Logging on to the many online educational programs our school has been using for about 4 years used to be pretty tiresome, esp. for small children. For more than a year now, though, logons have been channeled through a single site, Clever.com, where, once they log on with their Google ID, they can get into any program we use without further usernames and passwords.
Today I got an email from a parent complaining that their 2nd grader could only log on to one of the programs. Apparently they have not been using the single sign-on site. After more than a year.

Of my friends during high school, one was an OC sherriff's deputy before moving on to something related. One was a Marine, then an Irwindale cop, then stopped law enforcement b/c of his heart. One retired as a bird col. in the AF, several years past mil. retirement age. And one is a Sono. Co. Sherriff's deputy. And firearms expert. That last one? An airsoft kid made the final mistake of aiming a fake firearm at him.

Visiting Hayward schools to jump to when, hopefully, they kill the clearly abortive bilingual "program" at my school that I have been complaining about for 12 effing years. The nearest school to ours appears to offer Death by Architecture. Windowless office that can be reached only by an open area in front of the parking lot. Classroom doors that open on a windowless wall on an outdoor breezeway. Secluded places that offer voluminous places to hide worse. Railroad track directly on other side of fence. Yuck.

a question on body and posture: i started to notice this thing on pictures of japanese cos-players. in photo after photo, young women dressed as anime characters stood pigeon-toed, feet angled inwards at the toe. this started to bug me. my first idea was that it was a culturally-caused physical expression of submissiveness. I don't think submssiveness is a good thing in general, but when i see in i women across the board in a particular society, it puts up my red flags.
yes, folks: franken- is now a cranmorph. frankenfood. frankestorm. if i want to drive a frankencar, the way is linguistically open to me.

hey, y'all-- you know the cancer/bacon thing is kinda olde news, right? there was a report on this maybe 2 to 4 years ago, calling cured meats "unfit for human consumption". as i recall the NYT carried a report of the report, but my attempts to track down the report from some Belgian outfit fizzled. anyway, some things you only have to tell me once. aaaand now the WHO has it, and we're off to the races.-2015
Another peeve to address my clear deficit thereof: recipes which call for factory-made snack foods as ingredients. For example, casseroles incorporating canned shoestring potatoes.

OK, so the South Atlantic islands inhabited by British people and sheep is the Malvinas. Furthermore, on the advice of an Platonian I met, I recognise that I am no longer American. I don;t know what I am, but American ain;t it. The country to the right of Chile, however, will now be called Platonia. Say I. Deal with it.
Next linguistic challenge: reduplication, or, as I call it, redupe-dupe: often very low register or "baby talk" words that repeat themselves. Low hanging fruit: peepee, poopoo.

Youthful idealism and testosterone have motivated young men to act as if they were members of a military force to great effect in this and the last century. There was the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War. The American flyers who formed the vanguards of the Chinese Air Force as the Flying Tigers and, about a decade later, the Israeli Air Force. There were the somewhat less idealistic killers who made African wars run in the 1960's and 70's. And, you know, there's Daesh. So-called ISIS.

"But in recent times, hackers have been exploring the vulnerabilities of the companies that make up the backbone of the internet... “as if the attack were looking for the exact point of failure.” Think of the mighty Maginot Line, tested again and again by the German Army in 1940, until it found the weak point and rolled into Paris."

Educator at my school has decided that our soccer-mad recess time is not good. Has imposed order. At first I thought this was totally wack. Now I see more kids are active. OK. She told me she has a system to ensure the right ball is used for the right game. Color coding. OK. Then she tells me that she's trying to get it so we have warm colored balls at that side of the yard and cool colored balls at the other side. I wonder at what point OCD becomes, like, a bad thing?

My fb settings were 'public'. that;s why the opinions i have been posting here have been so milquetoaste.
the anglophone bureaucratic system strips kids of their tildes and accents as soon as they are born. as they come into school, they have no idea if their name has a funny mark over the i in rodriguez or not. it is up to us to replace that accent mark, even going so far as to look up popular hispanophone surnames on wikipedia.es to see how they are supposed to look and tell the kid that only they can retain this aspect of their name. so it is not at all helpful that a second grade bilingual teacher _asks_ her kids if they want the accent mark. sorry i went around with a permanent marker correcting their desk name tags. i think we should do everything we can to stop another José from becoming hoe-zay.
Folks ask me: how many languages do you speak? i'd have to say 3 at this point, though i can get around pretty damn' well in francais.

You may not know this, but meetings are why i wake up in the morning. All day in -class- i looked forward to our site-based decision making meeting. Not. As i sat there enraptured by procedure and tactfulness, i heard some sort of powerful prop-engined plane make a fast pass. Happens a lot at a school underneath Hayward Airport final approach.
Then it came again. This happened maybe a dozen times before it was joined by the wop-wop-wop of a Huey's rotors hovering fairly nearby. WTH? Close air support in Hayward? I decided that the meeting could wait. To remain indoors would be to fail my heritage.
Turns out a smallish chunk of our extensive view of the Hayward Hills was now black and edged with red trucks and yellow figures. Above circled 2 surplus navy bombers [P2v's? are those twin-engined?] and an OV-10, a favourite. The Huey squatted in the air about 500 feet above the black spot.
most of the world is just a great, grey mass. interesting things contrasting with the greyness include women, camouflage, warbirds... AND QUINCE!
when i pass people on the street this week, i imagine them with little tags floating above them. some of them say "that man killed that boy and he didn't even get convicted of manslaughter. a black man's death don't mean nothing." and some that say "i am afraid of young black men because of the way i perceive their behaviour in the past, and so did george zimmerman. now i fear them even more."—2013
