Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)
When I watched: August 20, 2009
Where I watched: Home, DVD
Funny.lol He's a funny guy! And he has some great moves.lol He's not just a fat guy, he's GOOD!
Since this movie is Adam Sandler's Happy Madison studio presents, there are a lot of familiar faces in this movie... I mean, not main characters, but like, one here, one there...lol That was one of another ways to enjoy this movie... at least for me.lol
The story was just like other movies from Happy Madison studio, I thought. It's not too complecated, but it's not just funny either. It's good...lol
I hope Kevin James will appear in more movies... I think he's hilarious!

What is "School"?
Ok, first thing's first. I got a phone call from Navy Family Fleet and DOE today, the Principal accepted John to stay in the school for all this school year! Yay! We won the war!lol Thanks to everybody who support us, and thanks to United States Military... This country's Military service is very good about supporting Military Family. Basically, Military DOE came out for us, 120% agreed with us, n talked to the Principal. I really really appreciate that.
So that is a good thing that John can stay in his school, though we as parents, are still not happy with the Principal. In this case, most important thing was about John. John really likes his new teacher, so do I, and John is very comfortable in his class.
The sad part from this case is... of course there are still questions left about this school and school system. It may be only this school issue, may be not.
The question is, what is "School"?
To me, I want "school" to be the place, where kids can feel safe and enjoy, like their second home. It's not only about education, but there are so many things they would learn in school. I understand that it may not be that simple. There may be always budget issues as well. But each teachers, include Principals and Vice Principals, their first concern supposed to be about their students?
When I was in 2nd grade... I just transferred to a new school, because of the moving. Then I met this Principal, who looked very familiar to me, because he was the Principal of my Kindergarten! He was very very kids-loved Principal all-time. He remembered all students faces and names, he spoke to students very often. I never forget his smile.
That's what "school" should be, don't you think? "School" should be the place, kids feel safe, enjoy, and be happy. If there's a problem, the teachers would fight for the students. NEVER leave them behind, NEVER EVER throw them out. Isn't that "school" supposed to be??
Now we are happy about our son John can stay in the school. But are there any other students treated same way before? They didn't know what to do, some parents might not be able to get a good help as we got.
I really thought this time, we parents should not give up anything for our kids. We should fight for the students' rights. We should appreciate the teachers who really care about our kids, and fight for those good teachers so they can make it a better place for kids. Let's not allow the system ruin our kids future.

Movie Night: Race to Witch Mountain
Race to Witch Mountain (2009)
When I watched: August 20, 2009
Where I watched: Home, PPV
This movie was the movie kids n adult both can enjoy to watch. It didn't feel too long or too short, I didn't get bored with the story either.
The Rock...I still call him that... his acting is just better n better. He is a perfect action star, I would say. Though I am not happy that I cannot see him on the ring now.
This movie might not be the greatest action movie, but considering as a family movie, it was actually pretty good. The story was not so complicated so my kids enjoyed it as well.

Oh, it's SO ON!!!!!
Yes, we are starting this war against John's school!
It was started with one phone call from his school's office. It was yesterday, around lunch time, I think... They asked me about our address, so, because I already started to process Michele's pre-school program in the same school, I thought that was about Michele first. But the thing was... because of her paperwork, now they happened to find that our address in not in their district.
OK... The school year already started, n it's been 3weeks. John already has a class room, a teacher, a desk n everything set up. Before the last school year ended, we filled out the paperwork asking "Does you child come back to our school next school year?", with all our address. Top of that, back in April, I went to the school office n asked them if I need to fill out GE form, they said they were not sure so they will call me for that, so I left my name, address and phone number. Did I get any phone call? NO! So of course I would think, I don't have to fill out the GE form!
Now, this is ridiculous. So they transfer my call to Vice Principal. She explain the situation, but she told me that I have to transfer John to another school. And to me, THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. So after that, I called to Department of Education Hawaii. I couldn't talk to the person in charge at the time, but the lady I spoke, she suggested me to talk to not Vice Principal, but talk to Principal.
So I called back to the school, n talked to this Principal....
OMG... this lady... she is a B**CH!!!!!
I was explaining what is going on, of course by this time I was very upset, but this B**CH doesn't know how to listen! She SCREAM BACK TO ME SAYIN,
"ANYWAY YOUR SON DOESN'T BELONG TO MY SCHOOL!!!"
Can you believe that? She was too busy screaming at me that, she didn't even care the fact this student's father is currently Iraq and this student is having a hard time about it, and he feels very comfortable in school right now!
I yelled back at her "So how can you explain about that I see the students in this same housing area in same school uniform?"
Then she screamed at me, again, n said,
"I DON'T KNOW! I AM A PRINCIPAL, THAT IS NOT MY JOB!!!"
Really? Huh.
I even told her, back in April, I actually tried to filled out GE form, but I never got contact back. She screamed back at me, again, n said,
"HOW CAN I KNOW YOU ARE NOT LYING???"
ENOUGH! I was so done talking to this PSYCHO B**CH!!!
So I called to Navy Family Fleet Service, I explained to her everything, oh she was MAD! She was mad at this school and the Principal! I was like, "Finally! Thank you!!!"
Now she is taking care of this case on her level, n she's taking this to all Navy level. She told me there will be a long process n meetings, but she won't accept any other answer from them but our son stays in the school at least til the end of the school year.
I already don't like this school because of this PSYCHO B**CH Principal, but John likes his teacher, n he is comfortable there. I am not removing our son just because of their ego. And this Principal needs to pay the price. There are so many "fishy" things going on in this school, include the money situations, if they would give us a hard time and wanna play the game, I am willing to bring this to the court, plus I will bring this to the local news.
This is not right. The school, the teachers, and most of all, the Principal, supposed to think about the best for all the students first, but she doesn't care! Oh, BTW, we paid $10 student fee which WE HAD TO. They were checking if everybody paid, so they care about the money, but obviously they didn't check all students information n addresses. So we have this problem, but my very next door(which I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE THEIR NAME TO THE SCHOOL, of course!) didn't get any notice about transferring school! It's all started only because of NOT THE FORM ABOUT JOHN, but the form about totally something else. Which means, if I didn't try to enroll Michele in their pre-school program, they didn't even know anything!
I can't believe this, I can't believe that this lady is actually sitting on the Principal desk. We need to make an action about this!
The school is NOT THE PRINCIPAL'S OWN, but the school means because of the students, the teachers and the parents! She has NO RIGHTS to say that our son does not belong to HER school, she has NO RIGHTS to SCREAM at ANY PARENTS with ANY REASONS, she has NO RIGHTS to CALL A PARENT A LIAR, especially when SHE'S NOT DOING HER JOB!!!
I am very VERY upset, but thanks to all my friends, and all this Navy system, hopefully we will get through this.
But... you know what? IT'S ON!!!
