Academia Semillas, a Failing School, Escapes Closure
At LAUSD, big friends help
Marcos Aguilar was dressed in what can only be described as a pretty good Halloween costume of an Aztec warrior, and he had come to the Los Angeles Unified School District board meeting last week ready for battle.
ILLUSTRATION BY FRED NOLAND
"All the noisemakers have to stay out," a policeman told Aguilar, who sighed and unclipped the rattles on his ankles.
"You can't take that in, either," said the cop, pointing to Aguilar's ceremonial staff, a hatchet-sized stick with an eagle's head.
Aguilar runs Academia Semillas del Pueblo, two El Sereno charter schools that emphasize the indigenous culture of the Aztecs and teach students the Aztecs' language, Nahuatl, spoken by about 1.5 million people in Mexico.
The charter division of Superintendent John Deasy's office had recommended that the charter for Semillas' elementary school — comprising 300 kids from kindergarten through eighth grade — be yanked. Deasy's staff's 42-page report cited "low, fluctuating student achievement" and a failure to meet even minimum standards required by the state — or minimum benchmarks set by LAUSD in 2007.
The troubled school earned a bottomed-out 1 in the 2010-11 California state "similar schools" rankings based on a scale of 1-10, meaning Semillas is far worse than most of California's other, similarly poor, heavily Latino schools.
Under state law, charter schools can't operate failing programs. Academia Semillas seemed on its way out.
Then something peculiar happened.
"The board members, they're all political people," says Rev. Alice Callaghan, who runs the Skid Row charter school Jardin de la Infancia, a successful, back-to-basics school that teaches first and second grade in one of L.A.'s roughest areas. "Time after time," Callaghan says, "the board caves — and authorizes bad schools."
Aguilar brought an army with him to the LAUSD board vote — 100 or so schoolchildren, complete with missing baby teeth and signs reading, "Save Our School."
LAUSD School Board President Monica Garcia, whose election district includes Academia Semillas, is a friend and ally of Aguilar's. Garcia made an impassioned plea for leniency, arguing that LAUSD should "figure out how to evaluate schools like this one that are, from a traditional lens, lacking."
Semillas is trying something different, Garcia argued, so, "We need to take a risk in this model."
Former state senator Gloria Romero, the state director of Democrats for Education Reform, which fights education practices that churn out low-achieving children, was surprised to see Garcia so openly go against Deasy.
"As president of the board, it sends a message that each board member has the OK to overrule the superintendent when it comes to a school in your own [election] district," Romero says. "That kind of parochialism leads to a dysfunctional school district."
Last week, you could feel the parochialism spreading. School board member Marguerite LaMotte pointed out that Semillas' Academic Performance Index tracked by the state government was virtually identical to La Salle Avenue Elementary School's in LaMotte's district, a school whose students are so far behind that Deasy nominated it for the Public School Choice program, removing it from LAUSD control.
"You took La Salle and threw it out the window," LaMotte accused.
"This is a charter school," Garcia responded.
"I don't care!" LaMotte shouted. "The charter office said [Semillas] didn't meet the floor of academic performance. I'm tired of this dual system!"
Only 30 percent of Semillas students are proficient in English, only 22 percent in math. Deasy sat stone-faced, reclining in his chair, as the debate unfolded. He seemed to know he was about to be overruled.
"It was the quietest we'd seen him for a three-hour stretch — ever," says Sarah Bradshaw, chief of staff to school board member Bennett Kayser, who voted to deny Semillas' charter renewal. The fact that the board was even given a chance to vote against Semillas was a big deal. As Bradshaw explains, "It takes an act of God for our charter office to recommend" against a charter school.
But school board members Steve Zimmer, Nury Martinez and Richard Vladovic voted with Garcia, 4-3, to let Academia Semillas have five more years. Tamar Galatzan, LaMotte and Kayser voted to shut it down.
Defending his school, Aguilar tells L.A. Weekly, "What's happening across the country is that there's a development of a myopic reliance on one number. We need to prepare students to think critically, ask questions, write research papers, interview people, speak from experience. Those are all fundamentally not measured on a standards-based exam."
