张大悠的总结

周六在LWTC大厅看到周琳的母亲,她憔悴且无精打采的样子让我心里很不是滋味。是啊,这些天她该多上火,多难过。可这都能怪谁呢?

"最后一天观周琳

整个听证会,我看到的是一个凄凉的周琳,是一个耗干了斗志还撑着面子的周琳。她毫无意义的自述显得那样无力。她最后与王南希的狡辩,再次还原出她个人的秉性,这可能是她最后一次争辩。

我所能想到的历届中文学校校长,都与校领导机构有些咯咯碰碰,离开学校时未免灰溜溜的,但没有哪个校长走得象周琳这样惨,她是在一片唾骂声中离去,最后一封匿名信竟将她送到了LWTC 和洲教育部门(白:孙本经昨天大可不必那么激动,我丝毫看不出此事对中文学校有什么损害),她一定为此叫怨,诅咒那众多的匿名信,但她可能永远不明白的是:她为什么落到今天千夫所指的地步,“赢人心者,赢天下”是古往今来不变的真理,你的人心哪里去了?

自私,自大,自傲,缺少高等教育,缺少做人处事的基本常识,缺少领导者应有的素质,是她走到今天的内动力,在校长这个重要位置上,她不懂团结广大家长,弃舍小利,以图大利,不懂“大道之行也,天下为公”的道理,不懂尊重集体领导,进而藐视董事会,我行我素,对教师顺我者昌,逆我者亡,关起门来做皇帝,最终落下‘多行不义必自毙’结局。而另一方面,一些居心叵测的人是将周琳引入深渊的幕后推手,这些人有的是周琳小恩小惠的受益者,拿了人家的就手软,不办事,心不安。有的自封中文学校元老,自认对学校运作有着左右风云的影响力,只因做了点儿义工就了不起,他们狎周琳逼董事会,打乱正常领导程序,以‘为了学校好’为名替周琳鼓噪,是这股阴风吹起了周琳的斜火,使她肆无忌惮,有恃无恐,一步步走向自毙的深渊。试想,五月七日晚,如果没有现任董事胡志华先生的一通电话,周校长一定睡个安稳觉,第二天精神焕发去找死党,拉选票,呛董事会,我等也不会说什么,说不定昨天的听证会选票会一边倒向周校长,再干两年校长顺理成章。现在,我真真感受到周琳昨天连说后悔时的份量,这才是真情吐露,肺腑之言。胡志华,我们校长有今天,你罪责难逃!明知校长无脑无判断力,还偏偏将她推入火坑,千古罪人啊!

看到周琳那么一个天真无邪的老姑娘,让人玩弄于掌股之间,最终落得这样的下场,不禁动了我恻隐之心,好可怜的周琳!

Zhoulin, 36/37, is too young to under stand what she should do?

Liang Luping and Liu Jinghao, with big big ego, are the main reasons that Zhoulin has today's consequence.

其实周琳尽管有问题,但是总的来说是不成熟的,容易斗的.

现在最重要的是全体家长要擦亮眼睛,不能让中文学校再成为某个人或集团的御用工具.

再揪一个大悠说的可怜的丫头已经没有什么意义了,当然死灰也不是没有可能复燃的.

周琳到底是真不想干了呢,还是虚晃一枪?大家这样骂她已经一个多月也没见她觉得又不想做的意思。这次怎么会这么突然呢?即让不想干了为什么还装模作样地还坐在前面?我总觉得她还在搞鬼。

Anonymous said...

周琳到这一步别人有责任,主要问题还在她自己,是她自己有病。虽然不是医生,可是从她这一个月的所作所为,尤其是周六的表现上,我都能看出她是个chronic Liar 。一定要看医生,要不然以后吃亏更大。

对于她的问题,觉得战略上要藐视:她不参选已成事实,无需讨论.

鉴于她这一团队惯用"牛皮战术",战术上不能放松警惕,一有动向,坚决打击.

昨天,她就是先退,让大家泄气,然后借回答问题推卸责任,美化自己.不知是预谋,还是人性的自然流露.

She still has not realized what damages she has done to our Chinese community. She excused herself for being young and having no experience.Is this the problem of being young or inexperienced? This is moral and ethnic issue.She has no heart and love at all.

别了,刘景浩!别了,22 人集团!

