Local teacher defends his profession
Teachers like the police are expected to solve every societal problem. Teachers not only have to put up with the demands and expectations of parents they have to deal with administrators who, for the most part, get in the way of teaching. When I was going through grades 1-12 all the emphasis was on going to college. No one told me that I could make a good living with my hands. Because teachers all went to college that was all they knew. I went to college, because I was expected to, and I hated it. I quit and never looked back. I went to work doing the things I liked and became good at what I did. I learned the things I needed to to be successful. I retired at 55 with a good income, a paid for home and money in the bank. Education is important, not just college education, but all education. I don't see that anything has changed. Teachers and the useless administrators and corrupt education boards (Spring Valley Union School District come to mind) pay attention to only two groups: Those heading for college and Jocks. The rest are left to their own devices. Schools have cut almost all programs except sports. The teachers I remember are the ones that taught me pratical things that I would need in life. I have never needed to use Algebra— September 20, 2020 7:56 a.m.
A lot of taco trucks in Chula Vista
Great Idea! Oh, what about those brick and mortar stores? You know the ones that pay the taxes and have payroll.— September 20, 2020 7:42 a.m.
Chalk talk for Chief David Nisleit
All police should be evenly divided between all sections of the City. No area should get more or less service than any other area. Limit the kinds of calls that police respond to. Shoplifting should be Civil. Let the store owners provide their own security. Quality of life issues should be addressed by other City departments. Let the police respond only to serious calls where there are injuries, death and or weapons involved. Leave the mentally ill to Father Joe's etc.— September 20, 2020 7:40 a.m.
More sex harassment history behind Todd Gloria’s Capitol campaign cash
The one and only reason to vote for anyone but Todd Gloria is that Gloria voted to buy the SDG&E building. He and the City Attorney and everyone else who pushed this fraud through should be arrested and charged. They all belong in jail. I learned in the first week of Real Estate School that you must do due diligence. Anyone with more than a single digit IQ would never buy an asbestos filled building "as is" and pay more than the appraised value for it. I knew politicians were arrogant and stupid but San Diego has always had more than their fair share.— September 20, 2020 7:35 a.m.
Nature joins antifa, burns large swaths of California in protest
The Readers has gone off the rails. What a stupid article. For the less than brilliant it would seem that Antifa started the fires.— September 20, 2020 7:07 a.m.
Dumanis, spouse, and San Diego cop union back L.A. District Attorney Jackie Lacey
Who in San Diego cares who is the top prosecutor in LA? Who cares who Dumanis supports?— September 6, 2020 7:33 a.m.
Imagine a pedestrian-friendly Kearny Mesa

What a teachers union has done to Gompers
This is just another hit piece on unions. Unions do not run the school. They do not make management decisions. They do not tell the teachers what to do. All union does is give voice to workers. Teachers decide and vote for their union leadership. Teachers tell the union what they want in a contract. The union negotiates with the school systems negotiator to arrive at a contract that can be presented to the teachers. The teachers then vote to accept or reject the contract. The teachers decide, not the union officials, if and when they strike. The unions job is to negotiate and after a contract is accepted to administer that contract and to represent their members. The difference between a union worker and a non-union worker is that the union worker has a contract with their employer. When you rent or buy a home or buy or lease a car or get phone, internet and phone service and even when you use a credit card you sign and agree to a contract. Why is it that when we go to work that we trust our employer to treat us fairly and pay us correctly? The one thing we do that allows us to support ourselves and our families and allows us to participate in the economy is having a job but we don't want a contract with the employer.— August 14, 2020 8:33 a.m.
Death, destruction and rebuilding in La Mesa
I hope that the merchants in the La Mesa Springs shopping center are prepared for this Saturday's riot. While peaceful protests are a right there are always some who hide behind a well meaning peaceful protest to foment hate and destruction.— July 30, 2020 7:52 a.m.
La Costa 48 survives appeal
The wealthy need some place to live. You can't expect someone who can afford a $2M home to live in a neighborhood where architecturally blighted homes sell for $700k.— July 30, 2020 7:45 a.m.
