Mask Mandates for Back-to-School in the U.S.………

I honestly, don’t have a CLUE (no really, I’m, totally, CLUELESS here!) how this is an issue in the U.S.?

Masking mandates for back-to-school in the U.S., why, with a huge chunk of “you guys” in the States who are, anti-vaxxers, unlike how people like me, (Asians???) who are, fighting, for, the limited resources of vaccines available to us?, fighting against the mask mandates for your children’s back-to-school learning sessions…

Masking up, it’s NOT for the sakes of taking away your freedom, “children”, it’s for the safety of everybody, because how would I know, that this other kid sitting next to me in class, does or does not have MERS-CoV?  I mean, and you DO realize, how now, there are, the asymptomatic contractions right?  As the virus is still, evolving, WAY ahead of all of us here…

And, these masking mandates in some states, are seen as illegal, uh, how is that possible?  I mean, you would think, that nobody wants to, expose her/himself in danger’s way, and, by going out in the public places (as the bans of not going out is getting lifted, due to how the majority of the states’ populations had already had your vaccinations, save for your, anti-vaxxers out there!), you are, easily exposed, and unless you have one of those, sanitation tunnels set up, leading up into your houses that you need to, walk into, with the spritzing of sanitation fluids (i.e. 99% concentrated alcohol, Clorox, etc., etc., etc. ), to finally, get sanitized before you enter into your homes, there’s, NO sure way, to be absolutely certain, that you didn’t, bring the virus home.

And, yet with the epidemic still high, there are the governments of some states, that are, issuing down the mandates of “no need to wear masks in class or at work”?  You realize, how the virus is, passed along by saliva, by contact with infected individuals’ bodily fluids, right?

So what’s gonna happen if there’s an asymptomatic professor, that spits in your face (not intentionally, of course!), but, as the professor gets too enthusiastic about what s/he is, lecturing on, you never know…………and, you bring that virus home, and, guess what’s gonna, happen?

You do the math there, why don’t ya!

What is Taken Away from Your Education?

Lessons we learned, from school, from our own, experiences in life, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Recently I’d made the speeches at the schools, as the speech ended, a parent led two children to before me.  “Professor, I was your student, do you still remember me?”  This was every instructor’s nightmare, I’d, worked really hard, to think back on all the students, and just, couldn’t, recall her name; but I’d still smiled and told her, “let me think!”, as she’d heard me say this, her smile did not fade, she’s not, disappointed one bit, but her second-grade daughter looked up at her innocently, “Mom, your teacher can’t remember you!”

I felt very awkward after hearing, before I could reply, she’d immediately told her child, “Do you know how many students the professor’s had?  How can she remember every one, but, so long as I remember her!”, then, she’d, started speaking of her middle school careers, that with the problems she’d, faced in life then, how I’d, given her the advices she’d needed, “because you’d, counseled me, teacher, so I will, never forget you, as I saw the flyer on the seminar, I was so excited to come, to thank you.” as she’d told me, I still, can’t quite, remember her, but, I’d felt, very touched by her words.

The following day, a student used the communication app to contact me, this particular student had been, hurt by a certain teacher, he’d come back to me to tell me about what happened, to seek out my counsel, it took me sometime, but I’d, accompanied him, helped him out; back then, I’d, encouraged him: you need to turn what happened to you, into your driving force, if there’s a chance, you must, help those who’d been hurt like you had.  Back then he’d told me, that he will, work hard, to become a teacher who can, help his students.  In his final year of high school, he wrote me that with his grades, there was, NO chance he will ever be a school teacher, so, he was, willing, to become, a serviceman, to fight to protect the country.

And now, many years afterwards, he’d, shared with me everything he’d weathered through in the armed services, and he’d, mentioned what happened to him again back in middle school, and stressed to me, that even though he wasn’t, highly ranked, he will use his past as a teacher, to NEVER make the mistakes his middle school instructor had made.

After I’d read, although I’d felt glad, but, I couldn’t help but feel: that the first woman told me, “so long as I remember you!”.  It symbolized, I don’t’ need your affirmations from your memories, but I will remember, that was, the demands that one made of, one’s own, characters, to never forget to be, thankful.  While the second student, couldn’t forget about the shame, but he’d not, selected, to take revenge, instead, he’d, turned his shame into something he could, learn from, to remind himself, to NEVER shame another like he’d been, shamed.  Think on his, how many people we will meet, how many things we can, encounter, in our, lifetimes!

