Many teachers are unmoveable in their negative attitudes towards bathroom privileges for students, and toward just about any other privilege for students. In fact, these teachers are unmoveable in their opposition to the idea that education is the main goal of teaching.
The main goal, they believe, is to teach kids who's in charge.
If Student A does his homework, but gets failing grades on tests, while Student B fails to do his homework, but scores 100% on tests, what will these teachers do?
In many cases, they will give Student A a higher grade than Student B. Student B is likely to drop out. Student A will get a worthless diploma. Is it any wonder our schools are failing?
But these rigid teachers don't just cause problems within their classrooms. They also cause many problems in their schools. One reason is that the teachers union consists largely of just this type of teacher. In some districts, there are innovative teachers who challenge this control, but these districts are rare. My union president boasted to me that her students at Castle Park Elementary in Chula Vista were fond of the saying AVOID BOYD. She thought it was something to be proud of. Needless to say, Gina Boyd supported abusive teachers. During her presidency, four above-average teachers were forced out of Castle Park Elementary in a period of six years.
One thing you can count on the California Teachers Association to do is to back up an abusive teacher, no matter how cruel or incompetent that teacher might be, when a parent or child complains about the teacher.
I hope Michael Patterson's mom (see previous post) will be able to start a discussion and an investigation into bathroom rules at her son's middle school. It's something that should be done at every school. And then the discussion needs to be expanded. Schools shouldn't be havens for Little Ceasars. They should be places where children and education come first.

Good Teacher or Bathroom Bully?
How a teacher handles bathroom privileges tells a lot about a teacher. But asking that a teacher be fired for denying bathroom privileges is like asking that a lawyer be disbarred for--well--refusing to allow a client to go to the bathroom.
This behavior raises a question about whether a professional has adequate respect for those he serves, but it doesn't ANSWER that question.
The science teacher at Charles M. Goethe Middle School in Sacramento, California who earned a spot in the news in April 2007 sounds suspiciously like someone who does not have a handle on classroom management. The mother of student Michael Patterson, with the backing of the local NAACP, is demanding that a teacher be fired for making her son urinate in a bottle in the back of his science classroom rather than allowing him to go to the bathroom.
But before I judge the teacher, I'd like to know what exactly was going on in class when he refused to allow 14-year-old Michael Patterson to go to the bathroom. Was it a once-in-a-lifetime science demonstration? Or was it independent work time?
Many teachers are bathroom bullies. Some of them should be fired, others shouldn't.
Some bathroom-bully teachers are of limited intelligence and even more limited teaching ability and are impossible to rehabilitate. They should be fired. Some teachers are out-and-out racists. They usually reveal themselves as such only in off-guard moments. We must be careful before pinning the racist label on a teacher for a single action, but when a racist teacher is exposed, he or she should be given a chance at rehabilitation, and should be fired only if he or she continues to disobey the laws regarding equal treatment of all.
But there is another group of teachers who are basically good at what they do, and who happen to have a few blind spots.
This second group of bathroom-bully teachers are good enough teachers that they should be allowed to keep their jobs; they simply need some attention from the school administration. Ideally, they would receive professional counseling to help them deal with their demons so they wouldn't bully kids. Most teachers of this type have a handful of students they don't like, and these children are the targets of their abusive tactics. If the teacher can't grow up and behave more maturely toward all the children in his or her care, then there is a another alternative for dealing with the situation. The principal should handle the problem by protecting targeted kids, transferring them to another class or giving the teacher specific instructions on how to show adequate respect to that child.
Bathroom privileges are not at the top of the list of important school issues. At the top of the list should be the teacher's basic respect and fairness toward his or her students, and the teacher's ability to expand the knowledge and understanding of his or her students. Bathroom bullying simply raises a warning flag.

Do we put ourselves at risk when mental health services are cut?
Suicides and homicides by mentally ill people are all too often accompanied by news stories that mention that the ill individual had shortly before come in contact with our mental health care system, but had been sent away because we have resources to treat only the most extreme cases.
I call this deadly penny-pinching. I saw on CNN this morning that more than 1.14 million American households have assets of over $5 million. We are a rich country. There is money to provide basic health services in this country. And the price we pay when we don't pay for basic services can't be measured in money.
Cho Byung Jae, the young man who killed himself and 32 others at Virginia Tech, was another in a long line of severely mentally ill individuals who was released from a mental hospital even though a special justice in Virginia had found him to be dangerous to himself.