从"董事会欺负我"的哭声中;出于对校长感恩谢惠;感到自已在中文学校做了些义工;气宇宣昂的纠集了:刘某,田某,李某,李某,胡某(此君乃弱智,竟由此混入董事会),那某(此君乃公认不逻辑)。拼凑了22 个精英组成的"中顾委",揭竿而起,赤膊上阵,好不风光一时。

结果,牙给打碎了,咽到肚子里。脸给打肿了,是"咱刘爷就想胖"

· 22 人集团把学校搞的空前混乱,你刘景浩该负什么责任?!

· 可怜的周琳落到今天这步田地,你刘景浩又该负什么责任?!

· 如此众多的豪杰跟着你受冤,大批优秀人才跟着周琳辞职,你刘景浩应该负什么责任?!

· 西北中文学校空前深度分裂,你刘景浩当负什么责任?!

22 人集团给中文学校做牛做马三年能偿还你等的债。你给中文学校做一辈子牛马也偿不起你造成的损失。

走了便算了,大家把你们早点忘了还好。

这次家长大会,曹老师得分最高。她懂法律(可以节省中文学校聘请法律顾问的费用),在中文学校教书接近10年,我觉得,她的家长投票得分最高,是有道理的,群众都不是傻子嘛。这本来是西北中文学校走上制度化、法治化的机会。可是周琳塞在董事会的那几个人还不死心,他们怕以后玩弄不了这个懂法律的曹老师,竟然现在还想死灰复燃,冒天下之大不违,拱周琳再出来继续当校长。我在此强烈要求:

1。董事会选校长的过程必须公开。
2。其中投票纪录必须详细地说明谁投的什么票。
3。每个董事必须说明投赞成、反对或弃权票的理由。
4。董事会必须公开在Payroll的名单。

周琳代表了一小撮人的利益,用中文学校的钱形成了一个小利益集团。她一点都不值得我们的同情。各位家长必须睁大眼睛,严防此利益集团劫持(hijack)中文学校!假如我们家长老师的舆论监督制止不了他们这几个人,那么,还有最后一道也是最坚固的防线,那就是联邦法律!到时候你周琳一伙就必须解释为什么从中文学校暑期班拿走的那一万多美元不是excess benefit了!

上边这位家长说得好,孙本经就是个伪君子。他女儿只是一个高中生, 根本没受过美术专业训练, 就通过周琳的关系来中文学校教画画, 这简直是误人子弟。按照中文学校的规定, 任何老师的亲属是不能竟选董事会, (有利益冲突), 可他硬是厚着脸皮, 想方设法钻进了董事会。一面高喊着什么基督徒啊, 什么为中文学校好啊, 一面护着周琳坑害中文学校。在周六听证会上竟然义愤填膺地教训起全体老师和家长来了。本来大家还不知道最后一封匿名信竟将周琳她告到了LWTC 和洲教育部门, 经孙本经那么一激动, 却搞得人人皆知, 真不知道他是在帮周琳, 还是在害周琳。

我们全体家长要擦亮眼睛,不能让中文学校再成为象孙本经这样披着羊皮的豺狼的御用工具。他要是胆敢有一点不公正的行为, 我们就要罢免他的董事会的资格。让他的阴谋永远不能得逞。

to quote L. Chen, as a public figure at NWCS Sun Benjing should be cautious about what he says at the Open Hearing. When he accused those parents of wrong doing, he was not speaking in the capacity of a Board Member. it was only his own personal opinion.

Concerned parent2 said...

I think 刘景浩 and Liang Lu Ping did many great things for our school, among them is the last hearing. Without their effort we would not have that geart hearing on Saturday at all. I think it is the frist step of NWCS to have a more transparant system.

Anonymous said...

I just want to make one comment:

During the open hearing, after current principal announced that she will not be a candidate for the next principal, a parent asked the question about whether or not we should still give our scores under current principal's name. I don't remember exactly who but at least one of the hosts said we should still give the scores - this is totally not making any sense to me - why do we need to give scores to someone who is not a candidate anymore and what kind logic is that?

As far as I know some of the parents still gave the scores and a lot of them didn't. So to follow the common sense and right logic, and to avoid further confusion and argument, I strongly suggest that the board should discard any scores (good or bad) given to two of the non-candidates (one didn't even show up and the other announced not to be a candidate). Only the scores for the 3 official candidates shall be tallied and only these 3 candidates shall be considered when the board is voting for the next principal.