Who remembered us, it isn’t, that important, what’s important is who we remembered?  Well, it’s, not that important either, the important being WHY we remember who or what we remember?  Those that happened, those whom we remembered, what were their, influenced on us?  From these two students, I saw the choices of attitude, how they’d, chosen to make themselves feel happy, how by choosing to forgive, it’d, given him peace, to use the past as a mirror to reflect, to have a life without regrets, what, will you, choose?

And so, this, is something worth pondering on, what, do you remember when you graduated?  I’m sure, that it’s not the course load, the books, the materials, or even what you’d made on your exams, it’s the experience of learning, of accumulating the knowledge, of the lessons that life teaches us that we will, carry with us from here on out.

The Assistant to the Coach of a Youth Baseball League Molested Over Ten Members of the Team

And no, I still did NOT make this SHIT up, from the Front Page Sections, translated…

There were cases of sexual molestation that occurred in an elementary school and middle school youth baseball team, the eighteen-year-old assistant coach’s rape on a total of ten victims, the detectives, the social services department, as well as the Department of Education set up a specialty squad to investigate in secrecy, after they’d inquired all the students on the team, yesterday, they’d charged Chen, the assistant coach with obstructions to sexual freedom.

“The assistant coach molested me!”, during the middle of March this year, the primary coach of the team asked the students “do you have any comments or questions?”, one of the students raised up his hands, and others followed, and stated, that they were all, sexually molested too, and that, was when the victim students learned, that they were not, the only one who was victimized, the coach believed that this was serious, he’d immediately notified the authorities, and, as the investigations continued, the D.A. and the Department of Education found, that there were, a total of ten children who fell victim.

The victim students told the D.A., that during January and February of this year, at the dormitories of the team, at the assistant coach’s home, in the hotels, Chen the assistant coach had fellated, had anal sex, and, fondled them.  After the case bust open, Chen wrote out a confession, apologizing to his students and the students’ families.

The D.A. found out, that Chen, the assistant coach, because he was an adult, had sexually molested and raped six students, and, after he came of age, he’d forced his students to have sex with him, seven times, and forcefully sexually molested them three time, sexually harassed them twice, the victims were mostly still in elementary school.  As the D.A. went to conduct a search at Chen’s residence, they’d found there was a collection of kiddie porn in his collection from online, and, on the fifth day upon being notified of Chen’s bad behaviors, the D.A. believed that he was at flight risk, and that he may destroy the evidence, asked the courts to take him into custody, which the courts allowed for.

And so, this is a man with priors, and yet, god knows HOW many young victims had there been already, and this time, someone decided to speak up (finally!), and thus, end this losers rape, sexual molestation on the younger children.

The Age of Drug Abuse is Dropping, Now, the Kids in Elementary Schools are Getting Addicted

Drugs are still, infiltrating the campuses, and this time, it’s in the ELEMENTARY schools here, from the Newspapers, translated…

Drug abuse is getting younger and younger.  The members of the Cultural Committee of the Legislative Department yesterday held a conference, to find a solution, with the Department of Education, the Department of Justice, as well as the Sanitary Department AND the Police, to report on the preventions of drugs, the second-in-command of the justice department, Chen pointed out, that the problems with drug abuse is really getting serious, in the juvenile detention halls, most are there, for drugs, and, in the recent five years, the rate is still hiking up, last year, it’d reached 46.3 percent.  The assistant director of the police forces also reported on how they had been able to find over forty-one thousand youths who dealt drugs nationwide.

The legislator, Chen pointed out, that the second-level drug users who were youths had peaked by almost forty-six percent; and the total number of adolescent abusers went from 3,036 to 3,928, an increase of almost thirty-percent.

Because the usages of ketamine, along with other Level three drugs are punished by the administrative ways, and, the abusers were only sent to seminars, and made to pay a fine, and that’s it, and, recent years, there had been a HIKE in the number of young users, in the decade’s time, it’d increased from just thirty-six to six hundred twenty-one, at a rate of 16.25 times; and, the youths had gone from just eighty-four individuals to one thousand one hundred ninety-four, over thirteen times.

The man in charge of the Department of Education, Wu stated, that the schools’ rate of reporting on drug abuse of the students went from 1,559 to 2,432 in two years, but, after 2012, the number dropped, and, in 2014, the number was reduced to just 1,700.  He’d stated, that in 2010, the school had set up a detection program, which made the student users easily found out, and, the people who were reported was on a steady decline too; but, when he’d later answered the press, he’d told, that the ages of cases of reported abuses are on the decline, there were, about ten children in the elementary years who were found, abusing drugs.

