/me really needs to get back into posting more.
So it’s been up and down the past week or so. I’ve been on my hiding a bit because of drama etc. We’ve also had no customers at the photography studio (luckily we’re not renting somewhere else for that) and Dancing for Vie has been insane.
I officially am NOT working at HKE anymore. Why you may ask? Well here you go:
One of the teachers is not only bipolar, but has worn bits on her around children during camp and ran around a sim screaming that she was going to kill herself.
Another teacher acts immature and breaks rules students are supposed to follow nearly every school day, not only that but has harassed students outside the classroom and has played dirty during elections on her kid alt.
Ooh the elections. The president campaigned way dirty and even totally trashed one of the teachers houses (she moved around furniture because she had mod rights and added other things) and taped it/put it on youtube and all she had to do was apologize. She also has harassed students in the past as well as played dirty during her campaign.
Did I mention most of the staff have kid alts that go to school? Well they do. As I’ve heard the principal and vice principals kid alts are captains of the dance team. Does that seem fair? I think not.
The dance team/cheerleading coach let a girl on the cheer squad without a tryout. Who is that girl? Lyvia’s alt. She also adopted her.
The kids don’t learn anything. They have like an hour of class. Most of it is trying to calm the kids down or waiting for kids to come in. The rest of school is recess/gym/lunch. I understand recess- that’s for clubs, but gym and lunch? It’s too laggy on that sim to do anything and WE DON’T NEED TO EAT IN SL! These three things make up over an hour of school time. Not only that but during class they learn things like weather, adding decimals, etc…. ummm we kind of already did that in RL!!! I understand it’s supposed to simulate a real school- but seriously- you can do that while teaching things worth knowing in SL like building or scripting. Sorry- but I find it a HUGE waste of 2 hours, it’s basically only there for socialization.
I’m obviously not going to take my kids out of there- but I ain’t going back there and don’t want to touch it with a 10 foot pole- sorry wayyyyyyyy too corrupt for my taste.
If anyone from HKE cares about what I wrote- tough shit. All of this I found out from word of mouth so I’m pretty sure the entire school knows- I’m just stating it out loud for everyone else to hear. Don’t IM me about it- it won’t be taken off my page. Suck it up and open your eyes. If you IM me in world about it- I’ll mute you. Plain and simple. No names were stated (other than Lyvia’s- but that acct is cancelled and I didn’t state her alts name) so only those involved with HKE will know who I’m talking about- unless you feel like digging and finding out who I’m talking about.

NEW TOPIC!
OK while I’m ranting I may just keep going on another thing
SICKEZE HUD
For those that are not involved in the child avie roleplay.. this is the HUD that has swept the kid world!
My daughter Ami wrote a consumer report here… but I’m going to write my own little rant about it.
This little HUD you attach will help you ‘roleplay’ being sick. Ok first of all, why the hell would you want to get sick in SL? That’s the BEAUTY of SL- you AREN’T sick (that’s why I’m in it ffs)
Ok Ok so part of being a kid is getting sick I get it… but let me go on.
Sicknesses spread. If you are near another kid with the SICKEZE HUD and they are sick, you can catch that (such as a cold or flu or bronchitis). The infection rate however is INSANE. Danni caught bronchitis from Ami from 10 meters away!! And there’s very little time kids spend not sick if they are always around kids. There is an “immune” state which is like 4 or 5 hours or something, but that isn’t much if you are ALWAYS on SL.
Speaking of this “immune” state… this goes for things like appendicitis. I know a kid that got her appendix out TWICE! How the hell does that happen? Did they take her spleen out by accident the first time and so her appendicitis cured and then she got it again and they took the right thing out this time? Did she just grow a new appendix? Ok, I understand catching the cold more than once- but that is insane.
You can also break arms etc. This seems decent. Danni broke her arm falling 500m… now theoretically she should have DIED but at least she broke something… but a friend of mine broke her arm from using a deruthing rocket… another just by running into a wall.
I think there may be some bugs to work out in this thing.
It’s also a whopping 500L. Sorry, I find it a total waste of money. You can roleplay sicknesses better than this thing. (Where did roleplaying go anyways?? Has it really gotten to the point where you need a HUD to help you roleplay!?)

OK I’m done I promise. Next post will be a little less insane, hopefully. Can’t promise anything though.
Tootles!
