I still can’t believe this post was never corrected to OPHS.

Now seriously, did anyone here think I was serious?

Hmmmm….teacher pay must be even lower than we thought. Poor dears were just supplementing their income. They are also our neighbors.

SARCASM BUTTON ON

Sorry I left it off for those of you who are literal minded.

What am I supposed to do, lie down and gnash my teeth because some young teachers did something stupid? I probably watched young teachers do stupid, in some cases, illegal things, before some of you all were born. Life goes on.

OFFICIAL STANCE ON THIS ISSUE: Teachers in PW Co should not sell drugs.

Rumor has it that the school is ACTUALLY named after singing legend Ozzy Osbourne and will be Northern Virginia’s answer to “School of Rock” - lol

I am starting not to believe… Even though I don’t embrace everything he says, I respected that he knew what he was talking about and listened to what he had to say. Honestly, I am not so sure anymore.

Wow! I must have missed the articles about the OPHS teachers. It saddens me as a teacher to hear that there are some that would break the law in that way. But it was not so long ago when I read that a AP at a Fairfax elem school was arrested for growing pot in his home. That same week, a Fairfax middle school teacher was arrested for showing up to work intoxicated. But it is unfair to label a school as less because of the behavior of a few idiots that despite an education, engage in risky/illegal behavior. There have been cops arrested this year on child porn charges, a head honcho with INS arrested for harboring an illegal alien girl friend, the tax scandal in the DC tax office, etc. The world is full of stupid people, and some of them are coaches, ministers, cops, teachers, FBI agents, CEO’s etc. But Dolph when you blow off such behavior with flip comments about low paid teachers, you just hurt the good teachers more by the suggestion that those who commit the crimes, do so because they are low paid. Teachers who deal drugs do it because they are flawed some way in their character. There are millions of teachers in this country that don’t make much money, yet they do not engage in criminal behavior.

I brought this up as a reason why blogs leave themselves open for criticism in another thread and was soundly dismissed, saying I was the only one concerned about OHS’s “precious image.” I have friends that work there and send their kids to school there. If you are going to report news, you have a responsibility to run the story correctly. If you don’t, you are failing you readers.

I know Greg is on vacation, but this was pointed out in this thread a few times before Greg opened his Christmas thread as he left town. I can’t imagine why he doesn’t want to correct this error.

It’s hard to read this blog sometimes, considering the number of grammatical errors…ugh…and factual errors. You really need to go back and correct the title of the post to reflect OPHS, not OHS. That’s just not right to leave inaccurate info. up there.

Ron Small –
Arggg! It isn’t “Osborn” - with or without an “e”.
Osbourn High School is the correct spelling.

You’re watching too much BVBL, dude!

The fact that OPHS took the Yellow Jacket name
and all the old trophies when it opened still rankles
some Manassas City folks.

My mom, my aunt, and their classmates are some those you speak of. OPHS, a very dark page in our history as far I’m concerned. My sister was at SJHS at the time, and parents were so thankful they weren’t living in the City.

Was that pair of teachers you neighbors?
You do live in West Gate Apts., right(per your posts)?

Greg,
A real shoot from the hip posting — blogs need
to practice a little old school journalism– check your
facts and then check them again. The teachers
are from Osbourn PARK in PWC — NOT Osbourn in
the City of Manassas.
(But, to be fair, it can be confusing. In the
early 1970’s PWC decided to replace OHS in Manassas
with a new school — everything would transfer there.
Manassas Park folks felt left out so PWC pols said
what the heck — name it Osbourn Park. BUT while
this was happening, the GA declared a moratorium
would be coming on towns taking city status. Manassas,
consequently decided to move to become a city -
quickly followed by Manassas Park. ( The cities had
to race to build their own schools, while for
years OPHS was under utilized.)
The fact that OPHS took the Yellow Jacket name
and all the old trophies when it opened still rankles
some Manassas City folks.
