On No apple for these teachers

Posted on February 24 at 12:46 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

Thank you for writing this. I share many of these feelings but have been afraid to voice them. I too am a former teacher and am disgusted by the behavior being exhibited. I recall asking not to join the union and was told that "it wasn't a good idea as all the other teachers are in the union"; therefore, being bullied into having unwanted dues withdrawn from my check. I also recall teachers trying to dissuade me from reporting another teacher in our school due to her behavior and lack of classroom control. I did report her, but had the union found out about it...whoa nelly.

I would also just like to add my support for Dr. Walczak. I worked with him as a student teacher and as a teacher for three years. He was always helpful, had the kids' best interests at heart, and was warm and understanding. I wish him nothing but the best.

Really? Are you that insensitive that you are making light of the death of an innocent teenage boy? I'm ashamed to call you fellow citizens.

On Evansville parents upset over poms uniform changes

I completely agree that many of these uniforms/costumes are becoming too revealing. While I'm sure it is frustrating to change policy, they did state they could still wear them at competition, where it is more appropriate. They even offered to buy new tops. I think there are too many people who are looking for a fight and want to make a scene the minute there's something established that they don't agree with. You can't always have your way, and sometimes, the other way is what is best.

On Swine flu spreads through area

24 and under haven't been exposed to this strain, so being 29, I have been? I don't remember anything regarding this strain when I was younger.

On Parents, board question if Chinese program should be mandatory

Posted on September 29 at 8:30 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

In an attempt to perhaps make yourself feel "more sophisticated", you choose to read into what I write how you wish. However, I certainly don't have an issue with learning another language, as a matter of fact, I have taught and tutored students in these subjects. What I have an issue with is the fact that CHOICE is absent. Although, I'm sure someone will find a way to twist this one as well and assume I am a token "Janesville citizen", or however you wish to phrase it.

Wow Janesville...you just keep doing things that are really......for lack of a better word, but I think it fits nicely.....STUPID. Enough said.

On Health care on council agenda—again

Posted on September 27 at 8:25 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

Are residents allowed to voice their opinion on endorsing health care? If the council is preparing to support it "as the city", I would assume so. Is this correct?
