Condition: bleak
I wonder if those new board members ever wake up in the middle of the night thinking, " Oh lord, what I have I gotten myself into?"— January 16, 2015 5:35 p.m.
iPads are great for porn and video games
Every time I have attended a district iPad training a great deal of time has been wasted dealing with technical glitches. If the experts can't get them to work, how am I supposed to? We don't have enough time as it is for instruction.— November 5, 2014 3:40 p.m.
New blood for Sweetwater district?
Chad Peace is representing Cartmill without charge. Bertha is not paying him.— August 25, 2014 8:57 p.m.
33% of the profit? No problem — hey!
More legal fees.....and my classes number in the forties,,,,without air conditioning ....sigh....— August 1, 2014 5:51 a.m.
Cartmill for Sweetwater board — get real
Even if we give Jim the benefit of the doubt about his actions, it is his inaction that disqualifies him for running again. Unlike Bertha Lopez, who fought Gandara and Brand with a vengeance, Cartmill supported both of those men whose agendas did not include the education and welfare of our kids. Look at Cartmill's voting record. He supported the corruption!!!— July 18, 2014 6:49 a.m.
Cartmill for Sweetwater board — get real
and loses— July 18, 2014 6:43 a.m.
Gandara to go on 60-day lobster fast
Great title and article, Susan. Thank you for your invaluable reporting through out this quest for justice. Thank you also to the other members of the media and the five community heroes that have worked so diligently for the past four years. I absolutely agree that this next board election is crucial; we all need to commit to educating the voters of the South Bay so that we can elect members whose only agenda is our kids and the rebuilding of our district. We need a complete audit of the district's finances so that we know what debts we've been saddled with during this dark era of corruption, and we need knowledgeable board members to sift through the mire , clean out any remaining crooks and create a plan to hire new district leaders. Every student in this district has suffered because of the greed and arrogance of our leaders, whether they've been sentenced or still remain in positions of power. Our job is not over yet.— June 28, 2014 6:21 a.m.
John McCann for Chula Vista City Council? No, thanks
I'm hearing that McCann is going to speak at ALL of the Sweetwater graduation ceremonies this year. No wonder he wanted Cartmill and Lopez out of the way. We all know how he loves to grandstand.— May 15, 2014 8:15 p.m.
Guilty Trustees (is not, unfortunately, a band name)
A big thank you to you and your group that worked so hard and so long to clean up the corruption.— April 25, 2014 6 a.m.
Standardized tests shunned by South Bay parents
First of all, let's dispel the myth that corporations fostered:our educational system was broken. The US has some of the best universities in the world attended by graduates of our American public schools. We encourage all of our students to attend college, not just the high achievers. Corporations that stand to earn billions of dollars want the American public to believe that schools are failing so they can swoop in, take over and collect those tax dollars. Teachers and their unions have been vilified and blamed for a problem that doesn't exist. If you adjust scores for socioeconomics, American students outperform their peers in other countries. Poor kids , who are kicked out of school in other countries, can't compete with their wealthier classmates but at least they have an opportunity here. Private schools and charter schools skim off the high achieving kids, ignoring special ed students, English learners and the poor. Don't label us as failing because we attempt to educate all students. Other countries don't even try.— April 10, 2014 6:36 p.m.
