Lodi Principal’s Lame attempt to force Welfare Binders on Teens is example of Twisted Priorities

A Lodi Principle has learned that spending $15,000 to impose free welfare binders on high school kids is a bad move. The kids are rejecting his welfare in-mass.

This telling quote is all you need to know about this guy.

Lodi Principal Bill Atterberry on explaining his reasoning for imposing binder welfare on his students;

“The whole concept of having one binder to keep everything in is to help students streamline their learning,” he said.
The idea has been successful in districts in Long Beach, Atterberry added.

“And, guess what? I’m going to do the same thing next year,” he said. “These skills are going to accompany them into college, into their careers.”

And guess what? That kind of blockhead attitude is directly tied to the reason why high school kids become open to rebellious ideas. It starts with school Administration and then it trickles down. The type of administration that they are exposed to is the very type that they will mirror.

but rebellion to common sense is just one of the results of the unfortunate Utopian-isk attitude which is now prevalent in public school leadership. The pattern is the same. Blow money, act self righteous, blow more money on more of your lame Nanny-State ideas, get no results, and then act above reproach, then declare that you would do it all over again - despite the clear failure.

And we should wonder ‘why’ our kids are so open to rebellious societal ideas when schools experiment by imposing foolish welfare-type mandates on them? High School kids are smart. They know when they are being used as test subjects.

This small experiment gone bad at Lodi high is an example of what is referred to as The Nanny-State. A mentality that takes good money and spends it on something that’s not needed simply because some demagogue in leadership feels that it is. Deep down they really believe that common people are too dumb or poor to do the right thing for themselves. but the fatal flaw is that not even all of the combined ideas of The Utopian-isk Nanny Staters can compete with the power of life-skill application. And especially when it comes to teenage children; If you want to teach them how to be organized, Provide training using true life examples.

Nanny-State ideas only kill creativity and breed frustration. Hence the welfare binder toss-o-thon.

All of your Utopian-isk Nanny Stater ideas are a waste of money and they are found to be wanting when measured up to the tangible success that comes from personally Empowering youngsters to be creative and responsible for their own actions. Requiring of them to give of themselves in the pursuit of happiness though work and growth is Principal Bill Atterberry’s job one - but he’s not doing it. he’s too busy running off spending tax money in La La Land.

Keep your Welfare binders and your socialist ideas to yourself, Principal Bill Atterberry. It’s apparent that the kids wont be needing either one of them.
