Our new friend DUmmy DonRedwood is back with another lame bouncy.
Now he teaches at the only public school in America without a school lunch program.
He spends a few bucks on snacks, but has to put it on a credit card until the first paycheck of the school year.
This is the same DUmmy who was bragging yesterday about living next door to a rich family with multiple Porsches and Mercedes.

$71.12 That's how much I spent on food for my classroom today.
Peanut butter, bread, bananas, oranges, apples, nutri grain bars, granola bars, two boxes of cereal, oatmeal packets... I'm hoping it will last at least two months.
I wonder how many other teachers across America just spent a good chunk of their grocery money this month on other people's children.
But we all face the same dilema...how do you sit and eat your own lunch when you know some of your students don't have enough to eat?

27. No check here since June too. OUCH!!
I put the food on my credit card :0( with the rationale that I will skip lunch.
I shamed my supervisor into letting me get new crayons in my room this year. My district gives each room a small budget buy I have a BIG class (almost double ALL the other special ed rooms) and I get the same amount of money as rooms with less than half the number of students I have.
I have to buy all the kleenex, sanitizer, diapers, cleaning supplies out of that small amount. Last year the district even took the money to clean the rugs in my room out of my classroom budget.
I am making almost 100% of my own curriculum as well. No library in my school.

10. A lot of teachers I know do similar things
I worked on a car belonging to a teacher the other day from one of the poorer districts, his only transportation. It was 25 years old and rattling along on borrowed time (barely), ready for the junkyard - we put two used tires on it and fixed an alignment issue...

Here's a response from a DUmmy who relies on the school lunch program and the Boys/Girls Club, but has enough spare money to donate to DU.

4. +1000!!!
I can;t believe you have to do this ...what about free lunch programs? are there kids that are not getting that help?
Honestly, I don;t know what I'd do without the lunch program, my kids literally eat me out of house & home during summer...thanks god they can also get lunch at the Boys & Girls Club in summer... How horrible that food insecurity is so rampant in our country
I guess it is a priority thing; DU, then the kids.
edited to add: This DUmmy has a donor star

Bullshit, Don. Utter, complete, fabricated bullshit. The Department of Education spends $13 billion a year (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/04/opinion/sunday/school-lunches-and-the-food-industry.html?pagewanted=all) on food.
Fool <---------> Money

What a ****ing liar. Most school districts ONLY pay teachers in 12 payments a year. When my sister was a new teacher, she taught summer school every year and SAVED that money...

I interviewed with the school system in Christian County, KY (Hopkinsville) and was offered two payment plans... a paycheck every month that school was in session (9 months) or to have my wages distributed over the entire year.
If someone works for the school and doesn't get a paycheck for 90 days, it's because they asked for it.
-
The school system here is the largest expense the city spends money on. 40% of the county's budget goes to the school. Police, fire, and EMS combined don't get that kind of cash.
They're not hurting for money.

$$$PAYDAY$$$
We just payed bills, we're broke. We went to President Obama's website and we made a donation.
Not a big one. Our money is so tight it squeaks when we open our wallets. I know we are all broke and worried about finances. That is part of their plan, break the middle class and the Democrats lose all of their grassroots funding.
So, broke or not, your donation is essential. Even if it is $3 or $5. Our power lies in the fact that my $20 donation is added to your $5 donation and their $8 donation and those other donations of $3 and $10 and $100.
Give up a coffee or a soda or a beer or a joint or a tanning visit or a donut or something that you can give up and consider contributing.
I know some people can't contribute money but you will contribute in your own way. (Make a sign and go nail it to a telephone pole or go phonebanking). But those of who can spare a few bucks should.
Probably now, on payday, is probably a good day to do it.
Or don't and let a couple of RW billionaires by our election.

not much but i'm giving up my lunch money for the month
I'm on a diet anyway.
My partner is going to do something similar--but not sure what he is giving up--probably fancy downtown coffee drinks. (kidding--he's house decaf...but even that adds up)
If you're going for DU cred, don't spin a story about poor hungry kids eight days after you got paid ( payed :lmao: ) and spent most of your cash on DUmmy donations. It looks kinda well MADE UP. Plus every school has free breakfast, free lunch, free snacks. It's been like that for over 25 years. We had FREE fruit snacks during the day back in the stone age. :-)
And he claims he lives around the rich ? He lie.

