The Report cards are out: Chet Beedle

To: The parents, guardians, (employers) of Chet Beedle.
Re: Report Card
From: The School of Life
(don't let him hide it either, we know he will try)

(picture of Chet Beedle eyeing the potential money from the auxilliary fund)

Chet came to the school with a group of students called BRIM back in 2000.
There were some problems at the school at that time because of a construction project gone wrong, but Chet and his friends managed to wriggle their way into the coffers of the school while claiming to be fixing the problems.
The staff explained to Chet that he and his friends were costing the school much money and and teachers lost their jobs over this.
Finally, Chet broke off with his friends, and decided to stay at the school. He finally admitted that his friends from BRIM were not good guys and had done little to help the problems. In fact, they had gotten away with hiring an unqualified principal just before they left.
Chet who was then very lonely, took up with the new Principal, and they stuck together like glue.
In fact, Chet liked her so much, he attacked other students on her behalf. One student who complained about chet and his sidekick, was berated and they took his student records and showed them to everyone.
Chet found two more friends to hang out with, Brad "the bully" Armstrong, and Bobby "jaws" Jamison.
The four of them literally took over the school.
Teacher: Chet has shown me he can compute numbers, but sometimes they just don't make sense. He argues constantly that these numbers are correct, but will not allow the teacher to see his work in its entirety. We have had problems with his friends copying his homework and not doing their own work, which is their "due diligence."
Business: Chet appeared to be eager to go into business but had problems with the textbook. In business one wants to make money, not just cut out jobs, but Chet didn't agree at all with this approach. As he worked on the computer models of business, like say a hospital with a nursing facility, he kept insisting that employees were the problem. His finished product is on the brink of bankruptcy, but Chet keeps disagreeing.
Business: F (failure)
Business Contracting: Chet worked on several contracts for services, and overpaid most of the contractors. He and his friends, hired on these contractors without any knowledge of their practices or background. We explained to Chet that doing this would cost the business too much money it doesn't have already. But Chet argues well, and we have let this go on for years. Recently Chet decided to try and make good on these losses, but he still tries to make us think the outside staffing is on the up and up. We still don't understand why he argues that there is no paperwork to support his claims.
Business: D (Disloyal)
Getting along with others: Chet has shown he needs his group to protect him from the other students who know his shady background. Recently, when it was disclosed that he owed money that might just take down the whole business, Chet agreed but went about keeping others from solving his problem. When another student concieved of a plan to save the business and had the backing of an assemblywoman, Chet did something really bad. He scared the student into believing there was no solution, and had her call off the governement and other help. We are so dissappointed in him. And this isn't his first offense, he went after a clinic and tried to get out of a gentleman's agreement.
F- (he's no gentleman)
Fundraising: When Chet came to us with the idea of using a general obligation bond as his fundraiser, we were surprised, but Chet was so excited he and his friends tried to put this together in all of two months. Chet claimed that this was basically free money that people in the community would be paying for years. He snickered when he said, that it would be a small amount on their taxes, and that the school would benefit. He said that he could collect this money and it could be written off if the school did another construction project. However, Chet's building project was created by his friends who were not very good at this kind of thing. But the Principal backed this idea and they went to town fundraising anyway. However, during this time, Chet was not paying attention to his homework and things fell behind. And his friends and the Principal were busy pushing the bond. Unfortunately, during this time, Chet let everything go, and stopped doing his work. Chet even went on TV with his friend "Jaws" trying to convince people that the bond was the only way to "save" the school from the government regulations. When his idea failed, he and the others found out they had real problems left behind from not paying attention in class. They found a way to play off the mistake, but other students knew the truth. And government officials found the mistakes too.
Conclusion: We can no longer tolerate the type of behaviors Chet has shown us in the past and he currently has a whole new set of excuses. The school has suffered enough, and now we must dismiss Chet so that the school is not shut down or taken over by students, like BRIM. We are sorry to inform you, Mrs. Beedle, but little Chet has been expelled.
