Joe Budden + Underground Freestyle * Real Issues = Classic

People can talk about Joe Budden all they want. I personally say that every Underground Mixtape he has established has been pure 100% classic. I know Nas talk about "Hip Hop is Dead," but Joe Budden's 2008 freestyle "Who Killed Hip Hop Part1 & 2" is a bonfide classic. I can hear this 10 years from now and will still see what he is talking about. So to all the people who like mainstream artists, this is DEFINITELY NOT for you.

Do you feel Joe Budden on this freestyle? How did you feel about this hip hop song?

The Suite Life of a Teacher of The Year (AKA How Keenon Got Her Groove Back ... and Shafted Too)

(These teachers today are really something serious (and not in a good way). Just last week I gave a feel good post about a teacher retiring after 63 years and now I have to talk about another teacher of the year in a bad light. When will teachers learn that they are the one who mold the generation next to us.)

Now during my time in school, I have had crushes on my teachers (….well just one, the rest of the teachers were seriously not my type. I mean they were old, married, or just plain ugly.) , but I will never would have encountered having a lil fling with my teacher. The two reason is that although I was a teenager, I would have thought that is low and she is thirsty where no man have gave it to her (Note: I started dating older women after high school, not during.) and being a honor roll student in high school 12 out of 13 times with a 3.56 GPA, I would never jeopardize my future of going to a nice college like that. I do thank God that our class never had to encounter that due to the fact that we were country folks and we, as children and adults, have morals. These teachers today are possibly a little older or younger than me. So when I heard this in the news, old or not, I just had to evaluate this the best way I can.

Shiloh High School’s Teacher of the Year resigned last month after she admitted she had been involved in a sexual relationship with a student, Gwinnett County Public Schools officials said Thursday.

Language arts teacher Keenon Aampay Hall, who began working at Shiloh in 2005, submitted her resignation letter April 20, a day after Gwinnett County Public Schools launched an internal investigation into a student’s claim that Hall lowered his grade after he refused to impregnate her, according to documents provided Thursday to the Post. Hall’s letter said she resigned for medical reasons, school district spokesman Jorge Quintana said.

The 18-year-old student said the relationship began in October, when he was 17, and lasted until the day before spring break, the documents show. Hall, however, wrote that the “consenual (sic) relationship” took place from February to March.

In his statement, the student wrote the relationship began in October when he stayed after school to receive extra help from Hall.

“On that day she began touching me on my leg, and then asked me when I was gonna let her molest me,” the student wrote. “I said never and we begun to laugh, then she asked me agin (sic) this time handing me a phone number and asked me to call her.”
The following week, the student wrote, Hall paid for a cab to bring him to a hotel, where they had sex.

…..Okay she lives in Atlanta, you are telling me out of all those guys out there……..

…..Well never mind. Note to guys that live in Atlanta and are single; she really told off on you guys to stoop to a teenager, yet alone a student in her class.

Stories like this one is the reason when my uncle asked me “How come you never moved to Atlanta when some of your hometown people move there;” I just shrug and say “Just did not want to move there.” I wouldn’t know who is worse off the teacher or the student. I have to look at it through both crystal balls.

She will always have that on her record and that is like a serious cloud in the sky. She won’t be going to teach at a prestigious school anytime soon. (Everybody knows once you did something wrong in the school system and it is on the national news, that’s a wrap.)

He could end up being a bum after high school, because for black males, high school and college are so different it doesn’t make sense. That will make her look like she has a lack of taste in men.

She is already looking thirsty so guys are going to pursue her very different.

I hope she can find another teaching job because she seems like she has a promising calling, but stuff like this don’t go away easy.

Who do you think is at fault on this? What are your views on teacher/student relationships whether male or female?

63 Years: The Loyalty of a Teacher

Now anybody knows me on my blog post I rarely post about my hometown because unless it is Vicksburg, Jack-town, Natchez, or any other town that I travel to everyday, there is nothing to post. Well actually Sunday I had something to hit up about my hometown, but the only reason I post it today because of my busy schedule. The thing is it is not about no Negro-Nonsense because we have that almost everyday. I am going to talk about a woman that I know.

….Well I knew she was old, but wow the accomplishment she achieved is beyond “the average educator.”

When Emma Brandon began teaching she earned $36 a month, walked three miles one way to school - seven miles if overnight rain made the creek too swollen to cross - and toted her own lunch of biscuits and syrup.

A lot has changed in the 63 years since. There are computers and standardized tests. Schools have been consolidated and integrated. Principals have come and gone.

Last week, Brandon decided to step out of the classroom for good, becoming one of the hundreds of Mississippi school teachers to retire this summer.

Roughly 800 to 1,000 teachers have retired each year for the last decade, the state Public Employees Retirement System reports.

The average tenure for those teachers is 24 years, said Pete Smith, spokesman for the state Department of Education.

Brandon went into teaching fresh out of high school in 1946. It was her escape from the farming life destined for so many others in her rural community.

Now I have been knowing Mrs. Brandon since I was born, and I am not going to tell you how old I am but let say this, she has more years than how old I am. Mrs. Brandon was always so nice to our class. She was a class act from generation to generation. Come to think about it, let’s recap the things that was going on in 1947

I mean seriously, black people had No chance in h-e-double hockey sticks that an full-fledge African American would be in the White House.

There was no tennis stars in the WTA.

Brown vs The Board of Education was not even mentioned.

Civil Rights was a scary word.

