Good day all. Over the last 50 years, we have seen the rise of the “Professional Educators.” These are people who spent their entire lives either in school as students, or teaching in them. Far to many of them think that they are smarter than everyone else and that they know what’s best for the children.
As we’ve been seeing of late, that isn’t always the case. For instance, we have the ever so useful “Zero Tolerance” policy. This is where a child points a finger at someone and goes bang. He, or she, is promptly arrested, cuffed, dragged off to jail and expelled.
Then we have the case where a school superintendent decided to just crash through a door and start searching the home of one of the students in his district. Did he have a police officer with him? Was there a court order involved? You are joking, right? Here are some of the details from Fox News:
A Massachusetts school superintendent is facing an investigation by police after he allegedly forced his way into a home Tuesday morning to search for proof a student enrolled in his district lived there.
Massachusetts. I should have known. Most of these “Professional Educators” don’t have the common sense to come in out of the rain, but Massachusetts has a gaggle of morons working for the government. Well, it looks like this twit is going to have some serious issues. The family called the cops.
Police in Mashpee told the Cape Cod Times they intend to probe claims that Brian Hyde, superintendent of the Mashpee school district, barged into a home without permission in an effort to determine whether 17-year-old Isabel King lived there. The incident followed district officials questioning of the girl’s eligibility to attend Mashpee High School, after her family had moved away for a year before returning.
Hyde demanded to “see if she lives here,” Marilyn King said, quoting the superintendent as also saying, “I need to see where is her bedroom. And I want to see the clothes.”
As I mentioned before, this is Massachusetts. If this had happened in a different state, such as New Hampshire or Texas, they would be removing this moron in a body bag. Now the reason for Obergruppenführer Hyde’s home invasion was simple. He wanted to verify that the student was actually a resident of Mashpee.
Now having students pretend they are from the school district is a problem in Massachusetts, however there are many other ways to verify a students residency. The confusion over this young lady’s place of residence is simple, as described by her mother.
Marilyn King and a nurse who was at the home on an insurance call said Hyde went upstairs and they could hear him opening and closing drawers. King told the paper she and her daughter moved to Florida last November after the mother got divorced, but had returned and been in the process of buying the home. She said she tried since late May to re-enroll her daughter, but was told she could not while they were living with a friend and purchasing the home.
Which makes some sense. Not a lot, but some.
King said she tried to get her daughter back into the school last week, by sending her to classes with a copy of the signed contract for the new home and also stressing that Isabel’s adoptive stepfather maintains a residence in Mashpee.
A singed contract, called a Purchase and Sale Agreement basically tells people that “Yes, I’m buying that house and I’ve started paying for it.” In fact, it appears that supplying a purchase and sale contract is proof that you are a resident. In the original article in the Cape Cod Times:
Sandwich schools Superintendent C. Richard Canfield said Sandwich sends a school resource officer to homes when schools have a real concern about residency status. But he said Sandwich schools do accept purchase-and-sale agreements as proof of residency, along with monitoring to make sure the closings go through.
Which makes what Hyde did not just wrong, but illegal. In fact, it looks like Hyde will be getting fitted for a pair of metal bracelets soon.
Mashpee Police Chief Scott Carline told the newspaper he expected to begin an investigation soon. “I don’t have a criminal complaint yet, although I do anticipate one,” Carline said. “We’ll do a full and thorough investigation as to what happened.”
Good. This jerk needs to learn that the laws apply to everyone including over-educated idiots with delusions of competence.
Thatisall
