Chula Vista school hurries to get ready for Arne Duncan
Wow...way to accuse and assume before I even have a chance to respond! Just because you may disagree with me that an inspirational environment can make an impact and help create an academic culture where college becomes an assumed destination, it doesn’t naturally follow that we will forever be on opposing sides. I’m clearly new to posting here, but there seems to be a lot of “them” vs. “us” going around. One post and I’m suddenly on “their” side? But to your point, I have heard about the "Bleisch Dawgs" and on this I do agree with you. I think it's a misguided attempt to "relate" to young teens. I used to do a lot of work with youth and found that respect and authenticity go a lot further. I can't profess to be an expert on Mr. Bleisch, having only met him on a few occasions, and while I think his ego is large, he has also impressed me as a hard worker who is a big champion for his students.— September 6, 2013 5:05 p.m.

Once again, the author of this article seems to seek to mislead. Attendance review boards are comprised of many individuals, including reps from social services. They take place throughout the district...not just for this school. The goal is to figure out what the barriers to attendance are and hopefully assist the family.— September 4, 2013 11:45 p.m.

If anyone has been paying attention, the changes going on at CPM have been in the works for the past year...college banners, fresh paint, and an overall upgrade to the look and feel of the school help to create an uplifting and inspiring atmosphere to learn in, and a school kids (and the community) are proud of. This article seems to imply that all of this is simply a show for Arnie Duncan...whose visit wasn't even scheduled until roughly 6 weeks ago. This article is an exercise in taking a handful of facts, personal bias, and a bad attitude to spin another negative story that does nothing but rile people up. Funny that the first parent who responds (someone ACTUALLY involved and trusting her children to this school) has nothing but great things to say about the RESULTS. And isn't that what really matters?— September 4, 2013 11:33 p.m.
