Mud Slinging The Evil Hoon Teacher

It was wonderful to see the ignorance of "lay Australia" and the media plastered on a few blogs last week. I was quite entertained:

ROD WILLIAMSON
Rod said: Get rid of this clown. We don't need to train up more idiots. We have enough now.

Rod I'm assuming Rod Williamson, the principal who put the vague slander forward, after I had left the school.

Well Rod, accusing someone falsely of taking drugs is a serious offence, like you fabricated in the minutes and your witness statement. Even your breach of process, in not reporting such serious incidents to the police (despite being lies) shows your incompetence. Its "hoon principals" like you who should be in jail, for trying to destroy the lives of good people who serve the public well. Whose hard earned tax money would probably be better spent on a principal who actually cares and takes responsibility for their failures, rather than pinning them on a defenceless, graduate- new to your school, who you forced to do over 70 hours a week (which you didn't even, care to notice), way above the legal award. You're the man HotRod. Misrepresenting, infact not even being aware of a teacher's contributions. Then without investigation, making serious allegations, that put them out of work for 3 years, in the prime of their life. Good one HotRod. When VASSP and ROTARY kick you out, as you deserve, I'll pray for you. But until then, you're just un-Australian, not a tall poppy or blade of grass, but a desperate weed.

Shelby said: Let me see if I have this correct - tailgating a SCHOOLBUS, doing burnouts in a SCHOOL carpark, swearing at kids in his classroom, leaving the kids unsupervised AND letting the kids do dangerous things (ie standing on tables)... and he thinks he is being treated unfairly because he was suspended... What is his IQ? 60? He should be grateful he didn't receive a life ban!

Have never actually done a burnout in my life I don't think. Actually this is not true. I accidentally did a "burnout" around the fountain in front of Buckingham Palace a number of years ago. The tread on my tires wasn't that great. There were a bunch of us Christian folks in London. Didn't realise this was a restricted area (well there were no signs). We quickly discovered otherwise and in the rush to get out, Alf's car skidded- eesh, one of the soldiers there was not happy. The only incident where I have done a semi- doughnut was at another school, where my car slipped on some gravel, turning sharply. It was never out of control, if that's hooning, I suggest that principal GM, do some research. She might also need to adjust her perception of reality, or do some refresher PD in psychology, her area. Maybe I could teach her my cognitive model, that would explain her misperception of things, from a "try hard pedanditicism," compensating and distracting from ineffectual management in a confused role fixation.

There are a lot of seat warmers in the principal class on $100,000+ salaries. Sorry i don't actually swear Shelby, except in some poetry for effect and on the odd occasion in the house. From memory it wasn't yelling at kids, and it was definitely said in the context of a kids misbehavior, and what a Tafe teacher would tell him, as I have been told before, "they'll tell you to fuck off." It was worse when I was in the Army Reserves. I suggest you integrate with wider society to understand the cultural normailty of swearing in Australia, or maybe watch some American Tv so prevalent here since uncle Johnny tried to make us a suburb of the US. Until then please defend Christian boys like myself, who actually try not to swear. I'm actually renowned for my substitutes, like the very retro "fruit !" or my uncle Andy's "b;looming," or "shite" is also a pretty good substitute swear word.

As for tailgating this "witness" (to his own deceitful mind) isn't credible, he lied, simple. The conditions, even the law disagree with him. He didn't even know what tailgating was, yet he accused me of it- this is just base bullying and ignorance. Its also a reflection on the quality of Carmel White and her team in Conduct and Ethics at DEECD, the principals and VIT. I mean if you don't know something, don't make out you do. This is inappropriate for a teacher (certainly below VIT graduate level registration). Maybe this teacher needs to go back to primary school, or maybe a compromise like driving school. The police should probably take his license away, because he clearly couldn't be a safe driver, if he doesn't know what tailgating is. Shock horror, maybe he's the "hoon hypocrite," tut tut !

