Catch Phrases and Word Salad from a K-6 LAUSD school.

14. the requirement to have a mission statement comes from upper administration. and the idea

of "mission statements" comes from the corporate world. which is where more and more school administrators come from.

which is where the superintendent of lausd comes from: Education deformer John Deasy, Broad Superintendent's Academy 2006, brainchild of education deformer and real estate/insurance magnate Eli Broad.

Previously, Deasy served as deputy director of education for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and before that as superintendent of Prince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland. Before joining Prince George’s County Public Schools, Deasy served as superintendent of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District in California, a district with 12,800 students and 16 schools. During his tenure, Deasy led district-wide reforms in administrator and teacher evaluation models, pay-for-performance, staff development, leadership training, development of a data-driven system for decision-making and implementation of research-based whole school reform initiatives.


You think you're criticising educators, but you're criticising education deformers. LAUSD is in the pocket of the Gates-Broad crowd and has been for some time.


On Thursday, February 9, 2012 two large, angry groups — in separate parts of Los Angeles — protested against LAUSD, for two different reasons. At Miramonte Elementary School, around a hundred angry parents and students protested the transfer of the entire staff — teachers, janitors, everybody — to a new school still under construction, while an entirely new staff was brought in, at a reported cost of $5.7 million. The parents and students complained of the disruptive effects of this radical response to child abuse allegations against two teachers. Meanwhile, outside LAUSD Headquarters at 333 S. Beaudry Avenue in Los Angeles, over two thousand angry teachers and adult students protested the threatened elimination of LAUSD’s adult and career education programs, which serve over 300,000 students.

Both demonstrations protested disruption — one disruption costing the cash-strapped district close to $6 million, the other disruption ostensibly intended to save the district money. Saving money, spending money… maybe they were beside the point. Maybe the real goal was the disruption itself.

It seems ludicrous to even suggest that the superintendent of a large public school system would purposely cause disruption in the school district he or she had been chosen to run. Ludicrous, that is, until one looks into the background of LAUSD Superintendent Dr. John Deasy, a graduate of the Broad Superintendents Academy.
