Blood On The Hands Of Jason Felch And Richard Buddin
There is sadness in education today. Unfortunately, this day was all too inevitable. It had to happen, it had to come to fruition. What is sad it was all too avoidable.
Today, Rigoberto Ruelas killed himself. According to KABC-TV, Ruelas was found dead about 9 a.m. Sunday in the Angeles National Forest, and a teacher ratings report by the Los Angeles Times did not score Ruelas well. Family members said the teacher evaluation scores may have caused him to go missing.
This is too much of a coincidence. A teacher of fourteen years, suddenly the Los Angeles Times decides to hire Dr Richard Buddin and his cockamamie statistical analysis, and decides to paint Ruelas as ineffective without using all the facts. I feel so bad for his family, his friends, his students, his loved ones.
The following should be socially indicted;
There is blood on the Los Angeles Times hands
There is blood on Joel Klein's hands
There is blood on Eli Broads' hands
There is blood on Michelle Rhee's hands
There is blood on The Walton Family's hands
There is blood on Whitney Tilson's hands
There is blood on Eva Moskowitz's hands
There is blood on Oprah's hands
There is blood on Bill Gates' hands
There is blood on Geoffrey Canada's hands
There is blood on Mayor Bloomberg's hands
There is blood on the media's hands
There is blood on Arne Duncan's hands
There is blood on President Obama's hands
There is blood on George W. Bush's hands
There is blood on Gov Christie's hands
There is blood on Al Sharpton's hands
Rest in peace, Mr. Ruelas. The work you did for your students, appreciated or not, made a difference to them. Our thoughts are with the Ruelas family, friends, and Miramonte Elementary.
ReplyDeleteI feel very deep pain in my heart for losing my cousin, Rigo. I last saw you over 10 years ago at our grandmother's funeral. We all commented about how we only see all our family at funerals. I wish our family would see each other more often. I remember playing as kids. It really breaks my heart that now we'll see each other, but at your funeral. Please everyone, reach out to a long lost family member or friend before it's too late. Rest in peace my cousin and friend. You will be sorely missed. : (
