Milpitas High School Teacher Arrested at San Jose Airport

A Milpitas high school teacher was arrested today at Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator.

At a press conference, Mayor Rich Tran said he believes the man is a member of the notorious extremist Al-Gebra movement. Al-Gebra is a terrorist movement headed by Osum Bin Adden, which has reportedly infiltrated American schools. It began at the undergraduate level and has spread to secondary schools, according to US Attorney General John Ashcroft. Favored targets are said to include homomorphics and people living in polynomial relationships. Academics dismiss the Ashcroft’s accusations as pandering to the lowest common denominator of anti-Arab prejudice.

He did not identify the Milpitas high school teacher, who has been charged by the Milpitas Police with carrying weapons of math instruction.

‘Al-Gebra is a problem for us’, the Mayor said. ‘They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.’ They use secret code names like “X” and “Y” and refer to themselves as “unknowns”; but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, “There are three sides to every triangle.”

When asked to comment on the arrest, Mayor Tran said, “If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes.”

Fellow Milpitas Council Members told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by any Milpitas Mayor.

A Milpitas Mom’s Favorite Joke

An Educator Goes to Milpitas

A beautiful, blond educator gets on an airplane and sits down in first class. The stewardess notices her ticket is for the coach section so she approaches the educator and asks her to move back to the coach section.

The educator replies, “I’m educated and I’m beautiful and I’m going to Milpitas.”

The stewardess explains, “That’s fine m’am, but you did not pay for a first class ticket and I need to ask you to move to your assigned seat in the coach section.”

The educator again replies with a big smile, “I’m educated and I’m beautiful and I’m going to Milpitas.”

The stewardess again tries to explain by saying, “I understand, however, someone else is going to need this seat so I need to ask you to please move back to your seat.”

Again, the educator smiles and responds, “I’m educated and I’m beautiful and I’m going to Milpitas.”

Completely frustrated the stewardess goes to the captain and explains the problem.

The captain goes to the first class section, bends over, and whispers something in the educator’s ear. The educator jumps up, runs back, and sits in her assigned seat. The stewardess looks at the captain and asks him what he told the woman.

He replies, “I told her first class doesn’t go to Milpitas.”

I Will Survive, Coronavirus version for teachers going online

Covid Jokes

Lyrics by Michael Bruening

View video here.

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never teach through Canvas all the time
But then I spent so many nights reading the help docs for so long
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

And so I’m back
Students are gone
As all my colleagues try to figure out how they’re gonna get along
I should have kept up with the tech, not skipped that class on course design
If I’d known for just one second I’d be teaching all-online
Go on now, go, leave me alone
I’ve got to figure out
Just how to lecture using Panopto
You gave me two days to adjust, to move everything online
Did you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to Zoom, I know I’ll be alive
Oh, my students still will learn
And my paychecks I will earn, and I’ll survive
I will survive, hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to lay down and die
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my syllabi
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high and you’ll see me
Teaching on zoom
But just don’t cough into the mic or every eye will be on you
I can’t hear you, you’re on mute, your camera’s black, are you still there?
We’ve got some glitches to work out, but I know my grading scheme is fair
Oh now, go, walk out the door
Trying to get this lecture done
And I’m already on take four
Now the network has gone down, and I’m all out of wine
Do you think I’ll crumble
Do you think I’ll lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to zoom, I know I’ll be alive
My students still will learn
And my paychecks I will earn and I’ll survive

On the Revelation of William Bennett’s Gambling Habit

Political Jokes

Political Jokes

by Calvin Trillin

Bill Bennett told a grateful nation,
‘Be moral. Just resist temptation.’
By windbag airing of this thesis,
Bill Bennett got as rich as Croesus.
His preaching sold in wholesale lots,
While he dropped millions at the slots.
But here’s a thought to ease his pains:
He only lost ill-gotten gains

Bad Bet by Bill Bennett
By Michael Kinsley
Washington Post
Bennett has been exposed as a humbug artist who ought to be pelted off the public stage if he lacks the decency to slink quietly away as he is constantly calling on others to do. Although it may be impossible for anyone famous to become permanently discredited in American culture (a Bennett-like point I agree with), Bennett clearly deserves that distinction.

Bill Bennett Said to Be Big Gambler
Former Secretary of Education William J. Bennett, whose books and speeches espousing traditional virtues have made him rich and famous, is a high-stakes casino gambler, according to reports published Friday. LA Times.