World War II was 2 years done.

Truman was the Prez.

IBM was a younging.

And the Klan was running (see Dixiecrat).

The average teacher tenure is close to 30 years, but Mrs. Brandon has taught men and women, their sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, sons, grandsons, daughters, grand-daughters, great grandsons, great granddaughters, and even a great-great grandson for 63 years.

So to Mrs. Brandon, I tip my hat to you.

Do you think the old-school teachers are the most under-appreciated? How many people have know anyone who have taught for over half a century?

Mrs. Brandon retires after 63 years.

Eff' Hinds Community College

(I always like my post to be PG-13 rated, but today I am going rated R for this post, so if you are not over 18 or if you are at workplace that do not tolerate profanity on your screen and have some snitches nosey people. click here,

P.S. like somebody is really going to do that.)

Anybody that goes to school knows the rules of etiquette for being in class. Even though some people don’t enforce it, there are some that understand and use those rules. When the bell rings and you are walking, you are open to do anything with the exception of dumb-shit (fighting, getting drunk in public, anything literally illegal). So when this happen I was like. What the Fuck!!

I mean, are you serious, this whole-ass instructor barred a young man for saying “That is going to fuck up my entire GPA.” I am serious. What is so disrespectful of saying that? It is not like he just went on a rampage and just starts saying things like the following:

“How the fuck you going give me that grade, bitch!”

“That is some bull-shit.”

“When I re-take this class over and make an A with another, I want you to let know “Tell me how my ass taste.”

“Kiss my ass. I want a do-over you cluster-fuck.”

Now that would have been downright nasty and disrespectful. I also found out that the rule is unconstitutional. Hinds Community College is really on some kiddie shit. I know that it is an institution of high learning, but come don’t people have freedom of speech. This is not high school, THIS IS A COMMUNITY COLLEGE. I just don’t get these institutions with shitty rules.

What do you think about this bullshit? Are these ass-holes taking this rule too far?

Waterboarding In The Schools?

What goes better than teachers getting fired?

…………….How about assistant teachers doing waterboarding on students.

The father of a Smith Elementary School student has filed a simple assault charge against a teacher accusing her of holding his 8-year-old daughter’s head underwater.

Hold up, this gets better. Here is what little Kaylan Owen said what happened.

“I turned on the water to wash my hands and my assistant teacher, Ms. Levy said, ‘Girl, you getting on my nerves.’ She started to put my head under the water and the water kept getting higher and higher. I couldn't breathe and I started coughing and then she held my head up from under the water and she slammed me into the file cabinet and I felt really sad,” Kaylan said.

Betty Levy apologized to Mr. Owen, but what person will dunk a little kid’s head underwater in school for getting out of her seat without permission. Now that is reason people can tag butts in school let alone let your teacher tag your butt. Because of Betty Levy, discipline will never fly in school.

Thanks, Ms. Levy for now letting kids run over teachers. Because of your pure emotions, you just put the school in a bad situation and you are filed a simple assault charges.

Who let these people work for your school?

How do you feel about this?

Dad Says Teacher Held Girl's Head Underwater

Those Who Can't Teach Gets Fired.

I believe the children of our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way

-Whitney Houston's "The Greatest Love of All"

I grew up from a village of teachers. My mother is a teacher and my father was a teacher. I have numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins that are or was teachers. I lived in the school 24/7. I was there when teacher made an impact on children's lives. Now I can tell you I am more of a teacher than some of these teachers. In the town I live in and many others, it is a separation between how you taught and your upbringing. In rich active schools they have boosters, tutors, after school programs, and anything that has a resource while in poor schools they have torn up ceiling, thermostat broke, no computers or computer that are barely running, and little resource to garnish them a sense of them having a higher education. Today, there are people who use teacher as scapegoats to get a paycheck. Everybody should know those types of people; the kinds that do not teach your children anything, and when they get out in the world, they are lost when people outsmart them from.

…….So where am I getting at?

Check this out from Rhode Island and what they did since their teacher are not improving the students.

Seventy-four Rhode Island teachers have been fired from Central Falls High School, as well as 19 staff members, including the principal, USA Today reports.

The elimination of the 93 school employees was validated by the Central Falls High School school board, when it voted 5-2 last night to fire all teachers from the under-performing school.

But that was not all. Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education, said this.

Arne Duncan, President Obama's Secretary of Education, says replacing the teachers is "doing the right thing for kids,'' according to Greg Toppo in USA Today. Duncan will soon release a list of the country's 5,000 lowest performing schools.

Well for people who think getting an education degree and just going to a school to get a paycheck is easy, you better wake up. The reason is that sooner than later this is going to be a trend and teachers are going to have to earn their pay like any other worker. Teachers are supposing to mode the minds of young children. The children are the future and teachers are the one who sharpens the skills of the future generation. I can’t side of who is right and who is wrong because like I said “We all know teachers who are there just to get a paycheck.” Remember the movie “Lean on Me,” with Morgan Freeman based on a true story about Joe Clark. I do. I still remember he lit a fire and replaced people in position they were doing for a while just to get a paycheck. I still do remember when the football coach (Mr. Darnell) was fired as coach not for losing games but for allowing academically ineligible students to play. So to all the teachers, I was going to do a C.Y.N.I.C.A.L viewpoint on this, but the situation that happened here explains it all and should be a wakeup call for many.

Do you think that this is fair? Would this be a wake-up call for teachers’ performance? Do you know teachers like that?