But with their exceedingly low achievement on basic skills, few Semillas students will flourish in areas such as writing. Callaghan says the state's testing of core skills is not "the end-all be-all, but you need to know how to add and subtract at a certain age — and at a certain age you need to know vocabulary."
The irony is that Callaghan's successful Jardin de la Infancia on Skid Row nearly was shut down by LAUSD just last year.
The Weekly has reported about the marked difference between Jardin and LAUSD's substandard Ninth Street Elementary School a few blocks away. Jardin's class of second-grade "graduates" are invited each year to transfer to high-achieving Brentwood Science Magnet Elementary School on the Westside.

What if we fire all the people in the bloated office downtown and in the local districts too.? I don' t mean the custodiol staff or office techs who have felt the cuts along with teachers. I mean the aids tonaids that xost 100 k according to Cirtines m who complained to LAT 's hasons of Education about the waste and corruption of the crony crowd in the s hool system.
Look how shamelessly Board President abuses her power to thwart the demise of her friend's school. While I put no stck whatsoever in test scores because the culture bias coupled with a 50% margin of error make he test data unreliable, it is the measuere of success the district claims to defer to. On the other hand , Monica Garcia is indifferent to the rest ofbthe board's business and shows cavalier indifference to the unjust closure of LaSalle a school serving a much larger more diverse sstudent body that includes many children with IEPs , which apparently the charter discriminates against with the school districts's blessings. Our area is represented by LaMotte who frequently sees our schools out from under the community, whole staffs displaced and probably wonders, as I do.if anyone notices how African An are treated like to 4th class citizens .

Further evidence of the LA Weakly's ongoing obsession with standardized tests, which is understandable since not one of its education beat writers have even an inkling of matters regarding pedagogy. Testing isn't teaching. Sadly, many have ideological and vested interests in the testing racket. The problem with Academia Semillas del Pueblo isn't scores or curricula, it's that it's a privately run corporation.
I wholeheartedly support many of the programs Academia Semillas implements, including ethnic studies and multi-lingual immersion. If they were a public school, we would defend them against bigots and NCLB-lovers. However, when wealthy charter school executives like Marcos Aguilar are shoveling $109,729 of the community's taxes into his pockets a year, I have grave concerns that the media aren't noticing that their trumpeted "free market education solutions" inevitably fail again and again due to charter sector greed.
Academia Semillas should have been converted back into a public school with public oversight. That way we could have kept the good things about the school, while jettisoning the avaricious charter school operators. Unfortunately, the lucrative charter sector holds so much sway in this town -- from 10900 Wilshire Blvd. to 333 Beaudry Blvd. -- that it was guaranteed Aguilar would continue milking his cash cow. Sadly it's bad for the students and gives cultural studies an undeserved bad name.
If Hillel Aron, Jill Stewart, and Simone Wilson would put down the Ayn Rand just long enough to learn enough about education to write something cogent about it, we would get insightful and informative articles without the provincial reductionism that is the hallmark of this trashy masseuse and porn ad pennysaver.
What a powerful quote to end with by Ms. Bradshaw. By any chance is that the same Chief of Staff Sarah Bradshaw that was arrested for driving under the influence of marijuana days after Semillas' charter renewal hearing. Makes you wonder if she was high when she spoke to you Hillel...

Now there is some news. I can't wait to see your LA Weekly hatchet job on Bennet Kayser's office Mr. Aron...
Yes you are right, your school is changing the world by promoting an agenda of racial separatism. You reject and you crticize the American way / White way yet you gladly accept our White dollars! NICE!!
As for the internationally recognized standards which countries are you comparing your scores to (third world countries with poor educational standards) A well rounded education includes everything you discuss (listen I am not against indigenous people learning and proudly accepting/promoting their historical culture) but you cannot argue and state that that is the only basis for your educational beliefs. Stop pandering the culture and using it as an excuse to keep your school OPEN! Lets not forget the most import and basic part of education still remains the following:1. Students must first learn how to read,2. learn how to write and3. learn how to count. Your students are not even meeting the basic “floor standards” Again nothing to be proud of. If your agenda was so rigorous your school would not be in the lowest 10% (lowest in the district and state)! Wow nothing to be proud of.