Wu also pointed out, that in the student drug abuses, mostly were ketamine users, most incidences happened outside of school, about ninety-two percent, and, the providers of these illegal substances are from outside the school, ninety-eight percent of the times, and, it is, very important now, that they catch, the providers first.

Because of how easily children can get their hands on these stuff, that, is how drug abuse is spreading, very quickly, in the lower years of school, and, the only way to put an end to this, is by raising awareness, of the effects of drug abuse, and, WATCH your young closely.

A School without the Fences…Would We Still Be Safe the Next Time?

Commentaries, translated…

An elementary school was broken in by a stranger man, not only did he managed to beat up the school teacher, he’d also took a male student to the roof of the school.  The police came to help out after they got a call, and managed to subdue the man, and the students, as well as the instructors were all very scared by this event.

This rare-to-come-by incident posed the issue of school safety, in order to help keep the campuses safe, the teachers, as well as the students must have the sense of danger, and they should NOT ignore the signs of danger that easily, in order to ensure the safety of the students, as well as the school instructors.

For now, there’s a lax in the number of security officers at the elementary schools across the city of Taipei, the originally two members of the security officers that were assigned to each of the schools, due to the simplifying plan of personnel by the city governments, there was NO one to fill the posts, and the schools started hiring from the private sectors, causing the varied income problem, and it’d affected how well the schools and the hired security guards worked together.  The government, in order to save the cash, had sacrificed the safety of the schools, it’s really not worth it.

And, recently, the janitors had been reduced in numbers in the schools, for a school with one-thousand students, there were only two janitor, and, the janitors also had to be responsible for the cooking in the kindergarten levels, along with being the correspondences to the government, and, the number of employees is NOT even half of what the schools had hired.

And the schools, in order to make sure the schools worked well, would have the two guards work at the same time frames, and, had one of these security guards help with the paper works at the offices of the schools.

And so, walking around the school to make sure that it’s safe was deeply affected, and there was a HUGE hole in the security, thus, allow the bad guys to squeeze in.

Lastly, in recent years, the schools across the nations had gotten away with the fences, and, a LOT of schools had fought for lowering the fences, or do away with them completely, and used plants as the fences, but, without the fences, the schools would be in danger, of intruders from the outside.

In order to safeguard the safety of the students and the teachers, the educational managers from the cities, along with the school’s executive officials MUST work together.

The school must give education as it becomes necessary, to up the level of awareness of the students and the teachers, and instill the idea of “keeping the schools safe is everybody’s responsibilities”, to keep a close eye on strangers that show up, and to have the students and the teachers report if they see someone who’s awkward in the schools, and must hold safety conferences regularly, along with have drills.

The increase of safety on campuses, other than the schools that must work hard, there’s also a need for care and concerns from the systems, for instance, the funding, and the personnel, to allow the schools to have the extra money to install surveillance cameras, security equipments, and increase manpower on campus, to reduced the spare time where there would be no one there, to keep the schools safe, and this would up the safety of the schools.

And so, we need more guards to keep our schools safe, but, where DOES the funding come from?  Taxes?  We’re already paying a WHOLE lot, and, this article only poses the problem, without giving a viable solution, and, you still have to admit, that school safety IS a very important matter, I mean, after all, who would feel safe, if the kids’ schools can be entered by just about anyone?

The Day Before the Rampage

This, is still the CALM before the storms!!!

On the day before the rampage, the perpetrator (shooter???) went to school, attended her/his classes as s/he had always done, and kept to her/himself as s/he had done, for ever since s/he’d started going to school.

The day before the rampage, nobody noticed anything wrong with the shooter, because the shooter wears her/his mask well, and because of how well s/he covered her/himself up, nobody knew, until the next day they all came to school, and GOT shot!

The day before the rampage, you may feel that chill, because how calm things appeared to be, on the surface, while feeling, that something’s building up, you just don’t know WHAT it could be, because it still hasn’t happened Y-E-T.

The day before the rampage, everybody still went about their business, like they all did, the parents dropped their kids off at school, then, headed off to work, like ANY given workday, and, NONE of them still has a SINGLE clue, of what, was about to happen, the very next day…………

The day before the rampage, that boy who shot a TON of people, was still his antisocial self, and because he’d been antisocial ALL along, ever since he’d started school here, everybody took the day before the rampage as any regular school day.

