Robert, Thanks for the response. As you may know, I don't think God has much, if any doing in our…Read More day to day results. We have free will.
And that mean the good and bad while we are alive, is up to us.
And now for a shocker. I don't believe in hell. If you were God, would you set up a world where misdeeds, and mistakes of your invention meant you may send them to burn forever! If your dog bit someone, would you torture it in eternity?
It is a bit hard for me to justify hell with a loving God.
I respect your opinion, and enjoy the conversations.

Yes, I watched those speeches....Flowery with no substance...The Ive lEAGUE SCHOOLS ARE HOT BEDS OF…Read More SOCIALIST PHILOSOPHY, it appears. On a lighter note, I googled the intersection of Fair Oaks and the Pasadena Fwy. yesterday and the old apartment bldg where I lived is still there. Talk about pointless info.......

If PARENTS of children in SPUSD donated money multiple times a years {as I did/do} then maybe it…Read More would ease some hardships in the classroom but they DON'T. There's a small circle of parents that always give because they can. That's good thing but it shouldn't always be on their backs. EVERY parent should give money to SPUSD. Every dollar counts!

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?

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.

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.