Yes you are right, your school is changing the world by promoting an agenda of racial separatism (http://semillas.dignidad.org/s.... You reject and you crticize the American way / White way yet you gladly accept our White dollars! NICE!!
... Well to say the least , this isnt about the students, staff or community, its about making sure that Marcos and his wife Director of Education , walk around being al mighty looking down on staff as they each make 6 figures ? Must be nice right? How many of you knew it was a family affair? I've seen the checks, they make more in a month than the average family in the community they "serve",....How succesful is Xocolatl yall? Marcos is a businessman, not an educator... Can you post up acceptance letters to these so called universities? A throguh G ..... How many seniors in this class of 2012'? will they be receiving that famous IB certificate? Please publish a official response to this article and stop wasting my taxes on having your staff reply to others comments.
Good point @Monica why focus on the school, we should be blaming LAUSD & Monica Garcia, her recall now makes a lot of sense.

Alex-smith*My children are attending a prestigious school and the first International Baccalaureate World School to be authorized in the city of Los Angeles and the only World school in East. LA., Semillas goes beyond the minimal standard of instruction, to meet the rigor of international standards of education, as well as internationally recognized rights of children, and Indigenous Peoples *Our students are excelling and will continue to do so for years to come*Our students are already changing the world in more ways than one!
Sit back and witness success! Just a few of a hundred reasons why semillas children are changing the world!!!1.Semillas students participate in a rich education that includes a progressive international focus. 2.Semillas students attend school in the only school serving the indigenous population in Los Angeles, which has the largest indigenous population in the country.3.Semillas students help preserve and keep indigenous culture alive while learning Nahuatl, Aztec Danza, and traditional oral history4.Semillas students have access to a quality education in low-income, disenfranchised area.6.Semillas students have participated in annual Hanban Cultural Exchange Trips To China in association with the UCLA Confucius Institute.7.Semillas students learn to think critically and analyze their curriculum versus being taught cookie-cutter curriculum. 8.Semillas has developed a model Mandarin Language & Culture Program and currently teaches more students Mandarin than the entire LAUSD.9.100% of Semillas students access the International Baccalaureate programs.10.100% of Semillas students access University of California A-G requirements and other college-bound curriculum beginning in the eighth grade starting with Algebra I.11.100% of AIUP 12th graders are on track to graduate with A-G requirements.12.Over 75% of AIUP 12th graders have already been accepted to a four-year university13.100% of AIUP students pass CAHSEE including SPED students.14.Our students participate in Annual Global Classrooms Model UN Conferences in local universities.
SI SE PUEDE!!! SEMILLAS STUDENTS ARE CHANGING THE WORLD, ONE CHILD AT A TIMECULTIVAR ES SEMBRAR LA EDUCACION DE UN PUEBLO!
@Padresporunaeducacionautonoma no disrespect to your children but please do not compare the students from Semillas to Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, David Cote, and Scott Walker. You are right, all of these men did attend alternative education, however they were all enrolled in prestigious private schools and later on excepted into harvard. 1. your kids are not enrolled in a prestigious school. 2. they excelled in school, unlike the semillas students and 3. sorry but the semillas students are not going to change the world... and @Manuelxochiltl, impressive i see you are trilingual. spanglish, english and spanish. you must have graduated from Semillas yourself
Semillas is a great school! no matter what you guys say we aint going nowhere! We have 5 years more! aqui estamos y nos quedamos.. no nos importa what chu guys says.Choice is a choice! were brown and proud! chicano power. chicano nation. nature esta en nestro equipo , y tambien dios... viva la raza
The 5 more years you've got has nothing to do with nature or God, you should thank Board President Monica Garcia who seems to be the spokesperson for Semillas, I wonder how big is the piece of pie she is getting?. Yo tambien estoy orgullosa de ser mexicana y por eso mi preocupacion por la educacion que estos niños estan recibiendo. NO!! A LAS ESCUELAS QUE PAGAN POR TAPAR SU BAJO RENDIMIENTO!!
