Wild Main Street Prairie

It so hard to believe this was a building and will be a building at the corner of High and Main st. Right now it looks like a prairie. The daisies are so cute.

No Chairs Allowed

They have needed this for so long. There was nothing more annoying than going the square or the harbor and not being able to get around row after row of lawn chair when you wanted to see the music. It still works out for the chair people at the harbor because there is plenty of room for chairs on the middle lawn.

Cute Houses in Auburn, NY

We are in Auburn for the weekend seeing one of (e:Terry)'s "friend" Brian's musical. There are so many cute houses in this town. I wonder what it was like here historically that there are so many giant mansions.

Bike Ride To The Outer Harbor

After the square we took a bike ride out to the outer harbor. The weather and views were amazing. I decided to take all of my pics in negative mode.

Birthday Party for My Dad, My Uncle and Libertad

June 12th we celebrated (e:libertad) and my Dad and Uncle's birthday with the family. My mom made melon balls which were delicious.

They looks so crazy in the blowing out the candles pic because this was a re-enactment as everyone forgot to take pics.

Buffalo, NY - F is For Graduation Rate

Even with the graduation rate on the rise, it is still only at 54% ;(

lilho writes at 11:11:31 06/15/12 - Comment #68411: this honestly doesn't surprise me. the issues start at a very young age and students who are failing in 4th grade are unlikely to graduate high school. it has little to do with the amount of money spent on education in most places and more to do with factors such as home life, cultural values, quality of teachers... it's upsetting but the reality is that many teachers leaves education for these reasons. qualified educated people pursue other avenues because teaching often had little incentive... i am going to graduate in december and wondering if i will even bother to enter a classroom of my own. i might be better off, worked way less, and more happy in an office job that will likely pay more and have better benefits. this isn't good news for failing students... but the issues in a classroom go way beyond education and it is sad. i had students who weren't fed at home, how can they focus on school if they aren't getting basic needs met? i just don't think i can take on all of that... i'd rather just volunteer time to a charity than make it my life.

metalpeter writes at 05:36:06 06/14/12 - Comment #68408: -I have a theory on why that is that number....
1. That number is for the city schools not the area of Buffalo and the burbs I wonder what the numbers are of other areas...
2. A lot of the good students have been moved to the burbs or private schools
3. Buffalo has a two Tier System... You have schools like Tech and Honors that you have to get into... Then schools that are kids who aren't good enough students to get into those schools...
---> If you are a good teacher do you want to go to a good school or a bad school... Well a good school so what happens is ... Bad schools get bad teachers.... Students whom could get helped out by better students get dragged down by poor students instead of up.. And the cycle continues....

But see a lot of it starts at home... If you are taught Education is Important and see it at home you will do better in school.. But if mom or dad isn't educated how can they teach you to be.....

How to fix it.......

Maybe make Hutch Tech and City Honors a program and you take those tough classes in your Hood?

Don't cut Music and art classes cause they teach another way to learn?
