Kid falls through skylight at Eckstein

All I know about this is what I read in the paper. But I am curious. What were kids doing on the roof at Eckstein? How could one of them be so foolish as to fall through a skylight?

Ummm...to answer your questions...The kid is 13. Therefore, he is developmentally programmed to look at dumb ideas and think those ideas are pure genius. Basically the perceived awesomeness of an action moves in an inverse relationship to the level of adult/reasonable person disapproval of the action.

Rachel nails it. I'm still in awe that my son is still alive after the stupid stuff he pulled at 13-14. One thing did involve him being up on our roof. To this day I don't know how he got there.

I recall a couple of years back some Eckstein boys broke into the school, looked around and took some small stuff. They were seemingly unaware that the school had a silent burglar alarm and were surprised to be met by the police.

They're 13 year old boys. That would explain it.

I was just told by my daughter, who graduated from Eckstein 4 years ago that "everyone climbs up on the roof there". :-) And that she "only did it once".
Yup - 13-year-old minds are not the best for avoiding dangerous situations.

I heard they were doing Parkour and that he was attempting to jump over the skylight. He didn't quite make it and fell through it instead. How they got up on the roof is another story.

Tuesday Open Thread

The speaker list is up for the Board meeting tomorrow; not as packed as I thought with just four people on the waitlist. The majority of the speakers are speaking on high school boundaries (with several wanting to talk about Ballard High). There are only three of us speaking about the Green Dot resolution asking the City to not grant the zoning departures that Green Dot has requested.  It's me, long-time watchdog, Chris Jackins, and the head of the Washington State Charter Schools Association, Patrick D'Amelio.  (I knew Mr. D'Amelio when he headed the Alliance for Education and Big Brothers and Big Sisters; he's a stand-up guy.)

Weirdness in Seattle Public Schools Abounds and Astounds

Update on this story: As mentioned previously, the Reddit post got taken down but still a living thing via several saves. I went back and looked at it and it has over 300 comments. Gotta say, most view it as Board PR and saw it what the word salad that it is.  I don't think Hampson did herself any favors with it. end of update Well, I certainly got a lot of people's attention which is a good thing.  Updates: - The Seattle Student Union put out this press release in support of SEA. - The Reddit post has been deleted but as others have said, screenshots are forever (and I have them). - A story in the South Seattle Emerald pits Special Education PTSA president, Janis White, and SEA president, Jennifer Matters, against Director Rankin and former PTSA president, Sebrena Burr.  Janis White, the SEPTSA president, specified why she felt the need to pressure the district with a rally at this particular moment. White wants to see parents on the Special Education Task Force “[s]o that

Anaylsis of Seattle School Board Decision to Bring "Student Outcome Focused Governance"

 Several things are clear about this decision that the Seattle School Board made - not unanimously - last Wednesday night at their regular Board meeting. There is not a united front on this issue. It seemed pretty clear that Director Chandra Hampson was the driver of this initiative and, on that night, wanted a united vote. But, true to form, when she realized she wasn't going to get that, she tried to make it personal. This is exactly what President Brandon Hersey said wasn't happening (and he seemed to laugh at Director Leslie Harris for her saying her hesitation wasn't "personal").  Hampson twice insinuated that some directors had "individual wants and desires " and it was that attitude blocking progress. From the Board meeting, I got the vibe of "we gotta do something." Hersey, Rivera Smith, Hampson, Rankin - all seemedto say this. But the problem is we were never told if there were OTHER options. I tried very hard to keep up and I never
