OMG I went to school with Mary (Sweeny) at Mooney. They are just common, down to earth people. How did they ever amass that much money? She is/was a teacher and Walter retired as a Mill Creek policeman when thety married in 02. A Long and long distanced romance. That is so Cool. Thanks Mary and Walter.
Taxpayer Please excuse my typing! Did not realize it matters as much as the comments. As a Mooney grad, I was not allowed to take typing since I was on the college bound track. Besides that, I am sitting in 113 degrees and the keyboard is not happy with the high humidity; it is skippng letters and the space bar does not always work. Others got my message !!
Perhaps, you should retake basic math -- a few mistakes in that long passage; does not equate to 1/2. Probably a public school grad. ( P.S. I am very well educated -- you can call me DR. Mooneygrad as I have my EdD.)
As for it working inYtown-- it works in LA, San Dig, west side of san Berdoo. And they mirror the Ytown population. The teachers and community MUST give it time and do the program the right way, Hopefully, it will not be thrown out at the end of a tear or two, before the aggregate data becomes useful.
As a retired Califorian teacher, who taught using common core let me try to explain. Every student will need to learn basic core curriculum, reading, math, history and science, AT an acceptable level. Having students and teachers "on the same" page, helps when students are moved from school A to school B AND rids the educational system of having a history teacher who stops at the Revoluntioary war, because he/she is an expert in that area and they drag it out all year, ( Yes that does happen) or an older teacher who refuses to teach the more modern areas of hhistroy. ( yes I am picking on history teachers) Students are expected to ask mor questions, lead discussions, and work together for a common solution. So in a MAth clas, the lesson is finished and it is now the students chance to work on the solutions together, trying to make sure all in their group (3- 4 in a group works best) understands the steps and logic behind the solution. If not, others in the group try to reexplain, using perhaps, different terms for the reteachable moment. There is no one way to teach a concept, yet we do have teachers who still use this inane philosophy. Students can and do learn from each other. This is a wayof allowing that to happen in a copntrol environment. The teacher must have a sense off when things are not working, when to intervene with a group, or pull all the students back into full classroom lecture ( for a lack of a better word word) for re-teach. If this sounds familiar to some (- back in the 80s it was called cooperative learing) one must remember that the educational system is circular -- we keep re-inventing the same old things but with new names. Can it improve Ytown schhols. YES, if dome correctly, but it will take more than one or two years to reach all students and ensure teachers are doing it correctly. As for no more sitting, Teachers NEED to bemoving around the classroom, checking in with the groups, not sitting and doing other things, like talking on a phone.
I am confused !! When did the name of the situation chnange?? My parents ALWAYS called it the BIG LITTLE steel strike, as did Atty Paul Dutton whom I had for History at YSU. Even our text called it BIG LITTLE, My dad and grandfather were kept inside the mill for several days working, Srories of wives, daughters walking down Loveland Rd, hill to see them at a distance or to give them food, over the fence were related to me often.
Oh Wonderful !!! My MIL (age 90) makes a whooping 13.45 a month from her pension after medical care is deducted. So with medical care going upwards, and no COLA -- Goodbye pension and hello welfare. Guess we kid will be taking her a dependent and paying for her med, assistant care facility... more than we do now. Oh wait, maybe we will need to pay for her additional medical coverage too.
Palm Springs Calif gas is already 478.9 And they use 2 different blnds- a summer one and then a winter blend. Ummm smells the same to me when I pump the gas.
Update March 7 Both are still alive. Gary is in Burn center and Kenny is in UCI. Surgery to remove deadened skin has began. Families are devastated but holding up as much as possible.
Cambridge -If you went to the catholic schools and learned nothing concerning insight and guidance within the Church structure-- you must have been sleeping. I received a valuable education within my 12 yeas of wearing uniforms, and I personally thank God and my hard-working, steel working, parents for their financial support and my Catholic education. My teachers, pastors and others involved with the Church teachings, allowed me to learn of church history, reasoning behind the laws/commandments and how to be a better person. NEVER did I witness or hear of priests or nuns who wanted to be a money machine. Yes they need the support of their members to hwlp pay bills, continue to aid the poor, and much much more. I feel sorry, that you did not value your education and now feel that the Church is worthless to you. But you do have choices-- please make the right one for you- and QUIT bashing what you evidently do not understand. Not all priests are pedophiles; in fact, many protestant sects are having the same issues, but they seem to have a media cover over their problems OR have already paid to silence the "victim"
She was offered 2000.00 and turned it down. She wanted more. Had she accepted that amount, perhaps her bills would be updated and then she could find a part time job. She was a cook-- there are always cooking jobs available. I wonder what the true story is? What happened to Tracy while growing up? What did she not do? Or was the $$$ of foster kids so plentiful that she depended on it too much?