I sincerely hope the board will consider parents' inputs, respect current principal's decision and be fair to all 3 official candidates as you are making decisions for our next principal.

Zhou, Lin is out

Pay attention to the two retired board members - Jim Miao & Charlie Wang. They were out but can re-enter the board.

Recent blames on almost all board members but Nancy, Simon & Peter (?) is to build steps for them to come back?!

People blamed with names by annonymous emailers either on this blog or targetted email distribution list are:

Hu, June
Hu, Zhihua
Li, Mingqi
Li, Zheng
Liang, Luping
Liu, Jinghao
Na, Jay
Pan, Hongye
Sun, Benjing
Tian, Hongqi
Zhang, Simon
Zhou, Lin

Names never been touched:

Miao, Jim
Wang, Charlie (Zhidong)
Wong, Nancy

Are they GODS/Goddess??!!!

Anonymous said...

Wong, Nancy's mom was on NWCS payroll last year. Ask her to confirm.

Anonymous said...

Nancy's mom has never been on the payroll for even a day. She did received a pay check from the school to recognize her time to help on the art show stuffs and custum purchases. There is a big difference between "on the payroll" and paid by one time service delivered.

This was precisely what Zhou Lin lied to the school trying to defame Nancy.

Anonymous said...

The costumes used by NWCS shows were bought by Nancy's mom. She purchased them in China. Also, she spent a lot of time for the school and the parents. It is reasonable for NWCS to issue her some compensation. And, this compensation was initiated by Zhou Lin herself. Zhou Lin used this as an excuse for not providing the financial report to the board. The board is not just Nancy herself but 9 persons, right?

As for Jim Miao and Wang Zhidong, as what as I know, these two guys were trying to let the board set up some financial regulations so the school can follow, but their effort failed because of Zhou Lin's objection. So they just retire.

As for the names blames (above), some were not appropriate (such as Sun Benjing). Some were just fooled by ZhouLin, such as Li Mingqi and Hu Zhihua. I don't know much about Liang Luping and Liu Jinghao.

Wang Nancy is definitely the best board member. When Zhou Lin threatened the board using the LWTC housing issue, Nancy and Simon volunteerily went out and found two more sites as the backups for NWCS so the school won't become homeless.

Anonymous said...

Also, Zhou Lin is not 36/37. She is 40 this year, as I discovered in the net. It is easy to see: these couple went to college in 1985, so they are properly born around 1967.

Anonymous said...

By your opinion, Nancy may be the best board member...

Please clarify -

1. How many pay check(s) did Nancy's mom receive from NWCS?
2. The pay check you mentioned was a reimbursement check for her purchase of custums in China or complimentry for her service to NWCS New Year party?
3. If for the party, why only she received such a recognition/reward but not all the other volunteers involved?
4. In addition, Nancy's family was the biggest beneficiary of NWCS New Year party as 1/4 of the show was presented by her family members. Even the pizza provided for the performers and volunteers were ordered from the restaurant run by her familu member.

We are waiting for someone to say something irresponsibly here, and let him or her take the responsibilities for what they will have been saying and doing.

Anonymous said...

something I do not understand about the accusation of Nancy. so her family members presented 1/4 of the show, and her family became a beneficiary of the New Year Party? and people are complaining about that? I would think her family did a great thing by contributing so many shows to the Party. speaking for myself, I would rather sit there watching the show rather than going up on the stage. or is it because some people are different from me, they love to be on stage....

Anonymous said...

I am not an insider, and I just put here what I heard from the other parents. As for your questions, for #1 and #2, I don't know. For #3, that is my opinion just among the board members, although I am not familiar with them. I just feel Nancy was sincerely for the good of NWCS. Of course, I also highly value all volunteers in/outside of the board.

For question #4, even Nancy and her mom joined several shows in the new year party, they are approved by Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin had the final say. And, everyone knows Nancy and her mom are good at art, so I think it is nature. If you can present a good program, you are more than welcome to show it to us. So I don't agree you use the word "beneficiary". Why is it not a volunteer work?