Did anybody mention that Semillas’ Executive Director is a non-voting, ex officio member of the governing board or Council of Trustees and that serving on the board of a charter school may be deemed to be in violation of California Government Code §1090. So let me get this straight...Mr. Aguilar is not only the Exectuive Director (earns a six figure salary) but also a member of the board (who gets paid ) and also votes as a commitee member because his kids all go there. Wow pretty good set-up. We should all open a Charter!
My kids attended this school for a short period of time they would come home speaking reading and writing 4 languages they would teach them at the park some days they learned the highest academics took trips to cal state La and USC had their art displayed in local art shows and had the highest respect for the community and world as a whole. That's the real story
Cultura your suggestion to only use this barometer and criteria §47607 to evaluate my children's success is not the best indicator, or even a good indicator, of success in life because it does not fairly measure various qualities of an individual such as personality, leadership potential, drive, creativity and stewardship in their community.Semillas Community Schools educates the “whole child” with a dynamic, inspiring and nurturing learning community dedicated to aiding my children to reach their individual potential. The Semillas education model is about promoting an academic and cultural community-based learning across the academic disciplines. This pedagogical approach helps students learn to apply their knowledge and skills in making meaningful contributions to their community. This model paves the way for other schools and school district to follow in California, United States and the entire world. Our school has been recognized for its educational model among international and education institutes.These contributions and goals are more important than just test taking skills and API scores. I have healthy, intelligent, open minded, and trilingual children. My children love to learn in this humble yet loving setting. I have the right to choose the type of education I want for my children. My children are constantly motivated to stay in school, go to the university and earn their degree while also increasing their cognitive, cultural skills, and knowledge, which will effectively prepare them as future leaders of this worldEvidence is best lent by understanding what "success in life" means. If money, the ability to move technological barriers, and shaping of the world are metrics, consider the number of people who were not products of a traditional education, Examples include Albert Einstein, Bill Gates (Microsoft), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Larry Ellison (Oracle), David Cote (CEO of Honeywell), and Scott Walker (governor of Wisconsin). The world is full of non-traditional graduates that have succeeded in various endeavors. In the end, my children will be participants in the continual development and guardianship of this world. These are the plans for the seven generations and future leaders of this world.. Thank you for your opinion.
@Lex Steppling and Mr. Rocha, Although I respect your opinion I think you are missing the point. Semillas’ failure to meet the criteria of §47607 should be sufficient to find that Semillas has demonstrated “substantial and sustained departure from measurably successful practices such that continued departure would jeopardize the educational development of the school’s pupils” under §47604.5(c). Semillas has been given a ten year opportunity to provide a quality learning environment to students, yet Semillas has consistently underperformed on academic metrics. Semillas has failed to show the required levels of improvement in its second charter term even after grave concerns about its ability to do so were explicitly raised in 2007. Five years later, Semillas’ academic performance still ranks among the lowest in the entire district, and even the entire state. Keeping such a consistently underperforming school open is not in the best interest of California students and is certainly not consistent with sound educational practice. What type of barometer should be used if not academic?
It's not an academic barometer, but rather a destructive set of policies and it's numbingly stupid of Mr. Aron to write a piece about education while remaining a-critical of the metrics in place. What level of precedents is needed here? And why must the opening paragraph contain such ad hominem mocking? It's a condescending and badly written piece. You have to be smart if you are to condescend after all. Am I to read this at face value? "That kind of parochialism leads to a dysfunctional school district." To channel generations of failure towards a school that actually nurtures it's students is stunningly small thinking for any publication.
LA Weekly fails big time here. Test scores? thats your barometer for success? The No Child Left Behind model is being affirmed here. LA Weekly again, FAILS here, no irony intended. Academia Semillas del Puebo is a wonderful example of what honest education based on real understanding of pedagogy looks like. The Weekly has been a silly little joke (when it comes to current affairs) for some time now, but I never expected this. I hope the shame you ought to be feeling arrives soon.
The entire predication of standardized testing, as a barometer for anything, has been suspect for a long time. Educators such as Sir Kenneth Robinson have written and lectured on the absurdity of this model. Why would the LA Weekly embrace such backward practice and policy? Why? Its simply beyond comprehension, actually. Wake up Weekly......look around you, look at what this sort of myopic mind set has brought us. This is just a shockingly specious position...and a shockingly foolish article.

