jobulator

by no job mae

Jan 13, 2010

Until jobulator, I subbed 3 to 4 days a week. I tried the trial version and went from 15 to 20 days a month working to 5 to 8 days a month. There is something wrong with jobulator. Even with jobulator, I still had to sit in front of my screen because jobulator did not contact me with jobs as aesop did. There is something wrong with jobulator.

bob roblem is that jobs in my district are taken within 5-10 seconds of posting. If I used jobulator and went to another part of the house, it is useless. I would still be a slave to the computer. I use a utility to refesh my screen and "search again". My fingers were getting cramps clicking my mouse from 4AM-7AM every 3 seconds.

Bethany Lamb lease add me to that list, also. I am an unemployed college graduate who has been searching for jobs tirelessly and seem to always find that there are too many fish in the pond. Any leads would be very helpful! -Bethany- [email removed]

Charter with no mgmt. company

by el. teacher

Jan 29, 2010

Hi there,

Our staff today was informed that our charter school is going independent... I guess things did not work out with the management company so now the school is managing themselves. Has anyone else had this happen? Is there real possibility here or is it a death sentence for the school? I hope it turns out to be a good idea... those...See More

National 2010 Youth Contest

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

Across America, young people are thinking and talking about equality. From the environmental justice movement to the trial of the Jena 6 â€“ young people continue to come out in force, speaking their minds and making their voices heard on the issues they believe in. The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is interested in hearing what todayâ€™s youth have to say about the question, â€œWhat does equality mean to you?â€ To that end, NCRCR seeks your assistance in reaching out to young people to let them know about our exciting essay and visual media contest.

In 1951, thirteen parents filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of their children, calling for their school district in Topeka, Kansas to reverse its policy of racial segregation. This landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), established that "in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place," making it illegal to segregate students on the basis of race. Brown v. Board was a milestone, helping to lay the groundwork for major victories in court, on the streets, and in the halls of Congress. Within a decade, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning discrimination in employment practices and public accommodations and soon afterward passed laws restoring and protecting voting rights and prohibiting racial discrimination in housing.

The concept of legal equality - the principle under which each person or group is subject to the same laws â€“ remains a cornerstone of American life. Through legal and legislative battles over race, gender, orientation, the environment, health, education, age, housing, immigration, and disability issues, the struggle for equality continues. NCRCR invites young people between the ages of 14 and 18, to answer the question, â€œWhat does equality mean to you?â€ Participants can enter the contest in one of two ways â€“ by sending an essay of no more than 750 words or submitting a visual media entry, such as an original photograph, drawing, or cartoon. Please contact NCRCR at [email removed].

We appreciate your support and assistance in distributing information about this contest to students.

Many thanks,

Naoma Nagahawatte The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights __

The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is a non-partisan movement working to ensure that our courts protect and preserve equal justice, fairness, and opportunity. We achieve these goals through raising awareness, outreach, and building alliances. Recognizing how little information about the status of civil rights in the courts is reaching people across the country, NCRCR is focusing on public education and outreach, finding ways to get the message out about the impact of court rulings on our neighborhoods, our schools, our opportunities and our rights.