Yeah. :whatever:

Claims to be a schoolteacher, but he "payed" bills.
Don't forget, this is the DUmpmonkey who yesterday wanted to hit his rich neighbor with a shovel - the neighbor who always has a new Porsche or Mercedes.
Quite a diverse neighborhood, wouldn't you say?
-
Maybe the rich neighbor with the Porsche is slumming it so he can save money and get ahead, a concept that doesn't show up on Don's radar.
-
That really doesn't add up, unless he lives in some strange community where the poor live next to the rich. The more likely answer being that people over at DU are gullible/stupid enough to believe what he posts.

Yes.
He never did say what model Porsche the neighbor was driving. You can get a 944 Turbo on Craigslist for a few thousand dollars.

STRIKE! Obama's Chicago In Chaos As Teachers Walk Out On Needy Kids
President Barack Obama's home town is in chaos as the Chicago Teachers Union has declared a strike starting Monday for the first time in 25 years, defying Obama's former chief of staff, now Chicago mayor, Rahm Emanuel.
Breitbart (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/09/10/Strike-Obama-s-Hometown-in-Chaos-as-Teachers-Walk-Out-on-Needy-Kids?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+BigGovernment+%28Big+Government%29)

Oh my.
Another example of the selfishness of unions, wanting to satisfy themselves and not caring how them going on strike harms those who use their services.
-
I wonder if teacher Don is a member of the teacher's union.
This could get interesting.

Oh now.
Give up a coffee or a soda or a beer or a joint.....
What primitive's going to give that up, for any reason?
-
A handful of DUmmies mention the Federal school lunch program, but he never addresses that. He just wants the sob story, and the slobbering groveling that the DUmmies do for him. It's pathetic.
Starry Messenger has to pipe up and lecture him about the sodium content in those nutrigrain bars. :lmao: These people are such a pain in the ass.

On the rare occasion the DUmmies do something charitable they run to DU and whine about doing so.

As far as I know, peanut butter has been banned by every school because of peanut allergies.
Bread, bananas, oranges, apples won't last 2 months.
BTW, my ex DIL worked at one of the poorest rated poorest schools in Louisiana and she never bought any food for her class. She wasn't allowed to bring anything, including candy. The school district didn't want lawsuits.

A peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread costs 53 cents (http://cockeyed.com/inside/sandwich/sandwiches01.shtml) to make. Those kids aren't going hungry because of money.
Liberal family values. Good job, liberals.

I'll bet his school is prohibited from holding bake sales to raise funds for the chess club because FDA doesn't approve.

Excellent point, Shadeaux. And the spoilage of all this stuff, he says it's supposed to last them 2 months? (Makes it sound like one of those shipwreck survivor movies). The DUmbass doesn't think about continuity when he's composing his stories, does he? But what was really sickening was the behavior of the other DUmbasses. They swallow anything you care to throw at them, and they always, always, weep.
wow
I don't know what to say.
My wife just looked over at me tearing up.
She's reading your post now.

Yes indeed. So much for that bouncy.

The DUmmies can spin the stories all they want but this new starve obesity, starve the kids is ALL Michelle Obama. ALL OF IT.
The new school year brings the implementation of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which was signed into law in 2010. The Act gives the USDA the power to set nutritional standards for all food sold in schools and it is aimed to provide healthy options and fight childhood obesity.
Parents are complaining of kids coming home hungry, kids not getting enough to eat.
They are told if they have any complaints with Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act should call their legislators.
More guidelines are expected.
-
Maybe DUmmy DonRedwood is like the late, unlamented, misspelled DUmmy hippywife.
She always took trinkets to her nursing home job, forcing the old folks to buy if they wanted dinner or help in the bathroom.
I don't recall where the DUmmy said he was giving snacks to the schoolkids for free.
What's a fair price for a month-old banana?