After reading this article, it is my firm belief that the LA Weekly should be forbidden to report on issues such as these until they show a genuine interest in the future of our children. Let them continue to promote scandalous lifestyles and fill up their back pages with sex hot lines and gay porn. Fred Noland's illustration of my friend and colleague, Marcos Aguilar, is reminiscent of Mel Gibson's Apacolypto-esque depictions of a culture, civilization and history that has never appealed to the white middle- and upper-middle class readership of the LA Weekly. I am ashamed to have supported and promoted LA Weekly in the past and hope my fellow Xican@s, Angelen@s and Los Angeles community leaders will send this publication a strong message to keep away from our children's education. Until they are willing to expose the root causes of a failing Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the LA Weekly should refrain from describing any alternative educational program as "failing" and continue to cater to the yuppies and hipsters in Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Hollywood and the West Side.
Mis opiniones acerca de esta “academia” no son chismes ni comentarios sin fundamento. hablo por experiencia propia y creo que esta publicacion reafirma el punto que quiero dar a conocer. Semillas es una academia, con PESIMO rendimiento academico, que no cumple con las normas minimas que requiere el estado (no lo digo yo, lo dicen sus evaluaciones académicas) ellos se escudan afirmando que no es una educacion convencional y que los niños estaran preparados para lo que venga en su futuro. Yo soy mexicana y estoy muy orgullosa de mis raices, pero sinceramente no creo que el Nahuatl entre otras clases en la academia, tenga gran relevancia hoy en dia y mucho mas tomando en cuenta el pais donde estamos. Nuestros niños (hablando de todos los latinos) necesitan CALIDAD EN LA EDUCACION y Semillas esta calificada entre las peores escuelas comparada con escuelas similares de latinos. Porque siguen aprobando que la academia siga en funcionamiento? sinceramente no entiendo, esto implica aparte de dinero de todos nosotros, aprobar que mas y mas niños reciban una educacion mediocre. Ya la aprobaron por 5 años y no se si se pueda hacer algo al respecto, pero esperemos que en su proxima renovacion la cierren por completo por el bien de los pequeños.
Y si el Nahualth y otras clases academicas no van con tu idea de educacion por que inscribiste a tus hijos a Semillas por que antes de inscribir a tus hijos en Semillas te dan informacion por escrita explicandote las clases e idiomas que enseñaran seguida de una orientacion de padres a la cual tuviste que haber asistido para poder registrar a tus hijos entonces no venias engañada de saber las materias que enseñarian...Ademas para que un estudiante sobresalga academicamente nesecita el respaldo de padres responbles y entregados a la educacion de sus hijos.
Felicidades a todos los padres que se interesan en dialogar por la educación de sus hijas e hijas, Mi interés y decisión es defender la educación indígena y intelectual que llega a ser un base mas profunda y con una perspectiva mundial. Yo estoy muy satisfecha con la educación de mis hijos, la dedicación del los maestros y personal de la escuela y muy orgullosos de pertenecer a una comunidad de padres concientes, ,trabajadores y luchadores por la educación autónoma. Por eso es que muchos de nosotros tenemos a nuestros hijos/hijas en esta escuela charter.Sabían ustedes que Semillas del Pueblo a la que asisten mis hijos es escuela mundial y parte de una red de escuelas internacionales del bachillerato internacional. Es parte de mas 1800 escuelas en los Estados Unidos y mas de 3000 en todo el mundo.Ese es mi interés y decisión como guía de mis hijos. Las opiniones y evaluaciones personales basadas en este articulo son simplemente perspectivas sin base o evaluación académica y profesional . Estamos de parte de mas de 200 padres y madres que decidimos apoyar y respaldar a la academia. Gracias por aconsejar a la guerrera yaocihuatl ojala ella tome la mejor decisión para su hijo como lo hizo usted.
