This is sad and angering. Supers seem to cursed with a strain of lowsy. This is when the people en…Read More masse need to stand up for the teachers and start their own pot of relief until the over due raise comes on line.

Thanks for the gesture. I'm one of those South Pas teachers. It would also be nice if you could ask…Read More the superintendent, now that we have historically high reserves (thanks partly to teachers taking on more work and receiving no raise for five years) and stable financing from the state, could we please now get a cost of living increase? He's refusing to allow us to negotiate this matter.

Why teachers pay for supplies and how to help are two different questions. Which one do you mean?…Read More They pay because they are quality teacherw who want their studants to get the best they can give. How we can help does not require new programs as to how help can be given. This would open the door for how can we help people who want to help. Answer: stick you hand into your pocket and give the teacher a five or ten. Simple, isnt it?

If by "learning loss" is meant student forgets what he has learned, then I would guess…Read More that there was no learning at all, but a memorization of facts given. If by learning loss is meant there was a gap where no curricula was given, then that is just the point of Summer Break. Learning other non class room subjects such as what a hike in the forest has to offer..a trip to the beach...reading a good book. Just sitting under a tree and enjoying. My first impression of LearnBop was it was learning how to dance the Bop to Little Richard or Bill Hailey. Now, that is something even I could get into.

I cant tell you where I live....you would ban my posts ! But, my childhood roots are in Glendale,…Read More but I have many pleasant memories of the Pasadena Winter Garden where I used to skate when I has about twelve (1950). I was playing with puberty and oh, the girls in their shortie dresses and legs....There was such a romantic feel to the place. I think I recall a circular wood burner in which there was a fire going on cold days and nights. I still have a punch card showing I was a member of the Penguin Club. There is an area in Glendale that has a peculiar feel to it and it is between Virginia and Mountain....roughly between Ruberta and Central. This isnt Pasadena, of course. That area was my stomping grounds in the 40's. Right there, I thought...it was right there where we talked and laughed....under the light of a street lamp..she was so very cute and precocious. All gone away so long ago..I "heard" her laugh in a capricious breeze that sprang, up...also carrying the scents of Jasmine...So many stories like this in Pasadena too. The people who came and went, but left in their wake a presence like a fire fly's glowing arc.
