All you have to do is google this woman's name, Dr. Valerie Rao and you will see one negative story after another on her. She apparently has been around for years and you could spend the good part of a day reading the complaints about her. Trust me, she is not part of the "good ole boy" network.

30 years is not long enough. For someone to beat their mother with a hammer only means they are capable of far more if and when giving the chance.
DCF warns of summer camps without background checks

What this boils down to is money. It costs to have background checks, fingerprinting done. Spending money to ensure the safety of our kids is the least of these people's concern. There is a huge market for summer camp, especially the age group that aged out of traditional day care. These are the most vulnerable kids, yet there are not many affordable options for summer. There fore the need brings about some that focus on the most money possible regardless of the back ground/character of the care providers. When there is desperation there are those that will exploit it. DCF can only patrol so many of these programs. DCF is so over its head with just the "normal" daily work load, that this "temporary" situation adds to their already over load dealing with the problems this city has protecting children. And a problem it is. Only God knows what will happen each day. I pray for the kids and for those that are on the front lines of this mess "adults" put the kids in.
Duval County says its teachers need more training

I concur with "Frankinjax." There have been many problems within the system for quite sometime. From our experience the major problem is the lack of parental involvement. We got to know each of child's teachers and were among the few parents involved in the yearly class activities. Although from kindergarten on we recognized that many parents did nothing to prepare their kids nor did they get involved unless there was a problem. Then these same ones would argue with the teacher about the student's failure, behavior, generally due to the lack of parental positive influence/involvement. Most of the teachers are dedicated and work hard to teach kids. I cannot see what more training for them could possibly do when the teachers are dealing with more problem behaviors from students and parents. Are they going to be able to discipline the kids? Are the parents going to be required to take some type of parental training? The past few decades have produced generations of ill prepared "parents. Until there is some type of mandatory involvement from parents/guardians our teachers will burn out and where will that get the next generation of citizens. In this era of political correctness, the lack of facing the truth of particular communities has been dragging down the school system. As I gave seen posted elsewhere~it is a reflection on our society when pro ball players, actors, random "celebrities" have incomes far exceeding that of those that are responsible to educate our kids. I pray for our educators, for more "parents" to take their role more seriously. Looking forward to what the next school year brings.

"When officers arrived they were unable to locate the man in the area. Two teens in the back of the victim’s car were treated for cuts. doctors still need to confirm if it was a shark." Are we confused? I thought this was a story about an attack with an ax. EDIT-EDIT-EDIT!!!!

Want to know about the realities of being a teacher or educator in Florida. Let me tell you. First, you will be grossly underpaid. Teachers and Educators in Florida make 60% lower wages than the national average for the same position in other states. Retirement became a joke when Scott robbed the pension plans. You will be expected to use your personal car for school business with a below standard compensation. If there are not materials to teach your class, you will be expected to buy them out of pocket, and maybe get some compensation later. You will be required to out up with rude and unruly children who know they can "get away with it" AND RUDE PARENTS blaming you for their spawn's bad behavior. And if you go to administration to complain, you get branded as a troublemaker. Why would anyone choose to be a teacher anymore?

Nothing surprises me in this "good ole boy" city, and state. A redneck, sexist, unsanitary, trash talking medical examiner who writes her own rules seems about right for this area. She will hold this position until she becomes the specimen being dissected on the slab in the lab. Of course she has no comments. Cowards usually do what they do in the dark. But inevitably - one day- it will come to light.