Despising Virtue
The reasons Alter and Green went after William F. Bennett are clear: 1. Bennett is a high-profile Republican and supporter of the president; 2. He’s at odds with the National Education Administration (NEA) from his stint as Education Secretary under Ronald Reagan and also for his K12 initiative which seeks to give parents and kids high-tech internet tools to succeed, thus threatening the NEA’s current education monopoly; 3. He was U.S. Drug Czar and articulated boldly against the legalization of drugs; 4. He has promoted heterosexuality and pointed out the danger of the homosexual life; and most recently 5. He has blasted the anti-freedom critics of our war with Iraq with clear, common-sense observations: “Those who march against the U.S. and the U.K. today, those who condemn Bush and Blair and remain silent when it comes to Hussein, are in league with the wolf’s view that the shepherds are destroying liberty.”

William Bennett was simply too rational, too articulate, too moral, for liberals to take. And they blew.

Highlights & Quotes

K12 – About Us
William J. Bennett, along with other leaders who are passionate about education, founded K12 in 1999. The goal was to create an excellent, traditional program in education-one that would empower parents to be effective teachers and empower students to explore the world around them thoughtfully.

Bennett to Offer K-12 Education Over Internet
CNSNews.com
Friday, Dec. 29, 2000
Former U.S. Education Secretary Bill Bennett has begun an online private school for students in kindergarten through the 12th grade.

The school is designed to target a growing market of home-educated children. It has already drawn criticism from the leftist American Federation of Teachers, one of the nation’s largest teacher unions.

Bennett’s school is being financed with $10 million from a group of investors that includes one-time junk bond king Michael Milken. The school will offer the “back to basics” education that Bennett has long espoused, such as phonics, mathematics and civics lessons.

Hey, Let’s Put Those Kids to Work!
Grand pronouncements were the order of the day. Bennett chest-thumped that the school, imaginatively named K12, would enroll 100,000 students by 2005. The media trotted out their own big numbers, with the Wall Street Journal quoting the customary stats on the multi-billion-dollar value of the electronic-learning market ($6.9 billion, to be exact). Bennett’s plan? To score a chunk of that market using home-schooled tykes. According to outlets, ground zero for the school’s marketing will be Christian fundamentalists teaching their wee ones at home – a group warm to Bennett’s own conservative ways. When K12 opens for business next fall – oops, we mean classes – its fees will range from $25 for skill tests to $2,000 for full lesson plans and software for a year, the AP reported. That’s one-third of what public schools spend per pupil, Bennett bragged to reporters. How can it be so cheap? For one thing, there won’t be any pesky teachers to pay. The Journal noted that K12 would do without teachers in the early grades except where required by state laws.

Vote on vouchers a virtual letdown<
The idea of virtual schools attracted momentum in Florida because of pressure on lawmakers to reduce class sizes and nudges from two companies prepared to profit. Bennett discussed the concept in a meeting with Gov. Jeb Bush about two years ago. A K12 executive came to Florida this spring to meet with state Rep. Joe Pickens, R-Palatka, who sees the $4.8-million project as a way for students to expand learning opportunities.

“We’re here from the government, and we’re here to help:”
California Virtual Academy(Using Bill Bennett’s K12 Curriculum)
The presentation looks very interesting until you realize that this is REAL life we’re living. Trying to get it all done (the number of hours they require of a student), while allowing for vacations, occasional time off for “real life,” etc., would be a definite challenge, especially for those who have large families.

Homespun Couple Visit Harvard President

The President of Harvard made a mistake by prejudging people and it cost him dearly.

A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly without an appointment into the president’s outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn’t even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned.

“We want to see the president,” the man said softly.

“He’ll be busy all day,” the secretary snapped.

“We’ll wait,” the lady replied.

For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn’t. The secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even thought it was a chore she always regretted to do.

“Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they’ll leave,” she told him. He sighed in exasperation and nodded.

Someone of his importance obviously didn’t have the time to spend with them. He detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple.

The lady told him, “We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. About a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus.”

The president wasn’t touched he was shocked. “Madam,” he said gruffly, “We can’t put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery.”

“Oh, no,” the lady explained quickly, “We don’t want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard.”

The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, “A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard.”

For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now.

The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, “Is that all is costs to start a University? Why don’t we just start our own?”

Her husband nodded. The president’s face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the University that bears their name, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

Educator At An Accident

“How come you’re late?” asks the principal as the teacher walks in the door of Milpitas High School.

“It was awful,” she explains. “I was walking down Escuela Parkway and there was this terrible accident. A student was lying in the middle of the street; he was thrown from his car. His leg was broken, his skull was fractured, and there was blood everywhere. Thank God I took that first-aid course; all my training came back to me in a minute.”

“What did you do?” asks the principal.

“I sat down and put my head between my knees to keep from fainting!”
