How Arthur Levitt Helped Ruin US Economy The crimes which Levitt helped cover up in his capacity as Chairman of the American Stock Exchange and later as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have helped destroyed the financial power of America. When America is relegated to “developing world” status because of the ruinous greed of the Wall Street elite, China and other countries shall erect a statue of people like Arthur Levitt thanking him for protecting his friends at the expense of America. There are many financial scandals that should have been exposed long ago. Perhaps some of the financial meltdown would have been prevented. Let’s go through a few examples. The mainstream press, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, have refused to examine the connection between Cohmad and Fairfield Greenwich and the American Stock Exchange (AMEX). This has been done to protect Arthur Levitt. The destruction of the American way of life and its inherent values of fair play and compassion for the poor mean nothing to the press barons that own The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. ... |

She said she couldn’t remember the name but that it sounded like a dog breed and that it was used for joints on large animals such as horses. It turned out it is called “Bigeoil” and it is pronounced “beagle oil”.

Western Middle School was the lowest scorer of all of the town's three middle schoolsThe achievement gap between disadvantaged students of Western Greenwich and their wealthier peers continues to grow.
The wide gulf between white and Hispanic high schoolers grew wider between 2008 and 2009.
The percentage of white students reaching goal jumped from 83 percent to 87 percent, while the percentage of Hispanics at that level declined from 54 percent to 47 percent.
The United States Department Of Justice has inquired about Hamilton Avenue School and they are going to be back if the Greenwich Board Of Education continue to refuse to fix the failing schools in Western Greenwich.

....But while the start of the school year is about a bright outlook, it's important to see with clear eyes.
Greenwich schools are still not where they need to be. Results of last spring's Connecticut Academic Performance Test are a good illustration. While 10th graders who took the test made strong progress, particularly in reading and science, overall results shouldn't be acceptable to anyone in a town like this one.
For example, even with a 10-point jump, only 71.4 percent of 10th graders reached the goal level in reading. On a report card that's a C-. ...
....Same goes for results on the Connecticut Mastery Tests, which students in grades three through eight took in the spring...... But this is not a B- town. Nor should it be a town in which only 73.1 percent of our elementary schoolers reach the goal in science.....
.....Yes, people have pride in this town. But if it's not continually earned and re-earned, it's merely hubris, and that's the way to failure. Across the board, excellence is the only standard a town like Greenwich should accept, in all things, but particularly its schools......
Now Hearst Newspaper Vice President Lincoln Millstein Blogs This.....
An excellent editorial in the Greenwich Time today has me thinking about schools at the dawning of the 2009-10 school year. Click here for article
Westport is No. 1. Nearby Fairfield - with more students (9494) - is ranked 26.
....Last but not least, my favorite topic, Greenwich High School, the misbegotten stepchild of the Greenwich political machine. GHS in my opinion is the single most visible and important public institution in Greenwich. It is either the beacon by which we measure our commitment to our children and community, or a blot symbolizing a wayward culture and broken system. Lately, it’s been the latter - especially under the current school board.
GHS ranked 26 in the state in its test scores...... .....12.7 percent of the GHS population is of hispanic origin and therefore greatly impacts the reading and writing of English in standardized testing...... .....Farmington High School came in ranked No. 7. Farmington HS has a subsidized lunch ratio of 4.6 percent, 4.6 percent African Americans and 3.1 hispanics.
....There is a silver lining: The miserable performance by the schools has exposed the school board in a public light like never before. In short Weissler et al, you’ve been busted.
