Week in review: Sweetwater Union High School District
Regarding timtim, I would guess his assessment on the naysayer count would indicate problems in the area of math analysis.— July 1, 2013 6:15 p.m.
Double features from hell: What Ever Happened to the Music Man?
Family night out, with the parents hoping the kids were asleep before the second feature started?— July 1, 2013 6:09 p.m.
Week in review: Sweetwater Union High School District
Yes, I have to wonder about that 'national search', as it did connect to Soccoro, Texas, ancestral home of Pearl Quinones with possible additional connection to Trujillo, the former Sweetwater Superintendent who personally profited from selling district computers to person(s) unknown in Mexico. So--would have been interesting to see just who was on that short list! Or if anyone else had been on that short list!— July 1, 2013 6:07 p.m.
Week in review: Sweetwater Union High School District
Just finished listening to the interview. Based upon what I heard, she seems to be a good person for the job, as she is dedicated, interested in the students, more than ready to get to work on the problems and yet considerate of a promise she made to the 3rd grade students at school where she was the principal. She does not seem to be critical of the Common Core, and I have heard some things about that are which somewhat concerning, mostly having to do with data mining and all the school children's work being part of information that can then be sold. But, on the whole, she seems like a very strong person who is ready to get to work!— July 1, 2013 5:57 p.m.
Week in review: Sweetwater Union High School District
You must be referring to the print edition, as I can't find any letters to the editor in the online edition. I will have to try and find a copy.— July 1, 2013 11:28 a.m.
Week in review: Sweetwater Union High School District
In the interest of learning a bit more about Mr. Hassey, a couple of items appeared on the KPBS website in response to Gandara leaving in 2011. Priceless. Both comments made by bankalchemist, one 6/24 and the other 8/2, 2011. Apparently Mr. Hassey and Mr. Brand have created some reputations for themselves that somehow never made it into community awareness here in south San Diego county. But--our board of trustees haven't had the best interests of the community and the students in mind for a very long time. That needs to change.— July 1, 2013 11:19 a.m.
The current Sunroad blowup shows rank hypocrisy
Might be time for a new "Bleak House"--lyric to "Brick House". Because we are becoming a Bleak House.— June 30, 2013 12:48 p.m.
Is it the mess or the message? City Attorney has been selective when prosecuting chalk vandalism
Our civic leaders might have been more at home playing Keystone Cops in the silent movies a hundred years ago. At least they would have done less damage, cost less and wouldn't be carrying around inflated egos, as one and all would know them for what they are!— June 30, 2013 12:10 p.m.
Week in review: Sweetwater Union High School District
Pizza-pie-in-the-sky for the unwary. It is frightening that there might be some young people who are without guidance when it comes to their futures, to such a degree that they will take the Hasseys and Brands of this world at their word. Believing this is their one and only shot at an education. When someone is a liar and a cheat, where do they go from there? Into partnership with Ed Brand?— June 30, 2013 11:04 a.m.
Sweetwater runs afoul of state Public Records Act
I have read he was/is an economics teacher, so he may have delusions of grandeur when it comes to monetary scheming. A perfect cohort for the inimitable Fast Eddy! It was apparently sent to a list of his students from the past 15 years, if you can believe what was on the page. My guess is that you are correct. For every 'live one' he probably collects something, and gets more if anyone signs up, shows up, etc.— June 30, 2013 10:43 a.m.