Ahora si usted quisiera también podría abrir una escuela privada como a la cual asisten sus hijos y podría invitar a otros padres que estén de acuerdo con su perspectiva y pagar como lo hace usted. Una buena idea?La felicito por su perspectiva y decisión personal ahora deje que nosotros los padres que si quieren tener este tipo de educación sigamos adelante y libres de insultos y ataques por tomar esta decisión. Al final de todo los estudiantes de semillas están llegando a la universidad después de haber seguido este camino de educación rigorosa y intelectual. Nosotros queremos que nuestros hijos también tengan una educación universitaria. ¡Ese es el interés y derecho de nuestros hijos/hijas!
Bravo! Por que no celebrar que en este pais se puede celebrar el concepto de que no todos tenemos que estar de acuerdo. Bueno, por lo menos en teoria, si? Suerte a todos nosotros que luchamos por educar a nuestros hijos.
Bien dicho! Celebremos y luchemos por educar a nuestros hijos/as No estar de acuerdo es tambien un derecho!
Gracias por la recomendacion y tambien llegue a una conclucion mas inteligente como lo sugueriste! En vez de estar aqui dejandome llevar de chismes mejor me voy a quejar con las autoridades correspodientes para que investiguen el nivel academico y agan algo al respecto porque lo que paso en lausd parece mas un favor para los que se estan enriquesiendo con el negocito !! Y como guerrera no doy la cara porque tampoco creo que tu seas padre de familia y tampoco la estas dando! Monica Ya vendiste los zapatos que me gustaron ?
Felicidades guerrera, no soy un padre ni una madre soy toda una comunidad de padres y estudiantes que escojen del dia a dia apoyar y asistir a esta escuela charter. Estamos satisfechos y simplemente defendemos el derecho de poder escojer esta educacion alternativa. Suerte en tus platicas con las autoridades y nuestros mejores deseos en llegar a la conclusion de seguir adelante con los consejos que resibistes el dia de hoy. Nos da mucho gusto que este articulo motive a otros padres a estar presentes en la educacion de sus hijos/as. Aqui no hay negosito ni favorsitos solamente una comunidad que lucha por educar a sus hijos/as con una educacion internacional, rigorosa,cultural y con un liderasgo y equipo de maestros excelentes y muy trabajadores. Nosotros apoyamos y defendemos el derecho de escojer esta educacion. !Gracias por sus comentarios y adelante con el caminar!
Primero que nada, la forma en la que me gano el dinero para pagar la educacion de mis hijos no te concierne a ti (Padres por una educacion autonoma) y tu critica lo unico que muestra es tu FALTA DE HUMILDAD, de casualidad no enseñan VALORES EN ESA ESCUELA!?. No me sorprende que te haya ofendido el consejo que le doy a Mujer Guerrera el cual es sincero y con la unica intensión de que NINGUN OTRO NIÑO VUELVA A PERDER SU TIEMPO EN ESA ACADEMIA (si se le puede llamar de esa manera) mi hijo ya lo hizo y por personas como ustedes, (porque se ve que trabajas ahi o tienes intereses de por medio) con su supuesta "cultura" y "educacion alternativa" lo unico que logran es retrasar la educacion de nuestros niños. Mujer Guerrera, ya manifesto que no se siente satisfecha con esa academia, por la forma en que se manifiestan y aterrorizan a los estudiantes y padres, esas fueron palabras de ella y no mias. Finalmente ella es libre de tomar la decision que ella crea oportuna. Gracias por tus buenos deseos hacia mi hijo, estoy muy satisfecha de la decision que tome la cual fue sacarlo de esa academia!! y aunque ahorita esta sufriendo tratando de llegar al nivel de su nueva escuela, me lo agradecera en un futuro.
LA MEJOR FORMA DE QUE LOS PADRES NO COMETAMOS EL ERROR DE INSCRIBIR A NUESTROS HIJOS EN ESTA ACADEMIA ES QUE LA CERRARAN!! de verdad no logro entender porque esta escuelucha sigue abierta.
