I…Read More find myself fantasizing that an angry segment of our USAF bombs and strafes the white house and the capital. You may not buy into this, but I believe we are seeing God's response to our evil....materialism, greed, unholy alliances, mockery and refusal to adhere to His written word. He gave us the prettiest piece of real estate on earth, and has blessed us with a standard of living unknown before, Yet, we ignore him, blaspheme Him. What I have said will incur as much mockery of me as what you have said did to you. He is in the process of bringing His Word to fact. "They shall perish in their own corruption." So, I am in a grandstand of sorts, remembering our country when it adhered to His way and watching current events caused by our way.

Thank you but rather than ask South Pas residents to dig into their own pockets yet again, why not…Read More help teachers by using funds already available? We have historically high reserves and stable state funding for several years.The district refuses to even negotiate salary increases. As of the past week, the district also now refuses to negotiate reduced class size changes. The recent parcel tax was passed largely to ensure that class sizes would stay low. How is it they can take money from citizens promising this and then not follow through?

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.

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.
