When I was in 5th grade,at Century Park Elementary.  We had 8 teachers in a year. Also,I am Jewish we shut down not only the elementary  school we shut down the whole district during the Jewish holidays in the beginning  the school year for two weeks.in the fifth grade class we were the misfits and class clowns. We would sit in our chairs rocking them back and forth. The teacher would sit us in the corner with our chairs facing away from the blackboard as soon as the teacher would write something down,on the chalkboard we would be back at our location faced forward doing it all over again.During the 5th grade the Principal  wanted to put me back a grade,because my grades were not good enough to pass to the 6th grade, but my parents would not let me go back a grade,so they  told then Principal I will get tutored outside of the school grounds and that was that. The last teacher during December when the Christmas and Hanukah Season came around. We had a display of decorations inside the classroom. There were more Hanukah decorations than Christmas decorations. That’s because their were mostly Jewish students than Christian students in the classroom,in the district,She knew which students to make happy or she might loose her job. Back in the day,Parent teacher association met something. Today, they mean less,even  complaining to school board means less, and going to Principal,discussing your concerns about how the school is being run certain  outside activities,discussing how certain athletic Coach are working,and treating student athletes without giving them the respect  or discriminating against them.Everybody looks the other way,afraid to looks into to see if something is not right.The parent is always right. The taxpayer pay for everybodys salary  from the school board member,The Principal salary,teacher salary on down. We the people need to be heard not ignored.I am so passionate about this situation going through elementary school,high school ,it shapes your life who you are today,tommorow,for your life what ever endeavor in life,you try to accomplish.I know ,it shape my life to this day, It made me what I am today.

At work, you get a verbal warning to something your boss thinks you did wrong,not for you, to do again.If you doing it again.You can get a  written warning slip. If you get three of the same written warnings slips disciplinary action can happen.You have to follow this line of protocol . If you do not follow protocol a judge will throw out the case.  Next, if you get three individual right ups on different subjects,each right up counts as one each.There is a statue of limitations on each write up,usually3 months.Then the company has to take it off your record.Do not sign the front of the warning slip. Write your side of the story on back of warning slip or on separate sheet of paper.When you go in front of the judge,he sees two sides of story.He has to make a judgement. Anyone can win or loose,when a judge makes a decision.Warning slips,Emails are legal documents so every line,dates,signature,time, spelled words,explaination in a sentence  has to be right on the situation or  the warning slip or Email is know good.I am not attorney nor shop steward. I am going on experience.The experience comes belonging to a Union. The Union I had belong to was U.F.C.W. United Food and Commercial Union,770. The President is Ricardo Icaza.They teached us about labor law,reading the contract and when they went to court,how the cases.turned out good or bad and how we can protect ourselves in the workplace against the management.Everybody has to stick together and stick up for one another. If you have a Union rep. or a shop steward who will not stand up for you,get rid of him or her. In Union situation,your dues is paying for him or her to represent you,get another one. So do not be afraid of standing up for your rights in the workplace or in court.

It’s going to be a great fourth of July. I am going to be with my girlfriend,at her place. I will be with her family and with her grand kids. I will eating all kinds of great food and drinking Cooks Champagne (from Costco). She will  be drinking her favorite drink,the French Connection. This drink”, though there is no definite history, it is probably called as French Connection because of it’s ingredients being originated from different countries with Cognac being from France and  Amaretto  being from Italy. But hey who cares about history,when cocktail tastes so smooth and royal with aromatic notes of almond, perfect after dinner drink.”When it gets dark,we will be enjoying settisetti the fireworks. I wishing everybody a great Fourth of July.
