My husband is the custodian at an elementary school and he treats the kids better than some of the teachers. Think about what you said.

Have any of you thought that Dr. Apostle is a good man? Most of you have never even met the guy but here you are bashing him. Have any of you realized how many of our teachers are recognized nationwide for their outstanding work? Did any of you know the district just received their ninth PERFECT AUDIT in a row? No...I thought not. So..unless you are willing to put in the time to be elected to the school board...or go get an education that would qualify you to be a principal...or a superintendent ...just let it go and get on with your life!

The students that were on the trip have parents don't they? If you all think it was okay to go against the decision that he not go along...why didn't one of you take a few days off work to go? As always the public do not know all the facts. I know Ken said he has all the facts...but the district has not made the information public and I did not see a billboard out there where Mr. Brittain posted what was going on. Sat, 7 May 2011 00:56:28 +0000 http://puyallup.komonews.com/news/people/brittain-back-rogers-will-resign-end-school-year/639569#IDComment149622486 http://puyallup.komonews.com/news/people/brittain-back-rogers-will-resign-end-school-year/639569#IDComment149622405 This is a sad day..sad that the public is in such an uproar when they do not have all the facts. If Mr. Brittain wanted you all to know his business he would let you know. We do not know what went in to the decision for him to resign. He is a very popular man....a good man...but he also has to follow policy and if policy says he has to run the school during his paid time and not teach a class then that is what he should do. If the district said he was not to go on the trip then he should not have. The ones of you that are employed....are you allowed to do what you want on work time and ignore the job you were hired to do?

Do you work for the district? If not why would you think you know all the facts...

I had brain surgery in January of that year and we shared the same doctor. I could hear how scared you were on the phone and I prayed for you. Each time I think of you I imagine you standing in a white light, bathed in blessings. While my two tumors are gone for good I am now undergoing treatment for a very rare disease which is non- malignant lymphoma .As we both know....benign doesn't mean it will be an easy road. I know exactly what you mean...you are not a disease nor are you sick. You are you with a crooked smile! Hang in there girl....you have so many people praying for you.

She is bruised and battered but doing ok. Thank you to all of you who helped her today-her family appreciates your kindness.

Is it tv...video games..movies? Again....the parents have a responsibility to know what their children are doing at all times. I am sure we are going to hear...I cannot be home watching over my kids...I have to earn a living to care for them...true...BUT...if you could not care for them properly then why did you have them?

May not sound right but it is the law.

Time for you to grow up.

Any car would have done the same thing....GROW UP Sun, 6 Sep 2009 06:53:35 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/57342797.html#IDComment33287210 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/57342797.html#IDComment33287186 Ok...I remind you..a small child has died and her family is devastated as I am sure the driver of the car is. Why all the talk of cell phones and he shouldn't have had an SUV...and really whose business of anyones what kind of a car he chose to buy and drive> This forum sure brings out the unhappy people in the is area...always complaining and wanting to argue....GROW UP all of you...this is a tragic story....what if it were your family? Would you REALLY want people sitting around judging you? Even Shan89 is arguing back and forth with others who are way off the subject....Just pray for the ones involved.

I saw the grandparents on tv stating what fine parents baby Cecil was born to..and now we find out the father has an extensive record AND the wonderful mother is in prison. Get a clue grandparents...knowing your grown children were so unfit and then not stepping in to protect your very own grandson...shame on you!!!!