Unsafe University Campuses

Is there something WRONG with the security on the campus, or, is the school located in a ghetto???  And I’m sure, that the ten percent are the cases that were reported, and, what OF the unreported rape cases???  From the MSNNEWS website, edited by Eric M. Johnson & Eric Walsh…

PORTLAND Ore. – About 10 percent of female University of Oregon students surveyed have been raped while attending the school and the vast majority of those sexual assault cases were never reported to campus officials, school researchers found.

The findings come after the school faced criticism over its handling of an alleged rape involving three basketball players that preceded the resignation of former university president Michael Gottfredson.

University researchers said 35 percent of students – and 14 percent of men – had at least one forcible sexual encounter and about 90 percent of students assaulted never told of the violence.

“We think it’s terrible,” said interim president and provost of the school Scott Coltrane.

He said the findings “reflect the incidence rates that we’re hearing from across the country, so that is not a surprise, but there are pieces there that are alarming,” chiefly the low number of students who report the crimes.

The results come during mounting pressure nationwide by lawmakers, activists and students on universities and colleges to curb sexual assaults on campuses and to reform investigations after allegations are made.

The White House has declared sex crimes to be “epidemic” on U.S. college campuses, with one in five students falling victim to sex assault during their college years.

Coltrane said both outside experts and faculty were evaluating the school’s sexual assault policies and prevention programs. Earlier this month Coltrane said he extended the school’s code of conduct to encompass off-campus behavior in a bid to reduce assaults and punish offenders.

The U.S. Department of Education in May released a list of 55 colleges under investigation to determine whether their handling of sex assaults and harassment violated federal laws.

University of Oregon was not on that list but Jennifer Freyd, a psychology professor who led the study, and other school officials are part of a White House effort to develop a nationwide survey that can be conducted on campuses nationwide, she said.

“If you’ve got a survey that lets you make meaningful comparisons between colleges, then colleges will have a meaningful incentive to reduce the violence that’s being measured,” Freyd said.

The late-summer Web-based survey included 982 students. Freyd said she was hesitant to draw broader conclusions about the campus from her findings because, for example, her respondents were younger, whiter, and more female than the general school population.

And, there are a TON of things to consider, like if the rapist is the star QB of the football team, that led the team to state championship, and in those cases, they’re MORE than likely, to blame the victim, because the schools wanted to keep their reputations up, and that’s just wrong here!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enticed His Students to Go to a Motel, the Male Cooking Instructor Made to Serve His Time

B-A-D teacher, from the Newspapers online, translated…

A certain branch of a Chiayi middle school, back in 2004, a male cooking instructor used the lessons, took a thirteen-year-old female student to two separate motels, to rape, to sexually molest her, then, he’d taken the opportunity that he had, at a local high school, when he’d instructed cooking, to take an adolescent girl to the change room opposite of his cooking class in the high school to sexually molest her.  The girl told her family, and the family sued the male cooking instructor.  Yesterday, the Courts in Chiayi, based his sentence off of one crime one sentence, gave him a total of three years eight months, a year eight months, and nine months, and mandated that he serves four years six months in prison.

The verdict stated, that afterwards, Jiang didn’t show up for his court arraignment, and had an arrest warrant out on him, he was free, until the end of two years ago, when the police picked him up.  The judge took into consideration that he’d had multiple health problems, was fired from teaching, without an income, along with other things, and showed him leniency.

On the afternoon of April 10, 2004, Jiang seduced a thirteen-year-old female student, took her to a motel, and successfully raped her with his fingers, thirteen days later, he’d taken the advantage of his teaching a cooking class in the high school, took the girl into the dressing room, stripped her clothes off, then, sexually molested her.  On the afternoon of November 5^th, he’d taken the girl, to a local motel in Chiayi, then, sexually molested her.

After the incident, the middle school department notified the high school branch, which got Jiang fired, the principal at the school told, that Jiang wasn’t a hired instructor for the school, he was only hired, for the cooking lessons, the school didn’t know that he was going to use the lockers, to molest and rape the young women.

And, to think that this, could’ve been easily avoided with a THOROUGH background check, I mean, I’m sure that this, is NOT the first time that this loser had done something like this, and, firing him is still too lenient a sentence, because what IF, after a few years, when all of this blows over, and nobody remembers this event now, he could still get hired, and be close to the students, then, you’d been sending those sheep, right into the lion’s mouth, wouldn’t you???

