TEXAS LAW ON BULLYING -ROLES OF THE TEA - week #7

One of the TEA’s roles is to “[m]onitor[] for compliance with certain federal and state guidelines.” The TEC is a state statutory compilation that governs public education in Texas; it applies to all educational institutions receiving state tax funds. “According to the TEC, the mission of public education is to ensure that all Texas children have access to a quality education that enables them to achieve their potential and fully participate now and in the future in the social, economic, and educational opportunities of our state and nation.”
(This cannot be done if children are too afraid to go to school) 
 One of the federal guidelines the TEA monitors is the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act. This Act “provided state and local education agencies . . . with supplemental funding to develop and enhance education programs targeting violence prevention . . . for students and employees in elementary and secondary schools.” Another role of the TEA is to “administer[] billions of dollars in both state and federal funds that support a variety of programs to benefit public education.”

 The major source of income for public education comes from the Permanent School Fund. In 1845, the Texas Constitution required “one-tenth of the annual state tax revenue be set aside as a perpetual fund to support free public schools,” and now the fund provides $765 million a year to over 1,000 independent school districts in Texas, including 185 public charter schools. However, in 2010, the state “asked each state agency to compile a list of state-funded programs that could be cut to produce a five percent budget reduction”; the proposed budget cuts for the TEA estimated $135 million. Later that year there was a ten percent budget reduction proposal for the 2012–2013 school year— doubling the TEA’s budget cut to $260 million. With these current and possible future budget cuts, the role of TEA may become more limited.

This basically means that YOU as parents and children who are being bullied need to lobby at your schools and local offices of government to make sure that  you understand the programs that are being cut and what YOUR tax dollars are supporting in your local community. Unfortunately, not all programs sponsored by tax dollars even come close to solving the problem anyway.  Training about bullies starts in the home whether you or your child are the victim or the bully.   We have the power to stop this madness but only when we are all so SICK AND TIRED of putting up with it all, will things finally change. 

Next installment will be MODEL LAWS IN OTHER STATES.

TEXAS LAW ON BULLYING - WHAT IS THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY - week #6

This one is quick because I'm just going to guide you all straight to the TEA WEBSITE. I'm guiding you here because the TEA is an administrative agency, established by  the Texas legislature, responsible for the oversight of primary and secondary public education in Texas.  The TEA also woks with the State Board of Education to help run various programs related to public education.  the State Board of Education, an elected fifteen -member board, and the Commission on education, who the Governor appoints, all oversee the TEA .. the TEA is responsible for public schools; it does not have jurisdiction over private schools or home-schooled students.

February 2/8/2014


This is the follow up the the 1st AWESOME BLOCKING DRILL.    We are dealing with punching so make sure you understand that if you are the 1st to throw a punch, there a legal side effects of your actions, so train and use at your own risk. 

AWESOME BLOCKING DRILL - KENJIUKAI COMBAT METHOD

Wanted to share this drill that I have given to 1,000's of my own students and students that I have taught this to in seminars over the years.  I am working with my daughter but don't let the fool you.  This is a full grown, full blown Adult / Teen drill as well. As a smaller guy, I have banked on this type of fight science for years to help me overcome and defeat opponents who are taller and bigger than me, not to mention the bouncers and police officers who need primarily DEFENSIVE motion in order to stay well within the skirt of the law.

I hope you enjoy this video and if you are school owner, please take from this video what you want in order to add some color and flavor to your curriculum.  Parents, get your child some gloves today and take advantage of the free training that I will be providing on this blog....... This is a great bonding activity and it will not eat up too much of your day until your child and you master the art of blocking.