How do you identify a dangerous individual?
In the aftermath of the tragic Virginia Tech killings, many people were sure they knew who the shooter was: a young Asian man who had resided in Ambler Hall, and who posted pictures of himself with pieces from his gun collection on his Facebook Webpage.
The people who assumed this young man was guilty were wrong. This was a normal, happy young man who was interested in guns. He was similar to hundreds of thousands of young men and women who go hunting or target shooting, or who join the police or the armed forces. Interest in guns is not itself pathological. Vice President Dick Cheney is clearly fascinated by guns. He uses them for recreation, in a sport somewhat resembling hunting. He buys birds, and has them released in front of him at which time he shoots them. We don't suspect that Cheney is about to commit a mass shooting, or shoot a human being intentionally.

Castle Park Elementary and school shootings
Most school shootings in America are committed by young people, while adults commit most of such crimes in other countries--and there are fewer shootings in other countries.
My explanation is that very few human beings are capable of going to a school and shooting people. In the U.S., quite a few of these unusual individuals are able to get guns when they are young, and they proceed to commit their once-in-a-lifetime crimes. In other countries, these disturbed individuals can't get the guns until they are older, at which time some of them have calmed down and established peaceful lives.
This topic should be discussed openly at Castle Park Elementary in Chula Vista. A disturbed goup of teachers has been struggling for years with an urban legend started by Robin Donlan and her friends, and exacerbated by Cheryl Cox and her lawyers, that someone is going to come to Castle Park Elementary and shoot everybody.
These cynical educators and education lawyers have compromised the mental health of several teachers at Castle Park, resulting in deep paranoia imposed upon earlier mental problems.
Those responsible should try to undo the harm they have done. One principal and one district administrator tried to fix the school, but they went about it in the wrong way. They didn't shine a light on the truth to benefit the hysterical teachers, they just tried to transfer out those who had kept themselves in power by whipping up the staff into a years-long frenzy of anger and fear. (It's a common strategy: to make people afraid by ranting about evil "others" in order to exert control over and loyalty from frightened people, while at the same time carefully covering up the truth.)
In CVESD, the lawyers and teachers union, Chula Vista Educators, have stood in the way of any help for these troubled teachers. Who suffers most when a teacher is crazy? His/her students do--both academically and psychologically.

An Open Letter to David Bejarano, Former Police Chief of San Diego and US Marshall
The following is from Marie Killelea's CVESD Report:
___________________________________
When Patrick Judd interviewed you for the open Chula Vista Elementary School District board position on January 23, 2007, he asked you, “If a board member feels strongly about a matter, BUT HIS/HER POSITION IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE BOARD, how should this trustee conduct him/herself?”
The correct answer was words to the effect of, “I will keep my mouth shut.”
You must have passed with flying colors. Pat Judd and the rest of the board expect you to keep silent when the board commits crimes and other violations of law. In recent years, every single board member has been willing to authorize, aid and abet
CVESD's illegal actions.
But is this an appropriate mode of behavior for a former Police Chief of San Diego and former US Marshall?
No, it’s not. It’s a crime for ANYBODY to authorize, aid and abet any crime. But for a former high-level law enforcement officer, it’s egregious.
Many people with higher political ambitions have joined the CVESD board, including your predecessor, Cheryl Cox. I’m guessing that you are similarly motivated.
May I suggest that you lead the corrupt CVESD board away from its current policy of maintaining a wall of silence and lies, where politics rules at every level, causing bad employees to be given positions of power and good employees to be pushed out, no matter how many laws are violated?
CVESD has behaved like our current US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, whose office tried to turn the US Federal Courts into a Bush political machine. It was a partisan, un-American campaign to bring the federal judiciary under political control. Karl Rove claims to have “lost” thousands of emails regarding this matter. Did he get lessons from CVESD? CVESD appears to have “lost” documents, too. In addition, CVESD forced teachers to commit perjury to cover-up the alteration of documents, and even pressured
law enforcement officers to commit perjury. I would like to see CVESD to come clean and root out the deep corruption created by Pat Judd’s current board majority (with the aid of the teachers union, Chula Vista Educators and CTA) and repair the damage done to children and schools by the current board majority.
For too long, CVESD has placed the rule of law and the wellbeing of children on the back burner. It’s time for a housecleaning and change in focus at CVESD.
By the way, Mr. Bejarano, Patrick Judd didn’t mention illegal actions in his question, so you wouldn’t be breaking your promise to keep silent. Anyone would assume that “a matter” meant “a matter of opinion,” not a violation of the law.

