Just the Facts, Ma'am.

Ever play this game?

So far this year, my local rural school has scheduled on the calendar, 17 military recruiter visits to the campus.
17 is a big number for a little school...
Military recruiters have not showed up every time.  
  So what.
They have been welcomed to visit, whether or not they show up has no bearing on anything.   
 The district would be OK with them showing up 17 times.  
  Yes they would.
I am not OK with it.
Here is my sign that I carried this morning at my regularly scheduled protest time of 7:50am-8:20am every school morning:

Fact or Crap?

I had a surprise waiting for me this morning.

Fact or Crap?

The school district has a reader board and it is on the block that I walk up and down with my protest sign.

Fact or Crap?

As stated above, I give no credence to how many times military recruiters have been on campus - my concern is with how many times they COULD have been on  campus if they wanted to be.
And that college number.... 
hmmmmmm.....

I have combed the visitor sign-in sheet several times over for college recruiter visits - because I want to be quite accurate with my sign that I carry each morning.    
I was puzzled by that. 
  So, after my protest, I went to see who put the sign up and where they got their information.

Fact or Crap?

The person I spoke with had a copy of the visitor sign in sheet for the year and had highlighted Military Recruiter visits -in Blue - College Visits in Yellow and my visits in Pink. 
   Nice!
She pointed out to me a college visit I had missed.
   I told her I would correct my sign.  
 Then I was puzzled by another college visit highlighted in Yellow from
THIS week.  
 Hey!  
Aren't all recruiter visits supposed to be on the calendar according the the new Rules? 
   She could not tell me why it was not on the calendar - so I went up the the school  check on procedures.

Fact or Crap?

At the school, it turns out that there was nobody in charge today to be able to answer, oh, any of my questions. 

  I asked to speak to the school counselor (the only counselor) and it looks like he declined to speak with me.

It also turned out that the college recruiter who visited this week and thus got tallied up on the public reader board was really not a college recruiter and is a parent of a student only talked to the shop class.

Fact or Crap?

When I got back  to my office I looked at my copy of the highlighted visitor log and decided to contact the college recruiter that it looked like I missed in my earlier attempts to glean information
 from the log.
Turns out she was not a college recruiter at all   - she was from a college but only an observer in a class.

Fact or Crap?

Sooooo......
Is this sign on the public school reader board correct now that 2 of the college recruiters were really not college recruiters? 
  Is this sign still unchanged even though I emailed corrected information to them? 
 Is this sign now going to be up at least all weekend, since today is Friday?  

Fact or Crap?

To top it off today - the (only) school councilor sent me an email to refrain from emailing again him unless it pertained to my kid.   
Geez.  
 Isn't he the guy who schedules recruiters?

Fact or Crap?

My sign is factual and the other is....
