to school, get a real job where the IRS takes taxes, become a productive citizen of society, don't pull a knife on momma, don't raise your hand in anger, don't join a gang, don't sell weed out the house, don't keep a gun under your pillow, don't get tattoo's at 12, don't get pregnant at 14,
WOW, that's kinda a lot for a parent to do. So, i guess yes its the teachers and polices' job to get all that stuff taught.
Cause after all, its not easy smoking the crack pipe all nite long and then having to do all that stuff for a child society said I could produce, which the US Government ain't paying me enuf to keep, and all I got for the trouble was free housing and a measly link card that can't possibly pay for my life-style or the standard of living I think I should be entitled to.
Being poor has nothing to do with this, being GHETTO has everything to do with this.
Get the GHETTO gone.
Wow ! Find the missing link and catch up with civilized society !!!!
not the sharpest tool in the shed, but with an obvious political agenda that was deflected by the reality of the situation.
politicians are highly paid mouthpieces almost robotic in nature that when short circuited they can only keep repeating themselves nonsensically.
What'chew mean dat stupposed to start at home?? Dats what I pay taxes fo. Teaches is stpposed to teach. Dey should be teachin dem how to be good and shit. Dats what dey paied fo. He don't listen none to me and the po-lice don't do shit when I call dem when he wont do his homework and is disrepectin me. Maybe he should go lives wit his grandma.
DAMN TEACHERS. I ALWAYS KNEW THEY WERE THE PROBLEM.
I am a retired teacher. You spend so much time trying to get kids to listen and behave you are lucky you are able to teach anything. I taught a bilingual kindergarten class and they had a lady come in to teach the kids about their heritage, etc. I told her we learned that from our parents and our church. School was used to teach academics.
You are told to teach the kids to be good citizens, but you can't teach them morals. Your hands are tied so much.
Too many of these kids are being raised by grandmas and aunts. Some of these ladies are up in age and they have a hard time with the kids.
Now sometimes when you get kids that do live with their parents, the parents are gangbangers.
I had a kid in third grade (he failed once) who was arrested for auto theft.
There is so much politics in CPS that its criminal. If you don't get a long with the principal you can get a real crappy class the principal will not back you up. But then again the Police know that.
I think that principals should have to go into a school as a sub without anyone knowing who they are. I'm not talking about one of the magnet schools so they get a taste of what the teachers are going through.
I also feel that the uppity-ups in the Police Department should have to go out on midnights in a district where they are not known and not in white shirts. Get them some old uniform to wear. Let them get a taste of what the real Police have to go through out on the streets.
We need housecleaning from the top down in this city.
The lady is a State Rep. She certainly reflects the community that elected her.
"We Pay...?"
Who's "We?"
The public trough is getting shallower, and shallower, except for the new royalty, elected officials.
What an idiot!!!! And stupid people voted her in?
I wonder who taught Monique Davis to be a stuttering IDIOT?
No teacher could have taught her that!
She must have learned THAT at home. Maybe that's why she's afraid to suggest that ANYTHING should be taught at home! Because you'll only be learning from OTHER IDIOTS!!!
hibbity jibbity = blame the teachers
hibbity jibbity = blame the POleeces
hibbbity jibbity = blame the lack of opportunity

hibbity jibbity = blame the lack of social programs
hibbity jibbity = blame the lack of a total welfare state
hibbity jibbity = blame Jesse Jackson for keeping his millions to himself and not sharing it with his peoples
BT: Shouldn't that be taught at home?
MD: We can say should or shouldn't, but we pay teachers.