As for the Pizza, I don't know whether it was indeed from her family's restaurant, or just your effort to discredit her. Even it was indeed from her family's restaurant, the school could have got a discount, which meant they made contribution to the school. Even the price is normal market value, it could be someone else ordered the pizza and it had nothing to do with Nancy. In summary, from your words, you couldn't prove that Nancy tried to use her power for her personal gain. Zhou Lin did. I feel you are the person trying to 抹黑别人、把水搅浑。

very good point, Jason. some people are trying to change the subject here.

I don't even know how Nancy looks like until 6/9 hearing. I can sense that she is definately a good person since the first email ZL sent out, through all the comments people mentioned in this blog. I am not a insider at all, I believe most parents share my view of Nancy.

Anonymous said...

I share the same view with you about Nancy.

I have only known her for a short time, my impression is she is a very honest,respectful and intelligent person.

Anonymous said...

I am definitely with you. As an outsider I just heard of Nancy, but didn't recognize her until last Sat when she bravely stood out and argued with Zhou Lin, I carefully listened to her every word, I could tell with my first sense she was a great woman, she was doing for our School's interest. As for those bias on her Mom, custumes, pizza etc, to me they were the proof of the contribution to NWCS from Nancy's family, her Mom was a great lady as well and definitely deserves to get compensated. I recommend stopping finger pointing and concentrate our efforts on how to rebuid NWCS after Zhou Lin is out.

Its awfully suspicious that when the board was deciding whether to hand the anonymous emails filled with profanity to the authorities, Nancy and Simon were strictly against it.

Seems suspicious no?

But thats ok, because the deal was that if another L Chen or other anonymous email is sent, then the case will automatically get directed to the police department.

有关匿名信有两层含义:

一,发匿名信是否违反法律,我相信大家都知道此界限很模糊.至于没有实质性的谩骂,讽刺的匿名信大概也不会引起法律部门的重视.如果大家有幸去美国那些大范围的博克,论坛看看,骂的花哨的多了,但是没人介意.至于象与这个博克类似的专题博客管理,管理员可是非常苛刻,觉得不妥的言论,立删没商量.

二,如果匿名信涉及实质内容而且真实,我想司法机关介入,可能会对被攻击者更不利.当然如果实属诬陷,又当别论了.

总之,咱们中文学校这点儿事,估计FBI或SPD根本不会感兴趣,即使报告了,也不会被立案调查.

如果任何指控可以提供对未来犯罪可能性的预测,也许会引起重视.相信大家真有这方面的意识时,99%参与此事的人员都跺到爪哇国去了.

Great article regarding non-profit org. Quoting:

Provide Employees Multiple Avenues to Report Concerns
While employees will hopefully feel comfortable raising concerns directly with their supervisors, many employees are reluctant to raise concerns with line management for fear of retaliation, especially where their concerns pertain to unethical or illegal conduct by their line managers. Therefore, nonprofits should provide several options for employees to raise concerns, including the option of raising a concern anonymously.

NWCS's dirty laundry was already leaked with L Chen sent this letter to LWTC. According to L Chen, because LWTC is a public school from taxpayer's money, then such people like Zhou Lin should be an employee.

If a state school like LWTC should get involed and know the mess in NWCS, why shouldn't Washington state's board of education also know about the mayhem? Why shouldnt proper authorities also be informed?

I see somebody else has copied and pasted here from that LINK.

That anonymously raising a concern is an option provided by the Not-for-Profit ORG itself as I understand, you can't really tell how it should be executed. So, whenever referring any source to backup an opinion, we have to understand it thoroughly.

就算有本事把那个人找出来,你们董事会对人家说什么啊?难道是谢谢? 不过那个/些人也的确帮了你们个大忙!

澄清一下,我之所以认为那封信不该发是因为我相信学校有能力解决周琳的问题,不需要依靠外面的力量。虽然不支持,但我不觉得发信的人有什么错, 他/他们可能对学校的信心没有我大。董事们怎么想呢?你们有信心吗?

NWCS should also have a "Whistleblower Protection Policy":
A policy to encourage staff and volunteers to come forward with credible information on illegal practices or violations of adopted policies of the organization. The policy specifies that the organization will protect the individual from retaliation. It also identifies those staff or board members or outside parties to
whom such information can be reported. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires all entities—including
nonprofit organizations—to protect whistleblowers identifying certain types of financial misconduct against retaliation.

