Looks like Kevin Miller's "Multiple recipient of the Who's Who Among America's Teachers Award (1998, 2002, and 2004)" is a bunch of bullshit according to this forum: http://www.proteacher.net/discussions/s ... php?t=6693

So let us understand this .... or let's not. Rumour has it - RCS couldn't make payroll last month, when they had no PHD's other than Buccellato. So, where are the funds coming from to pay PHD's? Why would PHD's take a chance on their career with Buccellato? Well, anyone for that matter, knowing the man's track record. I hope for their sake and their families they did some serious pre-contract compensation. Lord knows, the new staff did not do their homework.
Was "Grimwood's letter" a fake after all? By another purported "disgruntled employee?"
Jill Ryan:
--- Quote from: "Dysfunction Junction" ---OK, I have to ask...Two of you commented about Chris Grimwood being "behind" Len or "in" Len. Are you saying Chris has been sleeping with Len? That wouldn't be a surprise based on Len's previous proclivities with male staff.
RCS certainly has bombed out. That shithole is cratered before it ever gets off the ground in any real way. Undoubtedly due to the dogged determination of a select few here.
Now, the focus must shift to the new facility. If it turns out to be "academics only" I'd be really surprised because the fake therapy angle is what generates the cashflow - lots of billables.
In any case, let's dig in and make sure the public knows who's behind the new facility so they can make informed decisions about where to send their kids to "school".

I've been nominated twice, which is amazing because I've taught in a very small school, one of those where you know everything about every one of your students. I asked around, and not one of them had nominated me or even heard of such a thing. I think it is just a money maker. Why do you think they push so hard for you to buy the book.#13 Here's the proof.. · 03-27-2006, 10:12 AM
I know a woman who was just nominated. She just began working in a daycare center, that offers a "classroom-like" setting for pre-school aged children, less than 4 months ago. She did run a private day care in her home for a few years. She is not a teacher, she's a daycare provider.
She lost custody of her own children for illegal behavior. She is only permitted supervised visits with them to this day. She must attend rehab weekly in order to avoid jail time.
She has no college degree. She was homeless less than one year ago.
Again, she was just nominated. I think this "Who's Who" company gets employee listings and sends out nominations and then sits back and collects the checks from people who believe this is a legit award.
As an administrator myself, I would toss aside any resume that listed this "recognition."#22 proof it's a scam · 05-09-2007, 09:56 PM
I got one too-- using the nickname my wife gave me, which I only use for magazine subscriptions! Sorry to burst anyone's narcissistic bubble.#23 · 05-09-2007, 10:02 PM
if you fill out the form you are giving them someone else's name, who may buy the book! Don't you see how they make money? They even ask that you cross out misspellings, incase the magazine subscription they bought it from misspelled your name!#25 1st year teacher · 05-29-2007, 07:25 PM
and I got the letter...it's a scam! sorry ladies!!#35 ha ha · 06-03-2008, 02:38 PM
I am finding this so funny. I am sorry to laugh, but I can't believe people are sending in money on this. If you have to buy an award, it is not an award. I would laugh if this was on someone's resume. I would not even call this person for an interview.
