my point exactly!

The media was called by the person who turned the kids in. This person fed the media falseRead More information, claiming that the incident was more severe then it was. In the aftermath of the glen cove cheating story, the media was crawling all over town looking to break a scandle. In my opinion, the superintendent did the right thing by issuing a statement. It was a really dumb story to begin with, and it is one thing to alert the school principal about the issue, nothing wrong with that, but to turn around and call the coakaroach media in means that that person was looking to hurt the students and damage the school district. I wonder who would be so calculating, so full of hatred for the schools and administration to stoop to that level? Maybe the answer to that question is really what you are seeking.

Its been publicized by 5 media sources, their is a lot more behind this than a friggen lab that theyRead More shared. Its the evil people in this town who will stoop so low to present this to the admins instead of finding a sound way of handeling it. They fabricated this story 150% more than it needed to be. Were the kids wrong, absolutely, they did their time and it should have been over and used as a lesson for these 12 kids who most of them had never had an issue in school before. BUT NO, the idiots of this district and they know exactly who they are decide to take it further. Its ok, their time will come. Mark my word, their time will come. Karma! (btw- not ONE picture was taken in class... maybe simon could have said that in his statement) SMH. I agree he should have kept his mouth shut but I know that he was trying to protect his people before the media went off of the other idiots allegations.

Yes, I was also really disappointed to see the damage to the sign on Lion's Path. Some people haveRead More no respect.

Is it me? Or does anyone else think that all parties involved should be fired for betraying theRead More trust and adding to the tarnished reputation the West Islip School system and its students by reporting the recent cheating scandal to the media. I mean really, did anyone from the district or school system need to contribute to the story in the media, how about no comment the matter is under review. Why does the BOE allow an overpaid moron like Richard Simon with no public information experience to speak to the media let alone anyone? This matter should have been handled by the School Districts attorney. Good job to the Morons of the BOE and Superintendents office keep letting us tax payers down.

You can thank all these POS politicians for the new gun legislation designed to make law abidingRead More citizens give up their second amendment rights out of sheer frustration and incontinence of owning a gun legally for increases in savage on citizen violence. This is only the beginning and in short time many New Yorker's will be forced to remain in their homes fearing one of these animals will make them their pray. I for one believe in the old adage, it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