When “Fun” Became a Sorry Excuse for Drug Use

And no, I still did NOT just make this one up either, it’s found, on the online newspaper pages, translated…

The police subprecint in Neipu recently discovered four men who used the popular instant messaging program of LINE, along with Facebook, to deal drugs to students, and they’d even held a “party” in a motel too, and, there were fourteen middle school and high school age students who fell victim.

The Neipu subprecinct started chasing the leads, found that four men, Chen, Hsu, Chang, and Lin, took advantage of it being the summer vacation right now, and solicited teens at places like net cafés, shrimp fishing farms, motels, along with other “hot spots” for youths to gather, sold drugs to them, to establish “connections”, then, they’d used the chat programs, to notify the students when there will be a drug party.

The police told, that the four men used the cell phone chat programs as a medium, to notify the teens when there will be a party, without a specific location, and, they’d texted, “Hey, let’s have a party”, as a secret code for the teens to know, that there would be a drug party somewhere, during the party, the four men would prepare ecstasy, along with other illegal substances, to hook the teens.

The police found, that the fourteen students who were caught, were still in school, and couldn’t support themselves economically, some had taken their parents’ money to buy the drugs, some had used their own money saved up from part-timing work, other than a few who had priors, most were first time offenders.  And, after the police questioned them, some of them told the police, “I just wanted to try it, for fun”, and it’d made the parents angry, but some of the parents told the police, “We couldn’t discipline them!”, and, after questioning, everybody IS booked.

And so, this, is how easily they fall, after all, they’re way too young, way too easily impressed, and, they’re at an age where they are needing acceptance the most, and, IF the parents couldn’t control these teens, then, it’ll be up to the law to make sure that the teens are “steered” into the right directions, and sometimes, it still wouldn’t work, because a LOT of those kids are destined for a life of crimes…

 

 

 

 

Someone Criticized Her on Facebook? The High School Aged Girl Called on Someone, to Bully Her Classmate

And yeah, they’re still resorting to V-I-O-L-E-N-C-E here, what the HECK is happening to today’s Y-O-U-T-H, I wonder???  From the Newspapers, translated…

Two nights ago, she’d called on students from other campuses, and asked the victim out to confront, someone had poured hot soup all over his face, unsure if they were a couple from before or not.

In a private institution in Banciao, a second year high school girl, suspected that a guy from the same school criticized her on Facebook, two night ago, she’d asked along others from outside the school, to confront the guy, they’d taken the victim to a dark alley, and poured hot corn chowder all over his face, the student’s parents got so furious and went to the cops, stated, “We wouldn’t dare let our son out of the door now.” Based off of understanding, in their first year of high school, the girl and the boy were in the same class together, they were in different class the following year, people from within the school said, that the two of them were very close, they were very intimate with one another, but they couldn’t tell if they were a couple or not.

Based doff of understand, the female student found that awhile ago, the male student left criticizing statements toward her on Facebook, two nights ago at around ten, she’d called on four to five students from other schools, asked the victim to a fast-food shop to confront, and she’d bought corn chowder beforehand, after the victim was taken into the alleyway, someone splashed the hot soup on his face.

The victim ducked, but the hot soup still spilled on his cheeks and shoulder, there was a slight burn; the victim, after going home, he’d gone to school yesterday still, but, after he’d gotten home, he’d locked himself in his own room, the parents told the police, “My son is afraid!”, after they’d inquired, they’d found out, that he was bullied outside of the school.

The mother of the victim told the police, “that girl called upon kids from other school to pick on my son, they’d hauled him away outside of McDonalds, and bullied him, it’s awful what they did!”, later, the mother asked the school, wanted the female student and her group to apologize to her son, and there was still NO replies on the bully’s part, that, was why she’d gone to the police about it.

Toward this, the school stated, after knowing this event yesterday, the disciplinary office had already gotten into contact with the parents, the girl denied having abused the guy, and the male student said, “I’m okay, it’s fine”.

The police stated, that they’re still looking into the cause of this incident, and they’re NOT ruling out emotional difficulties, and that they are going to ask the students, the parents, along with the disciplinary officials of the school, to talk, to get to the bottom of what had happened.

And so, that, is still how easy they’d CRACKED, and, maybe it’s those TEENAGE hormones, who knows?  And, what the HELL happened to “USE YOUR WORDS”?  And, just because your original lover is distancing her/himself from you for whatever reasons there might be, still doesn’t give you the RIGHT to hurt the person, does it?  Of course NOT, and that, is just how VIOLENT teens are getting these days!!!