ANDREW BOLT
Andrew Bolt said: For those who don't know Andrew Bolt is an infamous, right wing journalist, renowned for backing the big man, economic rationalism and white collar bigotry. Well he just titled his article against me, "A Teacher Who Should Stay Sacked." I didn't even bother responding, in any depth to his plain ignorance. I just wrote a brief note back to him, which he failed to publish- poor gutless Andrew, its been hard for "righties" since Obama got in and Howard got the flick:

Mr Bolt have you ever considered doing some real journalism and getting my side of the story. Are you that pathetic, biased and imbalanced ? Have you ever considered that alf hickey might be innocent ? Or are you, like dumdum drill man, just wanting to create alarm and let these corrupt principals, who did not deal with really serious issues, like employing unqualified teachers to do woodwork, get away with it. Yeah that's right, I was blackmailed and also threatened, because I was going to expose it publicly ! Why don't you stop your reckless irresponsible hoon mouth, like some toddler imaging he's in a ferrari on his tricycle ? No principals are always right. But yeah we've forgotten that right wing bozos like you went out of fashion with President Bush ! (alf hickey)

Was reading Andrew Bolt's article, "Rorting Data is Hell, Nino. I found it curious that he emphasises the following quote (page 34, Herald Sun, Novemeber 25):

What they reveal is perhaps the greatest scientific scandal of our time - a conspiracy by warmist scientists to fudge statistics, sack sceptical scientists, block the release of data to prevent checking, illegally destroy data, deceive reporters, censor sceptical papers, and hide errors in their work.

These are all traits that "hoon mouth Bolt" has displayed in my case. I don't think his judgment or claims should be trusted at all, he's a bit of a hypocrite here. But I suppose right wingers might be analogous to "Pharisees on steroids."

BB: With teachers like that no wonder kids have no respect for others.

Well this one is just silly. What happened in the school was 2 students, probably urged this way by another teacher or coordinator, threatened me in class and tried to essentially destroy this through verbal attacks, walking out frequently (despite being pulled up), not abiding with instructions, not listening to demonstrations and most seriously a "death threat."

This kid wasn't censured by the coordinator or principal. When I said, this must be revealed publicly, I was threatened with disciplinary action. You can't let kids get away that stuff. (Especially when I was just a graduate teacher in their books). Now this child has been taught that, he can get away with anything. If he becomes a criminal, as his behavior is pointing to, he could probably safely blame ex-principal Rod Williamson. Good on ya Rod.

BB, sorry your ignorance is a symptom of not just irresponsible media but a reckless principal too. Never mind, while our kids suffer at the hands of negligent and incompetent principals, despite their undeserved accolades. At least you can feel happy trying to lynch the evil hoon teacher. Good on ya BB, just go through with the lynching for real, would ya ?

While I don't swear generally, principal Tony Jacobs does, as did my mentor, publicly, frequently, in class. It actually draws respect from students for him BB. Even in supposed minutes of a meeting he is quoted as swearing by Harry Ruff another principal. But the hypocrite, in his lying has no shame in forwarding an allegation that I said "fuck off" to a class, despite no incident report ever coming from me, which the principals by admission say is against school policy. But this was overlooked at VIT as irrelevant, maybe because this ethical body is unethical. I mean nothing new with that DEECD conduct and Ethics is renowned for its unethical behavior, seen in many cases where they just get it wrong, when the clear facts don't add up. Despite my appeals no investigations were put forward.

Bruce: Maybe we got one who says it like it is... you would have to be a nutter to teach now days anyway. You friggin keep it up son..screw the toffs.

This one's cool. I agree there is a sense of pretence and "that side of the Yarra" in this one. This also suggests that the Herald Sun might have gone white collar, never ! Its funny when the mineral folk, like many of those in the Pilbarra, those who probably keep the country afloat, our core for now, make statements like this. Maybe he's right, I tell it how it is. My poetry is a bit like that. What if these registration bodies and the department of education, are a pack of Toffs, or tossers, out of touch with reality. I mean the determination shows this. The principals are just taken for what they say, despite so many problems with their testimony. It could very well be a reflection of the "dead wood" in schools, rising into our education authorities. I mean the barrister is called "Mr White," the head of Conduct and Ethics is "carmel White." Is that a reflection of the Menzies White Australia policy or something. I wonder if they live on that side of the Yarra. Only thing is all the yuppie students I ever hang out with swear endlessly. I was often excluded, for being the linguistically conservative Christian boy. I mean this did change in the army reserve. But I still hold that swearing is not the Jesus way, despite some vulgarity in the bible from God, eg. Isaiah, going nude for three years.
