On 3 Wisconsin teens arrested for burning racist symbols
Posted on September 2 at 7:58 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
What are you people saying? That it's ok to burn KKK & Nazi symbols into others' property? Are you serious? Vandalism should apply but those symbols are also hate symbols. They are anti-Jewish and anti-African American. The KKK and Nazis killed people because of their race. This is offensive to me - and I'm white just in case you're wondering. This is not just child's play. Shame on those kids.

Not good news - there goes privacy and any hope of a quality corporation, who wishes to keep their employees' earnings private, from bidding on this type of government job.

Highway robbery? You can work out at Anytime Fitness 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for only $1/day. That costs less than a cup of coffee! Sheesh...
On Janesville district to lay off 6 teachers
Posted on April 29 at 9:32 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
I thought we (taxpayers) just added onto and improved the art and phy. ed. areas at our local high schools by voting YES for the referendum. Now we are cutting teacher positions? Why did we bother to spend our money on these areas then? It now seems that our children will not even be able to take some of these classes considering that there will be fewer teachers available to teach the classes. This makes no sense to me.
On Freeze the teachers? Hard times raise hard question

Well, reading these posts makes me glad I resigned my position teaching in this district; however, I am also quite afraid for my children who are students in Janesville. Part of the reason I left my position is that teachers are treated terribly in this community. I didn't want to work for little to nothing AND take a load of crap from uneducated people who THINK they know what a teacher does all day. The major reason teachers leave their jobs is that they are underpaid AND unappreciated. I don't pretend to speak for all teachers, but I do know plenty who feel the same way and don't have other options in this economy. Many people in Janesville would just as soon raise their kids to be unskilled laborers and uneducated dumb @$$%$ than put the time in parenting their kids and taking responsibility for them learning something about the world they live in. Those people would prefer to log in here and "cry" about how their taxes are too high and their poor little children are unsuccessful and those "bad teachers" are to blame. Go ahead and keep bashing the teachers who work with your children! Go ahead and see what happens. The good teachers will leave and then where will you complainers be? You might want to think about that...or, if that takes you away from your tavern time, maybe you won't.
On Jail literacy program seeks tutors

Do we have a program like that in Janesville? If we don't, it's something that should be provided. Maybe it would help keep inmates from going back into jail once they're released.

A big pat on the back to Deri Wahlert. What a great program. As a former colleague of hers, I know she's working hard to make sure these kids' needs are filled. Great job!

I know two of the kids. I would gladly help this family. I am a former teacher and think we all need to come together to help these kids deal with this awful situation. I would love to help them. A & G - I am so sorry for your loss.