According to my friend on a local school board "because of the Obama school nutrition mandates every child must take 1 cup of fresh fruit and 1 cup of fresh vegetables in order for the meal to be reimbursable to the food service company."
This means the kids are going to get served food to eat, if the kids are not getting enough to eat it is because they are not eating it. I am not agreeing with the mandate just pointing out there is no reason for a student going home hungry other than making a choice of not eating.

The one thousand mark was significant at the Old DUmp, because all your posts would show "1000+ posts", and confer some measure of DUmp cred.
At the New DUmp, exact post counts are shown.
Now anyone under 10,000 posts is always suspected of being a decent and civilized person.
-
One mother complained 2 chicken nuggets and 5 fries weren't enough for her high school son.
The school district increased the nugget count by 1. :whatever:
I found a lunch picture. I don't know what age group it's for, it was one posted on the government site.
(http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i348/the_precious1/b27749fe.jpg)
The guidelines say you can pack your own lunch but cannot buy a lunch and bring any extra from home. It's either or.
Guidelines suggest you pack what's on the government site if you do bring your own. LOL, it's only a matter of time before the lunch bag shakedowns happen.
BTW, lunch prices increased by .25 for less food but it's healthier. ::)

I am making almost 100% of my own curriculum as well. No library in my school.
Oh FF’s sake, do they not have “supply lists†that are sent out prior to school?
Each year the list is ever-increasing to include items for the teacher and the classroom….the lists I received this year included a PLETHORA of items that obviously were to supplement the class as a whole, and the teacher specifically.
Some of the items from this year’s lists (in addition to the folder/notebook/filler paper for my child): 3 boxes of pencils, Crayons, Jumbo Markers, two packs each of black and red correcting pens, 10 highlighters, two packages of green felt-tip marking pens (had to be felt-tip, not ball point), 12-pack of Dry Erase Markers with an eraser, multiple sizes of Ziplock bags, Boxes of tissues, and “as much hand sanitizer as possibleâ€. It was unbelievable the amount of items that were for the “class as a wholeâ€.
So don’t give me that “had to shame my supervisor into getting a box of crayons†BS. My guess would be that some (if not a good majority) of those parents, much like myself, supplied MORE than enough to cover all the children in the class, for any necessary supplies that are needed.
Also...I pack my kids' lunch every day. Imagine my surprise when I got the handout sent home that strongly encourages me to follow Moochelle's ideas for a healthy lunch. It doesn't just apply to the items supplied by the school...I am supposed to follow it as well, in the lunch i pack and send with them to school. ::)

RE: Shadeaux's lunch picture.
My main meal and caloric intake for the day is lunch. I eat like a bird for breakfast and dinner, but I can pack away a good lunch, always have. If you gave that to me, I'd be starving by 2:00, and thinking of nothing else.
This is panicky-bathing-suit-season food.
I sense a black market a-brewing.
-
What kind of lunch is that? Preschool? If someone gave me half a sandwich for lunch, I'd be pissed.
-
My sister has a high school grandchild so I asked her about the lunches.
She was told that lunch pictured is only one of the choices and the portions served at the high school and middle school will be substantially less than before, and yes the schools will be charging more.
The kids used to be able to get seconds, anyone wanting more for free, after everyone was served if there was food left but were told the government said they couldn't do that anymore.
Can you buy a second lunch ? No.
She also told me the school menus have been taken down from the school site. So you get what you get.
This is from her hometown school. Others may vary.
-
We get lists for things our kids need, and I believe some of it is for the class as well.
At the beginning of every school year, the local TV stations (and I believe the regional grocery chain down here, HEB) hold a school supply drive for those kids whose parents can't afford the supplies.
Oh, and our kids have lunch accounts. We can add money, and they can buy food to supplement their lunches from home we pack, or their whole lunches (and extra food if they are really hungry.)
-