"董事会的人都认为发信不应该,我也一样同意。可是你们该做事的时候干什么了?现在又是,这么多天了,周六的结果也不公布,学校这么多事情有待于解决,帐是否清楚也没个交待,却忙着找匿名信的人,他们到底在做什么?"

Seriously, there are sitll quite a lot of parents and teachers who care about the future of this School also wondering if the current board is getting the priority straight?!

It is very dispointing that the board has not providing the public the result of financial inquiry and audit. Why the board cannot take the steps needed to get the detail financial data from the admininistration is really beyond my compenhensation. The explanation provided in the board's last letter (6/1/2007) with subject line of "Clarifications -- Please read" sent to the NWCS community makes little sense, in my humble opinion. Can anyone with some legal, accounting or management background or experience, explained to us, why is the board, as a governing body of NWCS, cannot access the payroll data from the prinicipal? according the 6/1 letter, quote: "Due to privacy considerations, the Board and Zhou Lin agreed to a) obtain consent from each teacher to release his/her Payroll data: b) seek professional legal advice on how to deal with this issue. We will proceed according to the professional legal guidance." Can Board now tell us according to "professinal legal guidance", what information the board cannot obtain from the principal? Under the current by-law and financial guidance posted on the NWCS website, which provsion expressly exclude other board memebers to review the detail fianacial data from the school adminsatration as the 6/1 letter stated?, again quote, "3. Only Nancy Wong from the Board will have the privilege to view any Payroll related data in our Board and the data will be protected securely." we all know at the 6/9 public hearing, the principal stated that she refused to hand over the detailed books and records to treasurer Nancy wong because her parent was being paid by the school"; but why other board members cannot take over Nancy's duty in this particular instance? it really puzzled me. as a regular parent became aware of the school's current chao, I visited this board looking for some meaningful discussions and answers which address our school's urgent issues. I see some good positive ideas and proposals on how to improve our school, but have not seem anyone answer the questions/issued mentioned above. Can any of our talented parents and teachers out there please provide people like me some professional explanation and response on the questions above?

As for the principal hiring, if the Board, after careful consideration of relevant factors concluded that there is not well qualified person suitable for the job among existing canditates, please communicate with parents and teachers timely and take prompt steps to solicit more candidates from the public. Spending all the valuable time, energy and resources tracking down those anonymous emails, though in rare instance may be justified and warranted, would not solve urgent needs NWCS faces.

I am worry that the Board's lack of timely action(s) will risk The Board losing the whatever trust and patience the parents and teachers may still have. It would not be surprised to see the disappointed parents and teachers opted for other schools come next fall, if they sense that the leadership of the NWCS are not taking the right steps addressing the Schools urgent problems.

Again, I strongly urge the Board memebers take some time to review the wealth of informaton available online regarding the legal and ethical duties a No For Profit organization director should poss and ask himself or herself why you run for the board in the first place.

It is really sad to witness the wonderful NWCS community getting into current mess and feel helpless...

I am just as lost as you, the person above me. I share all the concerns and worries too.

I don't think Zhoulin was the problem any longer. BThe problem was and is the board, who never really cared the welfare of our school.

You wouldn't get any progress if LZ, PHY, HZH are in the board. SBJ is so so, marginal useful.

Now, PTA chairwoman is crazy about the picnic. She chased all the board members to take leadership on volunteering picnic work. Crazy woman. Crazy thinking.

What Zhoulin said in the election meeting is not true. We have solved the conflict of interest of teacher Xiang and Nancy Wong. Because Teacher’s is not on the payroll anymore. Same issue for the board member SunBenJin has also been solved. This is not the reason Zhoulin has been holding the payroll information. Her excuse was she couldn’t release payroll to board due to privacy reason. She asked board member sign a confidential agreement with her before she could release the information. After we consulted with school lawyer, there shouldn’t be any question for board to obtain financial data including payroll info from her. We then sent final request to her and accountant. Accountant immediately released all payroll info to me. I am doing audit right now. I have report a couple of issues to board. But so far, Board hasn’t decided to release any audit result to school members. If you like to know the details, I will ask board what level of detailed payroll info we can release to public as this is sensitive information. Please send email to dongshi02@nwchinese.org as formal request. I can’t answer questions based on an anonymous message from the blog.