Start right there. Right there. WHY is there such a strong resistance in the black community to take responsibility or place it where it belongs.
Last night I was thinking of the sorry shits having that conference: Daley, Jackson, Pfleger, Duncan. When they looked around the room I wonder if it occurred to them that they have been having "summits" like this for thirty years and it keeps getting worse. Isn't it obvious that they are useless? And that THEY have contributed to it by constantly and relentlessly blaming everything and everyone but the people that need to step up? And that is, their parishioners and constituents. Period. End of story.
See how easy that was?
---not a cop
Interesting on the part of the radio host. People are waking up. Days after the Fenger murder every letter to the editor said the same thing---where's the parents and why aren't they raising their children correctly?
Just when I say nothing shocks me anymore.
To the retired teacher:
I'm retired from CPS too. I don't even know what to say, that's how bad it is.
Houlder said it's not a black, white or hispanic problem....well look again.
As far as teachers getting paid(Monique),to instill morals, these parents are getting paid(welfare) by our tax money to take care of their children, but they do not. What parent wouldn't like to get paid for staying home? Perhaps we need to bring back the McGuffy Reader.
The black community just refuses to assimilate and they never will until the so called black leaders start telling it like it is.
There was a 10-1 Wed as school gets out at 103/Halsted. These kids don't learn, and the parents are outside rooting them on. Its like we work in bizarro world.

Someone needs to start videotaping these assholes when they are rooting the honor roll students on to fight, now that would be a wake up call for the lemmings of this city.
Monique Davis is a complete idiot. She's my State Rep. and I live on the same block. This is the woman that keeps kids from the south sububrs and Indiana packing Morgan Park High School and causing havoc over there. But like everything else in Cook Co. she mostly run unopposed.
MD: We can say should or shouldn't, but we pay teachers.
Baby mamma gets paid too. Wic, link, ssi, tax refunds, etc. But she can't be bothered with her kids.
Aa an Honor Roll student at Hess UPC located on Douglas Blvf in North Lawndale, our class was under constant threat of being beaten up by other students.
We couldn't walk the halls so we were confined to two classrooms where they had to cut a door inside the rooms so that once inside, we did not have to go back out into the halls where we would surely be jumped.
After they made our classrooms adjourning, one of our teachers opened the door at the end of class and stated "now I have done all I can to protect you -I suggest you go to the locker, get your things out as fast as you can and get out of there.
As for role models at school- we were paraded around as the kids in the accelerated class probably to let others know they could get good grades too.
Instead we were beat uo and ostracized and the parents of the C and D students told their kids to beat us up and nobody cared.
Rep Davis is absolutely correct, they should have done a better job protecting the students, that is why establishments and schools have SECURITY.
In took global was and terrorism to let people know that SCHOOLS should be secured too.
You owe Rep Davis an apology.
One last comment -it used to irk me to no end and sone of my classmates
Too that our teachers were laughing flirting with each other while we had to run for our lives and figure out how to get from point a to point b in one piece.
We were 12 and 13 year olds.
They trotted us out to show to these monsters and then basically said "you are on your own."
We also knew that if not for us they would not get a paycheck.
It is the teachers fault.
CPS Hires Ex-Cop to Look into Costly Theft
Updated: Thursday, 08 Oct 2009, 8:32 AM CDT
* By Patrick Elwood, FOX Chicago News
Chicago - A FOX Chicago News investigation has found that millions of dollars worth of equipment has been stolen from Chicago Public Schools.
CPS documents show that from January 2006 until August 2009 crooks have been stealing just about anything that isn't nailed down -- computers, TV's, radios, DVD's, lawn mowers snow and leaf blowers, salt spreaders, and fishing equipment.
The biggest target has been computers: $1,943,493 worth of computer equipment was stolen during that period.
The district has hired Michael Shields to be the new safety director. He's a 23-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department
Until we stop paying people to be "breeders", and reward them to be parents this shit will not stop.
John Kass called it right, he called the young murderers "malevolent barbarians." Well put, raised by no one resembling a human being.