I would bet big $ that since this is a government job, probably someone makes a whole sandwich cuts it in half and throws the other half away before making the next one.
-
Yes, we too get THE LIST and it includes community goods. This is the first year in six that I decided not to buy any tissues or hand sanitizer. I will send tissues the first day my kid goes in with a runny nose, and I am boycotting the hand sanitizer entirely. The stuff dries out the skin, and the filthy little bastards think they no longer have to use soap and water with all the hand sanitizer around.... then they come home with dirty paws covered in a day's worth of snot, peanut butter and paste. Disgusting.

We are of an age that now we have great-grandchildren in school. What you said about lists is true . Each school year we contact the teachers of whatever school age kids are related to us and tell that teacher to keep us informed as to what supplies are needed in the classroom as the year progresses, and we will make an effort to ensure those supplies are available. We know of many grandparents in this area who do the same thing for the offspring of their offspring. I call BS on the responses in DUDOnRedmond's thread, but I do wonder why he/she/Pat has diapers on the list of supplies he/she/Pat buys.

Not only "payed" bills, but I don't think he/she/Pat is really a teacher.
About this time last year--or maybe it was two years ago about this time--one of the primitives starring here in the DUmpster was some squishy "gay" guy ostensibly from Portland, Oregon or thereabouts, who got all upset and bent out of shape that his comments were all over the internet, and ran away from Skins's island.
I forget his name; a fat short blubbery little guy.
And by the way, what does "Pat" mean in your comments when referring to primitive gender?

Some years ago, "Pat" was a recurring character on Saturday Night Live. Pat was a short-haired, effeminate, male-dressed character with a gender non-specific name. No one knew if Pat was male or female, and was too embarrassed to ask, so they kept looking for clues. Every male clue would be offset by a female clue.

I haven't heard that one yet. They can take that list and shove it. I pack my kids lunch every day because the school lunches are disgusting, and *I* will decide what goes into it.

And by the way, what does "Pat" mean in your comments when referring to primitive gender?
Pat was a character on Saturday Night Live in a running skit where other characters were unable to tell what gender Pat was. This was around the early to mid 1990s, and an unsuccessful movie was made based on this skit.
I use he/she/Pat because screen names often give no clue as to gender, and with the current trend to have a seemingly unending string of sexual orientation preferences (L, G, T, B, Q, I, etc), it is easier to lump all the others (other than male/female) into the 'catch-all' "Pat"
Link to a Wikipedia article re "Pat" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_(Saturday_Night_Live) who was, coincidentally, a fat short blubbery little guy.

We have to be careful about allegations of "wallduding" here, given the paranoia of the primitives.
The primitives think we're nasty enough people as it is--although I have no idea why.
Anyway, walldude was wallduded by someone from our old home, before conservativecave was founded. I dunno if that individual is a member here or not; I forget the name.
So we can't take credit for that one.
And cali was wallduded by one of her own, a fellow primitive; the DUmpster just covered it as it unfolded. If you recall, our esteemed colleague notaDUmmie had posted an innocuous campfire from Skins's island here, and it was just as much a surprise to decent and civilized people, as it was to dear cali, what came after.
So we can't take credit for that one.
I dunno what happened with the snotput primitive; he lied a lot--as usual for a primitive--and I'm not sure if he was actually a teacher and actually had to move from Portland to Seattle because he was "exposed."
Primitives make up a lot of stuff.
This should be a lesson to primitives lurking here. There is no reason for paranoia. We are decent and civilized people. There is no reason for paranoia. We play by the rules, sticking within boundaries. There is no reason for paranoia. There is no reason for paranoia. There is no reason for paranoia. There is no reason for paranoia.

