Weather Report

It has been extremely hot these past 4 days. 90 plus degrees. The real feel has been 100.

Summer College

Summer classes are wrapping up. We had our last face to face class last night. There are some classes I wished would have a few more days or weeks to go because they are just that great. General Psych.
BUT, on the other hand, online accounting,,,,,, What is supposed to be a 16 week class in regular season is 10 weeks for summer. HORRIBLE! The instructor did not reply emails in a timely manor. The accounting program the college adopted was horrible. It took some of us 5 weeks to actually get the understanding of it. We took a few failing grades. The homework took HOURS to complete. Glad I only had 2 classes because I would have dropped others. Just about all my spare time went into this class. Accounting. My major is Paralegal. When the hell will I do accounting?

Other than that, it was a great summer lol

Corruption in the School system

This was last year. Article from the Sussex County Post.

In recent weeks, the Sussex County Post has published two “public service” advertisements paid for by a local taxpayer who is accusing the Indian River School District of financial mismanagement.

Mr. Elder criticizes the district for not providing an explanation or comment on the recent issues involving former Chief Financial Officer Patrick Miller, who was placed on administrative leave in April and retired from the district in June.

Mr. Elder also mentions legal issues regarding Mr. Miller’s previous employment in the Brandywine School District. It should be noted that Mr. Miller was hired by the Indian River School District in September 1998, approximately six weeks before the state auditor’s office began its investigation of Brandywine’s finances. The final auditor’s report was not issued until September 2000 and Mr. Miller’s criminal case was not adjudicated until November 2000, more than two years after he was hired by IRSD.

Furthermore, the ad refers to Mr. Miller as “Superintendent Bunting’s CFO” when, in fact, all district employees, including the superintendent, are hired by the Board of Education, which is the school district’s governing body. Mr. Miller was hired in 1998 under a previous superintendent, administration and Board of Education. He remained on our administrative staff after Dr. Bunting assumed the superintendent’s post in 2006.

Mr. Elder’s ad also alleges a “cover up” of perceived financial mismanagement by the district.

Mr. Elder’s ad also contains the inaccurate statement that the superintendent announced a “$7.3 million shortfall.” 

AND HERE IT IS
Mr. Elder goes on to state that the district has offered no explanation for the “disappearance” of the money. This statement implies that district wasted more than $7 million through financial mismanagement.

Here is my opinion on this matter. Patrick Miller has abused his position in other places. Patrick Miller has yet to be charged for his involvement in all of this and in his previous employment. Reason why is there are people in higher up positions who will be named knowing about this which the newly elected governor would not want those names to be released. Why? Because he is in good with someone who HE appointed.


CROOKED DELAWARE

What is that noise?

News had an article about 2 Dover Delaware people complaining about noise pollution from exhaust to radio. Every day we read or watch about robberies, murders and shootings in Delaware. But the noise is the bigger issue according to these two people. They also interviewed someone who, like me and most people think, noise is the least problem with the part 1 crime rate jumping up in 2016. 2017 has already shown that it may pass last years rate. Some people.

Death Penalty

VA executed an inmate for murdering a deputy and a hospital guard. This happened because 1, he was a criminal and 2, was being transported from the jail to the hospital for reasons that were not mentioned. This was an excuse. This was a plan from the start. A lot of criminals when arrested try to pull this stunt thinking they will get away with their crimes. He over powered and killed the guard, escaped and during the man hunt the following day, killed the deputy.

His lawyer said "his crimes were the result a severe mental illness that prevented him from distinguishing between delusions and reality."

BULLSHIT. Next execution please.

Accounting on-line in 10 weeks should be illegal. What is supposed to be 16 weeks is crammed in 10 for the summer class. The Cengage program the college uses for this, should also be illegal.

General Psych class is going great. I missed 1 question so far on the exams. Matching. Was 5 questions so I either did not fill in one or put 2 answers for the same question. There goes my 100%.... Damn

Current Events and News

Watching and reading the news is depressing anymore. If you have watched or read last weeks news, you can pretty much bet this week will be the same, just different names, dates, times and locations. Some might be the same who knows anymore.

1. A bicyclist died after being struck by a vehicle. Not really sure of the facts in that case but I almost hit a bicyclist two days ago. I was entering the highway and looking to my left for oncoming vehicles, I proceeded to accelerate but last second, I noticed an elderly man on a 3 wheel bicycle approaching me in my lane, the merge lane. He was riding against traffic, the wrong side. Bicyclist want respect and for vehicle drivers to be aware of them  but do not want to follow the rules of the road. 

2. Few robberies in Dover, DE. 

3. The governor wants to raise the personal income tax and cut millions of dollars. He also doesn't want to work with the republicans. It is a 1 way street with that guy.

4. Man was shot in Seaford, DE at 12:30 am on a week day.

5. Double shooting in Dover. 1 was killed. Pine Grove Apts. 

Nothing but CRIME. It is one after another. I do not see 1 positive article on WBOC. Delaware, what the heck!?!?!?!