Speaking of reflecting the community that elected her, read on:
Once upon a time there was a U S Congressman named Harold Washington who became Mayor of Chicago because Richie Daley thought the Mayors office belonged to him, so he ran and split the white vote.
Washington hand picked Charles Hayes to replace him in Congress. Hayes was a moron who regularly made racially charged statements and accusations. He was even censured by Congress more than once for his behavior. I always wondered how the voters could vote for such a stupid, rude and racist candidate.
Once, he ran against another black candidate who was a Rhodes Scholar and still won! I could not believe that given the opportunity to have an intelligent, young, black, Rhodes Scholar represent them instead of the embarrassing Hayes, that the voters would put this moron back in office.
Then, there was the incident with Hayes and a former Miss Illinois. I don't remember all the particulars except that she was somewhere like Jamaica or something when she heard that Rep. Hayes also happened to be there. As they were both representing Illinois and were so far from home, she thought she should say hello. Hayes, about 40 yrs her senior tried to sexually assault her in the back seat of his limo after he agreed to meet her. When news of this got out, he lost the next election to the aforementioned Rhodes Scholar, but just barely!
I thought, FINALLY, these black voters have wised up and elected a competent representative. That was before THAT GUY, went to jail for having sex with a teenager. Anyone remember Mel Reynolds?
So has this elected office cleaned itself of the stench of corruption that has been endemic of its preceding office holders? Hardly!
The current holder of this office is none other than Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. who is currently under investigation by the Dept. of Justice for trying to buy the Obama Senate seat. A separate Senate Ethics investigation has been put on hold, (probably until JJ Jr lies on Blago to save his own skin).
Talk about the public trough getting shallower, and shallower!!!
ENOUGH! There is no longer any excuse which can be made. This is not a problem caused by anyone other than the black community. They have ineffective leadership and their morals are in the toilet.
No respect for life comes from no respect for authority of any kind, be it teachers or cops. When you get handed things for free and told it's because you have been discriminated against, it leads to a sense of entitlement and a view of self as victim.
The social experiments of the left have quite obviously FAILED. It's time for some real change and a great nanny state isn't what's needed.
Why wasnt the 10-1 on TV? Every News Channel was out there. I guess the news is like their parents, they dont want to see the true thugs that the kids are. The Honor Students at Fenger were throwing crap out the windows, what happen to that footage? Sorry there was a Rev. speaking. Babys Daddy did it. Rev. Jackson is a babies Daddy isnt he? They want coppers to send their kids to Public schools, have a coppers kids High School on the North and Southside. These two Schools alone would bring up Math and reading scores. Let alone win in Athletics.
No beef with scc, but Davis is spot on. CPS teachers are overpaid and underperforming. I wish I could go into work and concoct every horseshit environmental excuse for why I wasn't able to accomplish the most simple functions of my job.
And if you really do believe that these teachers are just SOL to perform their job functions, than why in the hell are we paying for expensive babysitters?
http://www.championnews.net/salaries.php
I should clarify:
The parents suck at parenting. The communities suck at creating a good environment to raise these kids. No doubt. These communities hold the majority of responsibility.
But to give these teachers a free pass is just ridiculous.
Replace all CPS school teachers with Cook County prison guards. That way the children will have life long mentors! Next problem?
Yesterday I drove by Roberto Clemente at 1:30 and again at 3 and counted three cars from 13 and four from 14 parked in front of the school and at the surrounding bus stops.
Got me to wondering if the criminal element has yet caught on to the fact that school let out times are prime for crimes? If that many cars are at one school, how many cars can be left to respond to 911 calls? If I'd driven down Augusta to Welles HS, I bet I would have found another few cars from 13.

