Agulto’s nonsense

The second letter by Mr. Agulto was again just more nonsense. But I am compelled to write back because he is affecting the students in my classroom and they don’t like what he has said, especially when he is wrong. I’m really speaking for them because common sense tells me it is hopeless for Mr. Agulto. For a person that has never stepped into my classroom, he has a lot of nerve with no sense of judgment and I really feel sorry for him and the way he is making himself look to his people. Ignorance can be excused but there is no excuse for the constant public preaching of nonsense. It would be more forgiving if he was on a corner shouting his nonsense because we could excuse him as having a mental or social problem. He has only served to embarrass his fellow Chamorros and Carolinians because anyone with common sense would never make the nonsense assertions and raise doubts about my classroom if they had never been in my classroom. FYI, it is nonsense Mr. Agulto when you make assertions about my classroom and then turn around in the next paragraph and admit you “do not know exactly what the teacher does in the classroom.” Those are your exact words, Mr. Agulto.

In my 16 years of teaching in the CNMI, Mr. Agulto is the first and only one to challenge or complain about me as a teacher, which I’m sure the indigenous people can see this as nonsense. I don’t teach “hip hop” in any shape form or fashion and my students, my fellow teachers and my principal could have told Mr. Agulto if he had used his common sense and asked before writing more nonsense. He needs to know that the indigenous people who judge the Teacher of the Year competition have selected me twice as the second best teacher in the Commonwealth but Mr. Agulto must think they were full of nonsense for him to question me as a teacher. The federal government has chosen me twice to function in an educational capacity in Washington and in Mexico but again I guess Mr. Agulto thinks the feds were also full of nonsense. But I’m sure the indigenous people will exercise their common sense and agree with PSS, their own local judges and the U.S. Department of Education on the quality of my teaching before they agree with the nonsense of Mr. Agulto.

I don’t know and I’m sure no one else knows what he was talking about in reference to my agenda and he certainly didn’t say what my agenda was because there isn’t one, so I won’t even waste my time trying to make sense of his nonsense. I was glad to see he does recognize some of the positive things about the hip-hop culture. But I really have sympathy for Mr. Agulto because he really needs help bad. Like a child, he is totally confused about what is going on in my class and what he is talking about. He really needs to get educated about my classes if he is so concerned or take the nonsense somewhere else and stop offending students and the many indigenous people that truly appreciate me and my efforts.

FYI, Mr. Agulto, my children are Chamorro and, as their father, I have just as much vested interest in the CNMI as any indigenous person and I love the CNMI just as much as you do. Mr. Agulto just doesn’t like the fact that I’m not local and he doesn’t want to respect the fact that I have a vested interest in the CNMI equal to any indigenous person with children and I let it be known. I’m an advocate for the preservation of the indigenous cultures and I’m an advocate for the church but Mr. Agulto still continues with his nonsense based on nothing.

He is worried because I’m a good and well-known teacher who is teaching the core principles and values of America and there are clearly many conflicts with these values and principles in the CNMI starting with “equality.” I know he’s worried because he doesn’t want things like equality for everyone in the CNMI and he even wants only Chamorros and Carolinians living in the CNMI. I’m sure he doesn’t realize how insulting he was to every race of people in the CNMI, especially the Chamorros and Carolinians with relatives who are not indigenous. He just lost a lot of friends and made even more enemies with his nonsense.

Mr. Agulto only wants “his perspective” taught in school and whatever that is will surely be driven by bias and prejudice. He obviously doesn’t know that publishing companies don’t put nonsense in the textbook for us to teach. He writes like the only people in the future of the CNMI are local people, which is more nonsense that speaks volumes about the real problem Mr. Agulto has within himself and not with me—we call it nonsense and he is full of it.
