Optimistic "Beyond Drought" report from water authority
A space of lawn among shade trees is low water and lovely.— April 24, 2016 3:41 p.m.
Optimistic "Beyond Drought" report from water authority
The rosy report won't change anything. Sweetwater Authority built the Reynolds plant in the 1990's. Consumers believed that they were investing in future drought protection. Although SWA did a bang up job providing adequate water, it could not protect its consumers from unnecessary water rationing and ensuing rate hikes that have occurred across San Diego County. Major scrutiny should be focused on the water agencies and delivery system statewide. Just this last February, millions of gallons of imported "treated" MWD water were dumped into "untreated" Lower Otay reservoir in Chula Vista— April 22, 2016 1:08 p.m.

Retirement suits Chula Vista Elementary administrator well
I wonder what kind of positives Nelson presented when stumping for achieve 3000. That link above to the study of student use of the imagine software is rather telling.— April 8, 2016 4:26 p.m.
Did citizens lose when Councilman McCann won?

That is so true anniej. I was lucky to have the time (being on campus so much) and I was in the minority! Teachers have so much thrown at them. I can't imagine not being able to communicate with a teacher about math assignments or Eng. Language essays, but plenty of parents don't.— April 3, 2016 11:18 p.m.

As a parent, my opinion is Achieve 3000 is appropriate for middle school level, not K-6. Overall, most of the school provided software (reading K-3rd , K-6 math- IXL, middle school Spanish, etc) for my children have NOT impressed me. I helped 1st-3rd students as a parent volunteer, complete their computer based reading comprehension tests (can't remember the name). This was a joyless process. Students were restricted to library books designated by the software, even if they were interested in books of greater detail or subject matter. My daughter and classmates were assigned "minutes" and "percentage goals" with the IXL math program. The percentage goals were frustrating as the math program subjectively lowers percentage(ie. 95% becomes 87% after 1st missed question, 87% drops to 75% at 2nd miss). The reference section on IXL was VERY helpful, but I found it by searching the program on my own. My son's middle school used Spanish Language software, which was awful. How they think anyone can learn a language by reading, but not speaking is beyond me. Computer software and the way it is implemented doesn't sit well with me. In closing, though, I can't stand the Margaret Hillard Learn to Read books either!— April 3, 2016 11:10 p.m.

I felt they were for state leg. as well. The fact that Nelson stumped for Achieve 3000 BEFORE he retired just doesn't sit well. I realize his compensation was peanuts and he was there as a "current consumer", I suppose. A 2mil deal for Achieve 3000 and then a cozy job before his seat cools off... seems funky.— April 3, 2016 7:09 p.m.

Achieve 3000 popped up in my middle schoolers cirriculumn. I was impressed with the topics and quality of the "news articles" presented for reading and comprehension practice. However, a majority were outdated (dated 2003, 2007, etc). The comprehension quizzes had a predictable pattern. Helps students without regular access to community newspapers or industry periodicals, I suppose.— April 3, 2016 7 p.m.
Did citizens lose when Councilman McCann won?
Frightening hit. I will be watching for the outcome of the appeal— March 23, 2016 5:43 p.m.