Pat was a character on Saturday Night Live in a running skit where other characters were unable to tell what gender Pat was. This was around the early to mid 1990s, and an unsuccessful movie was made based on this skit.
I use he/she/Pat because screen names often give no clue as to gender, and with the current trend to have a seemingly unending string of sexual orientation preferences (L, G, T, B, Q, I, etc), it is easier to lump all the others (other than male/female) into the 'catch-all' "Pat"
Link to a Wikipedia article re "Pat" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_(Saturday_Night_Live) who was, coincidentally, a fat short blubbery little guy.
Since I don't do television--can't hear--that's why I was confused.

As an aside, what is your tally on possible wallduded primitives?
Right now, only cali, walldude (possibly Snoutport) stick out in my mind, but I know there has been more that I am forgetting.
I think the drunkard Will Pitt's mother, DUmmy Raven, wallduded herself up there in Rindge, NH, where virtually the entire population, save DUmmy Raven, is on the town payroll.
I believe there is another, but I cannot remember who it is.

Well, the DUmpster, or rather his good friends, did a pretty good job of helping Omaha Steve in his political campaign, but I'm not sure if that would be considered a "wallduding," because probably the biggest effect www.electstevedawes.com had was good-humoredly and light-heartedly messing with the big guy's brain, rather than influencing the voters of Ward I in Bellevue.

However, if the Omaha Weeper loses his job at the police department due to his online comments, would he be counted then?

I wouldn't count it to our credit, unless it could be shown that someone from here actually contacted the police there.
It'd be just as likely the big guy's big mouth "online comments" might be observed and passed on by someone not a member here.
Of course, that same individual might've noticed the big guy's comments here, too.
But at any rate, it's all good, no matter who gets the credit, because the primitives have to learn that while our society has freedom of speech, speech does have consequences (good or bad). The primitives just can't seem to grasp that.
The DUmpster however's doing a good job of trying to teach them that.

Some years ago, "Pat" was a recurring character on Saturday Night Live. Pat was a short-haired, effeminate, male-dressed character with a gender non-specific name. No one knew if Pat was male or female, and was too embarrassed to ask, so they kept looking for clues. Every male clue would be offset by a female clue.
Who played Pat, anyways?

It was Julia Sweeney.
That lunch pictured up there pissed me off. Lunch is important to me, being my main meal. I went to OpenCongress to see how my D congresscreep voted. He voted aye. I wrote him a note:
RE: The Healthy and Hunger Free Kids act you voted for. The kids are starving, and not getting enough to eat. Once more, government overreach and control freakishness. I saw what a typical lunch would be, half a sandwich, an apple, a few carrot sticks. Looks to be about 180 calories, starvation diet stuff. The fat kids are getting the same as the thin kids. One-size-fits-all federal mandates assume everybody is identical. They're not.
Who knew the democrats would be the party of hungry children?

Karin, perhaps you should jot something to the local papers (and see if they print it).

Ya' know, some things just piss me the hell off beyond words.
This is one of them.
More about the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act (http://cnsnews.com/news/article/mrs-obama-s-back-school-message-exciting-changes-cafeteria):
It also, for the first time, gives the federal government the authority to regulate the food sold at local schools, including in vending machines.
During the signing ceremony for the law, Mrs. Obama said the federal government has a responsibility for what children eat at school. “When our kids spend so much of their time each day in school, and when many children get up to half their daily calories from school meals, it’s clear that we as a nation have a responsibility to meet as well,†she said.
“We can’t just leave it up to the parents,†Mrs. Obama said.
“The school day just got healthier!†the Let’s Move! blog post explains. “This year, the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act will be implemented in schools across the country to improve the meals that 32 million children eat each day.
The blog details that the healthy choices will include “More whole grains, fruits, and vegetables; low-fat milk dairy products; and less sodium and fat.â€
The new school breakfast and lunch meal standards will also include portion sizes, “the right portion†depending on the grade. Under the law, schools can be reimbursed an additional 6 cents for each lunch they serve “in accordance with the new standards,†according to the posting.
Ummmmm, EXCUSE me? :censored:
