Parents Upset Over School Publicly Posting Failing Students’ Test Scores via The Black Home School According to some of the students and parents of children who are attending schools in the Spring Independent School District, Harris County, Texas, the officials of the schools are trying to embarrass students. The students who get embarrassed are the ones who don’t obtain passing grades. The schools humiliate the students by letting everyone know of their failure, reports My Fox Houston. Reportedly the DeKaney High School, which is part of the Spring ISD, based in the Gordon M. Anderson Leadership Center, put up a full list of students who failed this year’s test in the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). According to one of the mothers of a student at DeKaney, the school district has no right to publicly embarrass students in this fashion, because they should know what kind of emotional stress that would put on the failing students. The mother, who did not want to be named for fear of causing further embarrassment to her daughter, because she is on the failure list, continued that the school showed a marked lack of respect to place the list in such a prominent place, right near the school’s auditorium. The distraught mother continued “it actually outrages me…that even if it was a lapse in judgment on a person who found it necessary to post this that no one else came forward and identified how harmful this could be to those students.” She added that a more respectful way to let students know where to go to retake the exam, if they failed, would have been to use their student ID, instead of their full names. However, Spring ISD, do not believe that they have done anything wrong in posting the results of the TAKS test for all to see and were only following standard procedures to inform students when and where to retake the test. In a statement, Spring ISD said that they followed standard protocol when posting the results of the test and it was never their intention to cause embarrassment or shame. It continued that Spring ISD had not violated the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act by posting the results in a prominent place. However, Gabrielle Culling, a student at DeKaney, said that she believed that posting results of their failure in this manner, would make those students feel rather embarrassed to face up to their friends and make them think that they were not as smart as those who successfully passed the TAKS.

Once again, Micaela Schaefer is showing why she’s my #1 best-dressed nobody of all time: because here she is classing up some party in Berlin by wearing what I’m pretty sure is a swimsuit or something. I assume this must be considered her formal wear for her, considering we usually just see her wearing a pair of black bars . Anyway, after this, now I want to see if Micaela’s available for my next party too. Forget the cake, I’d be just as happy following these chicks’ lead and taking a lick of Micaela’s tasty booty instead. And yes, I promise to share. Yum. » view all 11 photos Photos: WENN.com

I’ve been wanting to write a My Bieber Experience for so long and I’ve finally been blessed to get the chance to do so. My friend Itze and I have been chasing Justin constantly throughout LA, sometimes catching a glimpse, but never in arms length of him. On September 6, 2013, after 4 years of trying, we swore that if we didn’t find him that night we would give up. Sounds harsh, but we had missed him so many times, we thought maybe it wasn’t meant to be. I read an article earlier that day showing Justin leaving a studio off of Sunset Blvd., and since he had been tweeting about working on music the previous nights, we hoped he would be there again. We got there around 9pm and the place was completely empty. There was a strip club across the street, a Burger King on the corner, and creepy men walking back and forth, so thank God we met a couple of beliebers there and weren’t alone. A couple hours went by and around 11pm we began saying goodbye to our new friends, when suddenly a white car zoomed by us bumping some turn up music into the studio driveway. We started dancing but went completely still when a blacked-out Escalade following it slowed down in front of us. After a few seconds it sped into the driveway too. In total, there were 5 of us, and we were confused but it all changed when Justin’s bodyguard came out, looked around, then said, “You guys, come here.” No second thoughts, we just followed this huge stranger into the studio driveway (which I don’t recommend doing any other day lol). He led us to the gate and told us to wait there. We could see the Escalade on the other side and immediately started hyperventilating. He was in the car, we just knew it. Then Justin came out of the car and was walking towards us with his 2 bodyguards, Khalil & someone else who immediately asked for all our phones. Justin walked through the gate to greet us and said, “What’s up guys? Should I leave my hair down like this or put it to the side?” He flipped his hair and no one said anything. I was so scared that it would turn awkward so I said, “It looks perfect either way.” He looked right at me, and said, “Thank you so much.” I was in shock and couldn’t believe I was talking to Justin. Everyone was still quiet and I didn’t know what to do so I stuck my hand out and said, “I’m Kimberly.” He shook my hand and said, “Nice to meet you Kimberly” and everyone else introduced themselves. He was so nice and we all tried really hard to be cool but we were actually shitting ourselves. The guy who took our phones told us right away that he was going to take our pictures in the order he had our phones, so when it was my turn I walked up to Justin and he flipped his hair again and put his arm around me. The guy was struggling to focus my camera since it was dark out (and Justin said he didn’t want flash) so Justin said something like, “Stupid phone” and laughed a little which shows in my picture. I kinda just stared at him after we took the picture then asked for a hug. Again, it was so surreal. Someone called him and we all just stared at him while he was on the phone for a few minutes. Totally weird but when he hung up someone thanked him for everything he’s done for us and said it was the best day of our lives and he smiled and said, “No, it’s the best day of MY life!” and he hugged her and began to walk back to the gate. We knew he had to go back and record and we didn’t want to seem annoying so we just began gushing, “Thank you’s and Goodbye’s.” I was the last person he walked by before getting last the gate and I asked him if we could take one last picture. I had my phone so I tried taking a selfie with him but my hand was actually shaking and I said “Sorry” out loud and he just smiled and touched my phone screen so it would focus. I said thank you again and he walked away and that was it. We actually met him, talked to him and got hugs. I can’t express how thankful I am for him and his humility and the amazing friends I’ve made because of him. If you ever see this Justin, thank you so much. To any other belieber who has never met him, don’t give up. I had been trying to meet him since ‘09 but it finally happened. Keep trying. It is so worth it in the end. -Kimberly @kimbooooly Continue reading here: I’ve been wanting to write a My Bieber Experience for so…