Mujer guerrera usted tienen el derecho de opinar sobre la educación de sus hijos y ultimadamente la única decisión en como educar a sus hijos, pero lo que yo recomendaría a usted que se llama guerrera es que luchara en llegar a una conclusión mas inteligente y no dejarse llevar por la opinión de otra madre que Yaa no es parte de la escuela. Este articulo no es la mejor información disponible para llegar a su conclusión.Si usted tiene preguntas sobre la educación de su hijo/a, porque no va a la oficina central y hace un a cita con la Directora del la escuela y segundo participar y defender la educación de los estudiares es una decisión personal. Nadien le pide a padres participar en marchas o manifestaciones. Esos pasos se deciden entre los padres no hay ninguna agenda egoísta a beneficio de este director.Las madres y padres que mandan a sus hijos a esta escuela es porque quieren una educación alternativa.Mujer Guerrera por favor note confundas por los chismes y mentiras la puerta esta muy abierta para que hagas tus preguntas en persona. Las mujeres guerreras siempre dan la frente y defienden la verdad con verdad. Mónica espero que todo salga muy bien en futuro con tu hijo. Gracias por hacer la mejor decisiónGracias por tus opiniones pero no se aceptan tus insultos y falta de información. La ridícula y egoísta en opinar en un foro como este eres tu.. ?Porque no mejor te pones a vender mas zapatos en ves de zapatear con la guerrera?

As a former teacher of that charter -- the school is a disservice to the community and have very unrealistic goals for their teachers and students. Basically once they are done with you they toss you out because you did not fit in with their secret agenda. Yes, a very elitist bunch. And no he does not dress like that everyday.
I'm curious? what were the unrealistic goals for teachers and students? Do you mean to really educate children in the barrio and not just teach to the test? Are you still teaching?I hope you are doing a better job teaching in another school where your talents and dedication will be valued. Viva Los Maestros!!
Wow. Former Chicanos Studies majors and other far left loonies are producing scores of illiterates who can't perform elementary school level Math. Everyone who's shocked, please raise your hand.
Soy una madre consternada con esta noticia y mi Hijo no regresa mas a esta escuela llamada Semillas del Pueblo.Ademas de que nos mitieron los administrativos con el desarrollo academico tambien nos aterrorizan diciendonos que si no estamos con ellos estamos en contra !no ay un punto medio yo se que havemos muchos padres en esta cituacion asi que quiero que no tomen represarias con nuestros hijos .Ya basta de que nos usen para su beneficio porque nuestros hijos son los que salen perdiendo y ellos enriquesiendose y proclamando una cultura ala que solo claman cuando nesesitan ayuda para hacer protestas sin fundamentos como la de la renovacion del charter !
Mujer Guerrera, tu eres libre de tomar la decision que tu quieras para el bienestar de tus hijos, informate y decide. LA MEJOR FORMA DE QUE LOS PADRES NO COMETAMOS EL ERROR DE INSCRIBIR A NUESTROS HIJOS EN ESTA ACADEMIA ES QUE LA CERRARAN!! pero al parecer esto no es posible, si requieres mas informacion de mi experiencia con esta escuela no dudes en ponerte en contacto conmigo. Mucha suerte y la mejor de las vibras!!
Mujer Guerrera, mi hijo tambien estuvo en esa escuela. Lo meti ahi porque me parecio importante que conociera nuestra cultura, sin embargo me di cuenta que sobrepasan los limites volviendose en una obsesion con la cultura azteca y discriminando todas las demas ESTA ESCUELA ES UNA AMENAZA PARA LOS QUE NO PERTENECEN A ELLA, ademas de que su nivel academico es muy bajo (a mi hijo le costo mucho trabajo adaptarse y llegar al nivel de su nuevo colegio) y su director a quien tuve la mala suerte de conocer es un inadaptado, ridiculo y egoista que solo ve sus intereses, me pregunto ¿que tipo de madres dejan que sus hijos participen en manifestaciones,solo para beneficio de este Señor? Entiendo tu preocupacion y no pierdas tiempo, porque te arrepentiras y tus hijos lo sufriran en un futuro.