WTF? Idiot liberal educators!!!
Robert "Bob" Starks, professor at Northeastern University and columnist for N'Digo stated:
"I am convinced... some element within the U.S. government or establishment actually flooded African American communities, inner city communities with drugs and guns. Since that time, black communities have been utter chaos."
Daley's solution: Put Huberman in charge of CPS. He never taught anything. Typical Chicago B.S.
It always starts at HOME!! What part don't anyone understands?!! Why is it that everyone blames someone else for their faults? Stop blaming the teachers, the police and start where it all started......the home, the mother and....well, the man, if he is man for that matter. Maybe we all should start blaming the state reps and senators for not providing the monies to approach this matter head on. There are answers to this situation.........look around to the mother that said that it only was a fight that "got out of hand"! These same mothers know that their child are in the gangs and yet they do nothing but blame someone else. Yeah....I guess it is easier to blame someone else for your stupidity.
my father works for cps teaching 1-8 graders. he says the kids arent the problem, its the parents who are fucked up. and we've all had that call about the shithead parent going to the school and causing a big "todo" over little willie being verbally reprimanded by the teacher and accusing the teacher of hitting or physical abuse. we all know its bullshit.
if it wernt fer tetchers i wod spel lik dis.
blame teachers? ...SERIOUSLY?...
lets see...i was taught to read/write...by my parents.
i was taught respect and discipline...by my parents.
i was taught to do the best w/ what was given to me...by my parents.
i am the man i am because of my parents...
for anyone to say that children should be taught how to be a civilized "citizen" by an outside source other than family is a moran.
Drop a load of chlorine in that end of the gene pool.
Davis is just another burger flipper way above her ability.
Hey Monique, I for one could care less if the little savages in your district kill each other. Their parents don't care so I won't either.
Funny thing though, the school my kids attend, they don't kill each other, they don't threaten teachers or school staff, they go to school, they bring their books home and read them. All of this was instilled by their parents.
So GFY!
I think it was Channel 7 that put the simple truth up full-screen -- the people doing these killings and beatings are BLACK MALES WHO SKIP SCHOOL 42% OF THE TIME AND ARE EIGHT TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE UNDER DISCIPLINARY SANCTIONS THAN OTHER STUDENTS.
There.
Wanted:
Role models and mentors for gang-banging kids who already don't care or won't listen to anyone except gang-banging rap stars.
Blame the cops
Blame the teachers
Blame the coaches
Blame the government
blame, blame, blame
Why isn't the parent(s) taking responsibility?
Why isn't the kid taking responsibility for their actions?
Why is it ALWAYS somebody else's fault?
Kudos to the reporter for repeating the right question
"BT: Should it be taught at home?
"MD: Of course. We’d love for it to be taught at home. But in most schools, it’s taught in school."
The above utterly mindless exchange helps illustrate that just because the residents of Chicago are mostly bipeds, and in some cases share something resembling a common language, does NOT mean that there is any commonality of understanding or experience.
"Home" is just a noisy place where you grab things to eat and sleep in a pile with TVs blaring and other people running over the pile shouting and fighting -- kind of like jail.
Many Chicagoans are completely unfitted to exist in the dangerous, high-speed, complex, rectilinear environment they find themselves in; the objects around them have little meaning except inasmuch as they can be marked up, broken off, or urinated against -- causing design of everything to the lowest common denominator and a proliferation of "security cameras," etc.
Whole place is turned into a primate house; if you can read the instructions, put money into the machine to subsidize those who can't read and will smash the machine.
Whole lotta people gonna be in trouble if "Atlas Shrugs."

Parents take resposibility? Unfortunately, they ARE the role models for this new generation. We have a recently "relocated family" on our formerly quiet block. Children try to panhandle neighbors while grandma was asking if she could "hold a $20 until the weekend". The 8 schoolage children that live there do not get up to be at the local school at any particular time because the adults (grandma, mom, and a host of uncles) usually don't wake up until noon or later. Social worker at the school has her hands full because this is just one of many families in this category. After school (if they even go), instead of homework it's off to the street to sell bootleg DVDs. The police are at the house frequently because grandma's ex-boyfriend (a convicted felon) just got out of jail and is back trying to "get with her" again. Neighbors have drawn invisible lines and at least for now if those lines are crossed there is one responsible adult there (the brother) that can be reasoned with. However, we are losing the battle; they appear to know a few more families from their old neighborhoods on nearby blocks and soon we will be outnumbered.

This is NOT news folks. CPS theft has been going on since the sixties. And not just from people going INTO the schools to steal but by purchase order. Everybody in the system knows it. And if you remember when Paul Vallas took over he held a news conference with a warehouse behind him full of things that had been purchased by CPS and were awaiting the arrival of the intended recipients. I believe there were even two Ford Explorers. Everything and anything imaginable.
In my neighborhood, every basement was filled with CPS banquet tables, chairs. Depending on your hobby, you could get sewing machines, kilns to fire pottery. Guys who had lake houses, ordered riding lawn mowers. You name it. That's why the city is broke. Periodically someone does a story about it, but nothing has changed.
