On Teacher faces new year, tough demands

Posted on September 6 at 8:22 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

A t-shirt? We're ragging on this teacher about a T-SHIRT? As long as the teacher's attire fits within the school dress code (and everyone at the school should be expected to follow it, both students and staff), I could care less what they wear. I'm more concerned with what and how my child is learning. And as for Ms. Werner, I think she looks approachable and friendly.

nicksmom: t-shirts, shorts and tennis shoes.....did your kids look like slobs at school, too?

I think his comment about women's bodies being able to prevent pregnancy is just about as offensive as the "legitimate rape" comment. It shows an astonishingly feeble grasp of science and biology.

I've lived in an area with the lidded carts and they actually work rather well. I like the fact it keeps recycling from blowing out of the current bins and all over the neighborhood. In general, the carts work fine but they CAN be pretty unsightly and they're big enough to make hiding them a project.

On Packers' stock sale under way

Bought my share this morning. I realize the stock itself is "for show", but I have been to Lambeau several times and love the stadium. I'm willing to have my little piece of the Pack and also help keep Lambeau the example of what a real NFl stadium should be.

On Roundabout plan takes next step

Posted on November 8 at 10:58 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

I live in the area and a roundabout at that intersection doesn't seem like a reasonable idea. Narrowing it down to two lanes from four has actually slowed things down a little bit and it's easier to get on and off the side streets. It's a busy road and a busy intersection. A roundabout would only serve ot back things up and lead to more problems, not less (but I do agree, not putting it in because "people can't understand roundabouts" is a weak excuse).