Este articulo no es la mejor información disponible para llegar a su conclusión.Si usted tiene preguntas sobre la educación de su hijo/a, porque no va a la oficina central y hace un a cita con la Directora del la escuela y segundo participar y defender la educación de los estudiares es una decisión personal. Nadien le pide a padres participar en marchas o manifestaciones. Esos pasos se deciden entre los padres no hay ninguna agenda egoísta a beneficio de este director.Las madres y padres que mandan a sus hijos a esta escuela es porque quieren una educación alternativa.Mujer Guerrera por favor note confundas por los chismes y mentiras la puerta esta muy abierta para que hagas tus preguntas en persona. Las mujeres guerreras siempre dan la frente y defienden la verdad con verdad. Mónica espero que todo salga muy bien en futuro con tu hijo. Gracias por hacer la mejor decisiónGracias por tus opiniones pero no se aceptan tus insultos y falta de información. La ridícula y egoísta en opinar en un foro como este eres tu.. ?Porque no mejor te pones a vender mas zapatos en ves de zapatear con la guerrera?
LAWoman no sabia que la UCLA apoyara a Semillas y justo eso es lo que no logro entender. Como apoyar una escuela con tan bajo rendimiento, has visto las instalaciones de la academia? a los niños les dan clases en el patio!! creo que UCLA perdera mucha credibilidad apoyando este tipo de escuelas. No son declaraciones mal informadas son declaraciones por experiencia propia y si, Semillas no fue la mejor opcion y al contrario fue una de las PEORES por eso mismo no quiero que otras madres comentan el mismo error que yo. Saludos!!
Primero que nada, la forma en la que me gano el dinero para pagar la educacion de mis hijos no te concierne a ti y tu critica lo unico que muestra es tu FALTA DE HUMILDAD, de casualidad no enseñan VALORES EN ESA ESCUELA!?. No me sorprende que te haya ofendido el consejo que le doy a Mujer Guerrera el cual es sincero y con la unica intensión de que NINGUN OTRO NIÑO VUELVA A PERDER SU TIEMPO EN ESA ACADEMIA (si se le puede llamar de esa manera) mi hijo ya lo hizo y por personas como ustedes, (porque se ve que trabajas ahi o tienes intereses de por medio) con su supuesta "cultura" y "educacion alternativa" lo unico que logran es retrasar la educacion de nuestros niños. Mujer Guerrera, ya manifesto que no se siente satisfecha con esa academia, por la forma en que se manifiestan y aterrorizan a los estudiantes y padres, esas fueron palabras de ella y no mias. Finalmente ella es libre de tomar la decision que ella crea oportuna. Gracias por tus buenos deseos hacia mi hijo, estoy muy satisfecha de la decision que tome la cual fue sacarlo de esa academia!! y aunque ahorita esta sufriendo tratando de llegar al nivel de su nueva escuela, me lo agradecera en un futuro.
LA MEJOR FORMA DE QUE LOS PADRES NO COMETAMOS EL ERROR DE INSCRIBIR A NUESTROS HIJOS EN ESTA ACADEMIA ES QUE LA CERRARAN!! de verdad no logro entender porque esta escuelucha sigue abierta.
El espa~ol no es mi primer lengua pero con ganas tratare de comentar:
Si, Mujer Guerrera tiene todo derecho a opinar sobre la educacion de sus hijos. Pero declaraciones mal informadas, no. Semillas Adademia del Pueblo ofrece una opcion que para esta comunidad, les vale mucho. Sabia ud. que la UCLA apoya a esta escuela? Para mi, eso dice mucho. Parace que en su caso, Semillas no era la mejor opcion. Adios y suerte.
Maybe Aguilar is taking his cue from our universities, that are quite willing to fill their classrooms with students of philosophy, archeology, sociology and other subjects that are regarded as "easy A" curricula with little or employability for graduates. We need to give students bedrock skills-- spelling, grammar, vocabulary... basic math as well as algebra, trig, calculus... chemistry, physics... learning how to be part of a core workforce is far more important than whatever Mr. Aguilar is focusing on. If those kids learn to speak obscure languages that have no relevance in today's workplaces, and have no marketable skills on top of that, he's condemning them to failure and poverty. Wake up, Mr. Aguilar!
Oh golly, the L.A. Weekly uses the mighty power of the pen to attack this all-powerful but rather invisible charter school. The magnificently ignorant Jill Stewart has turned this sort of cheap shot piece into an art form. She apparently now has new hand puppet in the form of this Aron kid. It's painful to watch the Weekly flail around while already in its journalistic afterlife.