Cheryl Cox plays softball with her friends, and hardball with everyone else
Cheryl Cox has moved from school board to mayor in Chula Vista. She used to suborn perjury to protect her political career. The actual signed documents of one of the perjuries that she caused are at the bottom of this page. Then Cheryl moved up in the world, becoming even more powerful.
Now she can cause even more trouble. A young man who took a couple hours off work to photograph her with her disgraced friend David Malcolm could end up in jail for years. Bonnie Dumanis claims that the young man lied about whether he filled out his leave slip before or after his two-hour leave to go to the twilight yacht party where Cheryl was raising money. Dumanis claims that she wants to restore trust in government, and for that reason she has charged Jason Moore with multiple perjury felonies.
But Bonnie refused to prosecute obstruction of justice committed on behalf of Cheryl Cox's and Chula Vista Elementary School District. Bonnie, this looks like you are trying to curry favor with politicians, not restore trust in government. As long as you look the other way when Cheryl Cox and CVESD spend hundreds of thousands of public dollars covering-up crimes, you won't restore trust in government. You just make it appear that your services are available in exchange for political favors.
Bonnie Dumanis was also friendly with former SDCOE Superintendent Rudy Castruita, who provided the unethical lawyers to Cheryl Cox and CVESD. Rudy put a big photo of Bonnie on the San Diego Office of Education web site--which is funded by tax dollars. Cheryl's law firm, Stutz, Artiano, Shinoff & Holtz was also involved in the recent gift of public money to Laurie Madigan, the wife of developer Mike Madigan.
Apparently, Cheryl and Bonnie both like to intimidate people. Cheryl once called me up, and started by saying, "Maura....This is Dr. Cox."
I knew I was supposed to feel intimidated because she gave herself a title and called me by my first name, but actually I had to struggle to stifle a laugh. Cheryl's doctorate is in education, and I know what it takes to get a doctorate in education. It isn't much. Have you ever heard of anybody flunking out of a graduate school education program? Only if he or she didn't show up. They seldom have to compete against geniuses. In fact, candidates for advanced degrees in education have the lowest GRE scores of all advanced degree candidates. Could that fact be related to the fact that we have a failing school system?
Cheryl approved multiple felonies, the perjury of a law officer among them, in order to hide a few misdemeanors committed by Chula Vista Elementary School District. When I called Cheryl up to talk about them, she refused to discuss it. I did fax documents to her, so she was well informed of what was going on, even if she tried to pretend she was "out of the loop." She just didn't think her crimes mattered. She thinks she is above the law. So does Bonnie Dumanis.
David Bejarano has taken Cheryl's place at CVESD. His wife is the secretary for Assistant Superintendent Susan Fahle, who ignored my public records requests for over a year. Finally, Dennis Doyle responded to my requests. I strongly suspect that Esperanza (Espie) Bejarano knows a lot about what happened at Castle Park Elementary and CVESD. But of course, her husband was handpicked to help the board keep their secrets, wasn't he?
Would voters be SHOCKED to find out that Cheryl Cox spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to cover up crimes and protect her political career? Perhaps, since she campaigned on a platform of CHARACTER and FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. She apparently fooled a lot of people into thinking she was better that Steve Padilla. Actually, Cheryl Cox is a lot worse. She finds it easy to talk the talk of clean government. She just finds it impossible to walk the walk. After all, what's a girl to do when she wants to be mayor? Tell the truth?
