like the sound of a one armed man clapping....

You know what truly sucks... 

the Clark County School District's budget is being butchered and the only press CCSD get's is usually pretty crappy and pretty much deserved. As in banning tax paying citizens from district board meeting's which is "supposed" to be public, due to a dislike of those tax paying citizens opinions and which also included banning CCSD student's who have come to speak and have their opinions heard. With very little mention about how we are being sized down like a company when our job's are critical to not just us bet the education of the children. While higher education get's unlimited press in the free "alternative" press (LV Weekly, Citylife) including  the RJ as well, for their financial woes. Which truly is sad as higher ed will be losing whole departments. Which will most likely affect future attendance to UNLV but also displaces professors and some students.

There hasn't been a cost of living pay increase in "years" and that truly hurt's us support staff, i.e. Campus Security, Teacher's Aids, Custodial, Office Staff, etc... Most of us, not all but most are only 9 month employee's. 

School District: "Have a great summer!" 
Support Staff: "Umm... What do we do for work for 3 months? How will we live??? 
School District: "I SAID HAVE A GREAT GOD DAMN SUMMER! SEE YOU IN 3 MOTHS IF YOU STILL WAN'T A JOB!!! 
Support Staff: "......o.k." 

Zero support staff union support... sorry it's not really a union.

Or the fact that the casino's are still in the plus column financially (not as much as the usual... obviously) and do almost "nothing" to help the very citizen's that run their day to day operations by helping with "any kind of funding" to graduate their children into intelligent adult's who can strengthen our local economy. Business won't come because they don't wan't to hire moron's... think about it? Would you?

So basically we are just getting shat on... over an over again... (catch that Sandovall? You Brilliant Butcher of Sin City) 

and then... 

this  stupid ugly bitch.. 


forces a "Special Need's Child", meaning self contained, usually children with down's syndrome, Low functioning autistic's, etc... to hit himself not once but 8 times in the face. Makes my blood boil... I would never wish harm on a woman but I would gladly see this "animal" get hit in the face as many times  as needed... because this is no woman. Thanks! You horrible, sadistic, sick, stupid... sub human.... I could go on forever.

don't help bring much sympathy for the 200 or so teachers and support staff that will be misplaced or "let go".. Doesn't really encourage the voting/taxpaying public to beg for a tax increase to support our dying education that is just mirroring our dying bright lit city... Just another notch on the prison wall waiting for the hangman's noose. I mean it... moron's like this are helping destroy any chance of the CCSD getting any help or support from anybody. Any time one of these idiots touches a kid, or hurt's a kid... it makes the public hate the CCSD and it affects everybody.. not just adult's... but it affects the kid's 100%. I have been in the district for the last 9 years or so... it's getting worse folks.  We need more employees and better resources and the chance of getting that... well, Hell ain't getting any colder is it folks?

May God help us all..
