The Bible says the "Church" is the body meaning every Christian in the entire world. Our purpose for living is to be Christ-like and serve God completely. The first Century church, in it's beginning, never had or was intended to have buildings, paid pastors, staff, etc. It was to BE the Church. We have gotten so far from whats really important.

Teachers going on strike (or the politically correct term: sickout). And the teachers are concerned for the kids and that's why they are doing this? Keep negotiating like everyone else does. They have been working on a contract for a relatively short period of time and they are already frustrated? Does anyone know the issue with the Rock County employees...some of them who have been without contracts for up to six years! You want to talk about WRONG and frustrating. They all keep working because they have to! It all makes me ill.

<teachers unions and other critics say the schools take away money from traditional ones>
Money. What is the motivation of the teachers' unions to continually attack virtual academies? The answer is clearly not in the interest of the students, many of whom are "thriving for the first time" or the taxpayers as virtual schools are less expensive to operate. What would a teacher in a traditional brick-and-mortar school give to have each of their students' parents commit to four hours of involvement every day? Shame on the unions for being so obviously and incredibly self serving rather than putting the needs of students and fiscal responsibility to taxpayers (read: parents) first.
To garyprimer, there is nothing "right" about parents remaining "loyal to their school district" if it is failing their children and nothing selfish about parents going out of their way to secure the best education possible for their children. Why would you consider it noble to sacrifice children on the alter of mediocrity? It is horribly inconvenient to "ship their children to other districts" and is done for the betterment of their children which is ultimately the parents' responsibility, not their neighborhood's or the schools or the state.
Competition is precisely what is necessary to begin the difficult task of improving the education system currently so fraught with failure. And, obviously, competition is precisely what scares teachers' unions to death.

Not only were taxes raised, but our vehicle registration and license renewal went up significantly. The budget stalls for months and then, without going back to the taxpayers for review, our representatives slip in their own agenda and we pay for it. Atleast Doyle saw through the insanity with the alcohol provision.

Deltafox5674,
It's news because those involved want to be praised for the investment, beautiful building, and be recognized for all their contributions. There is a place for church buildings but what do we do after we leave the doors???
