Over 900 people have left comments and they show signs of creating an online community of sorts. It will be interesting to see where this leads.” *** begin quote *** Courage, character, honor – all the virtues – are derived and strengthened from interactions with the virtuous. *** end quote *** # # # # # |

Don’t know if I’m that honest? Right after that are the “Stones” stories. Where some average Joe demonstrates the courage of hero, demonstrates a Big Set of … well, you get the idea. Am I being “crude”, yes. Vivid, yes. Blunt, yes. Especially when someone recognizes the danger and does it anyway. Like Irena Sendler and all the Righteous Among the Nations http://tinyurl.com/2b3y4t. (Women can demo “stones” better than some men ever would!) Like the fellow who dove on to the subways tracks to save a sick stranger. Like the cops who climbed up the GW to get the nut who wanted to jump down safely. (Yeah it was their job, but they could have said “time for doughnut break”. I might have.) You know “stones”. Big Uns! Here’s one such story. I don’t know that I’d have hung around a burning car. Let take the time to get out a wheelchair. I might have said “Oh, excuse me, I have a dental appointment I’m late for.” Everyone wants to believe that they can play the hero. And, maybe it’s easier in the big challenges than the little one. I don’t know. Maybe if you don’t have a lot of time to think about it. Just call me “pebbles”. I sure hope, when my time comes, I won’t be lacking for lots of extra Grace and some extra clean shorts. I know my fellow alums would acquit themselves much better. Unequivocally. And certainly with a lot less negation. (Excuse me, ID <Intelligent Designer> could I have that challenge is a much smaller size? If I promise not to whine in Jasper Jottings, could you make someone else the hero?) |

JNEWS: Omar Del Cueto (MC????) http://www.latimes.com/news/local/
***Begin Quote*** Garfield High School Principal Omar Del Cueto operated on pure instinct when he rushed to the
campus two weeks ago, its historic auditorium consumed by flames, to document
the destruction of one of East Los Angeles’ enduring symbols. Since then, his
PowerPoint presentation of haunting, graphic images has been shown to
students, staff, community leaders and politicians. It functions not only as
a record of loss but also as a catalyst to make it through the semester,
rebuild the 1925 auditorium to its former glory and unify a campus that has
been strained by low achievement. Del Cueto had
been principal only nine months when the May 20 fire thrust him into a role
as spokesman and symbol of the school. If laughter is the antidote to misery,
his arrival may have been fortuitous. His sober pronouncements are leavened
by a wry sense of humor that has kept the campus on an even keel. He is
determined that the fire and its aftermath - which includes frequent
invasions by the media, all manner of inspectors, teary-eyed alumni and a
politician or two or three - will not set back his goal of improving test
scores and preparing his mostly low-income, Latino students for life beyond
the school doors. But the challenges are formidable. The fire occurred just
as students were preparing for state standardized tests, which had to be
postponed for several days. In addition, Del Cueto recently lost a close staff vote to institute several reforms that would have included fewer and longer class periods, greater teacher collaboration and adding an advisory period focusing less on curriculum and more on early intervention and individual assessment. The school’s union representative was unavailable for comment. But Del Cueto is nothing if not
determined, and he said he thinks the campus will come to embrace his
methods, which he used to raise scores at He believes he’ll get there by using humor, quoting everyone from Sophocles to Albert Einstein and reminding all of the Bulldog ethos of Garfield, a school portrayed in the movie ‘Stand and Deliver,’ which chronicled the exploits of another advocate of passion in teaching: math instructor Jaime Escalante. ‘Building a professional learning system, even in the
middle of a tragedy - that doesn’t get suspended,’ Del Cueto
said last week during a rare pause in activity. Carmen N. Schroeder,
superintendent of the local district that includes She said she has been impressed with his hands-on
management and quick analysis of what was needed to keep the school running.
‘I could tell he was ready to take on any kind of emergency that impacted the
school,’ Schroeder said. ‘As tragic as the fire is, it has helped to build a
sense of community, common goals and vision. The teachers and administrative
staff have also been remarkable and stepped up to the plate.’ Del Cueto, 50, was born in He attended Del Cueto was a second engineer
in a recording studio working on then state-of-the-art 32-channel recording
systems. But that too was a disappointment. ‘You don’t know what it’s like
until you’ve sat all night listening to just a horn track over and over,’ Del
Cueto said, laughing. ‘But you have to try it.’ He
worked toting gear at some of It was a nice break from cerebral pursuits, but he was
beginning to long for more social interaction and a sense of mission. In
1981, Del Cueto was working as stage manager during
a slow stretch at the He soon found himself in a homeroom at John Adams Junior High that had gone through a dozen substitutes. He said one ’snotty’ student approached him and said, ‘We’ve been through 12. I wonder how long you’ll last.’ He determined then to stick it out just to spite them. Through the years, he has taught science, math and social studies, worked as a credentialed bilingual counselor, been a dean of students, a district operations officer and an assistant principal. Del Cueto ended up hiring the snotty student as a special education teacher at Luther Burbank. Del Cueto met his wife, Linda, in 1984 while she was teaching at Chester W. Nimitz Middle School. She was just named a local district superintendent. The couple live in La Canada
Flintridge and have a 12-year-old son, Mario Luis. Ramon S. Castillo, vice
president of student services at He hired Del Cueto when he was
principal at Castillo said Del Cueto’s upbeat
personality has fostered a sense of ease among students and staff since the
fire. Del Cueto, he said, has always overflowed
with ideas, including a stadium video system he
half-jokingly dubbed ‘Wilsonvision’ while the two
were at that school. ‘He’s a visionary in seeing what is not there yet,’
Castillo said. ‘It’s important to be able to envision the rebuilding of that
auditorium and raising test scores.’ Del Cueto said
he had long wanted to come to ‘I’d like someday in the future to draw parallels to Jaime
Escalante, who communicated to students the importance of attempting and
achieving high quality work,’ said Del Cueto, who
considers his job to be the principal teacher at the school. ‘We have to
overcome the folklore that keeps us from being the best: ‘It’s ***End Quote*** {MikeMcE reports: Dear John, I believe that Omar is a member of the Class of 1979. Mike (Thanks, Mike.) } # # # # # |
