However as has also been well noted , Mr. Hardy is protected by the sane shield afforded to Linda Lane and others in position of power within PPS. The leaders in this small black community will not speak out against their Black brothers and sisters. They are blanketed by a code of silence and the layers are many. The generations of Black children will continue to be underserved until someone is able to move beyond blood ties and peal away the layers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-49258804305307213.post-79818213222525459462015-02-18T23:40:37.821-05:002015-02-18T23:40:37.821-05:00UPrep will make the hill proud?

By their own parents? My parents would have to be on medication if I tried to get a teaching job in that building, they would be so sick with worry! <br /><br />How are people still sending there children there? Clearly PPS is not going to fix this school. They simply don't care and they know that absolutely NO ONE from inside the school or community is going to call them on it! A reporter was begging to out the place to the public with no response. Yet these ,"boo hoo, poor u prep" stories continue. <br />If it is that unsafe, then any parent who enters should sense that immediately. Who continues to knowingly send their child into such a dangerous environment? <br /><br />Whether is right or wrong for PPS to allow u prep to function as it is, is moot. As long as they can ignore the problem and count on the silence of the community, they could care less.<br /> No parents would talk to the reporter and they continue to send their children into this allegedly, wildly unsafe environment. I just don't get it. By now, how can any parent of a child there not know the reputation? And I would have to think that the patent of any student enrolled there has visited the building at some point. <br />So how do you enter an environment that anyone can sense is immediately dangerous, as is written in these posts, and continue to send your children there, day after day? <br />I'm not agreeing that it is fair or right that anyone should have to move and not be able to use their neighborhood school, because it's not fair or right. But when you child's life is at risk, how does anything take precedence over packing up and moving to a new neighborhood with a safe school ASAP! There should truly be no children left in that building.<br /><br />And before you argue that "I shouldn't have to move for my child to have a safe school" think about what you are saying! You are agreeing and allowing your child's life to be at risk, because you "shouldn't have to do something unfair" Well guess what? That is what parents do! Risk anything, do anything, sacrifice anything to keep their child from knowing any kind of suffering! If more parents thought and behaved that way, the school would be vacant! <br /><br />You can live anywhere you want. You are choosing a dangerous school and choosing to do nothing about it. PPS does not care about your child, they care about PR. But you are the parent, it is your job to keep them safe. Put your child in a safe school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-49258804305307213.post-69401795387683231742015-02-17T17:00:38.466-05:002015-02-17T17:00:38.466-05:00Three questions:
