That would be the "news" part of the story...not just interviewing people.

This isn't Obama's recession. I'm a bit surprised by the short sided economics theory.

And I'm guessing that is the only thing the two of us would agree upon! At least we have some common ground!! :) Mon, 21 Feb 2011 13:03:32 +0000 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Poll-Less-Than-Half-of-Iowans-Approve-of-Gov-Branstad-116574063.html#IDComment129603651 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Poll-Less-Than-Half-of-Iowans-Approve-of-Gov-Branstad-116574063.html#IDComment129603423 wait, so you can lie about the numbers, but when someone else points out the facts (48%) they are they problem? This does sound like a Fox News situation.

Someone leaning right is controlling the "delete" button at KCRG.

Those things were a result of the previous administration.

We can't expect the public schools to teach our children everything, including vocal sounds, and then complain about the cost. Parents have got to start stepping up. Reading, singing, talking, playing, socializing are all very important and all something that can be done very well at home too. (and I'm not referring to "home schooling". I just mean the basic stuff I do and my parents did.)

A lot of it is daycare.

This story doesn't make sense on many levels. The writing is bad, and the facts don't add up. Is the last line a quote or editorializing? I suspect people from KCRG give negative comments to anyone who points out the poor journalism.

She went home and there was an ambulance? The fiancée was watching this? She didn't know the people in the fight and decided to jump in? The writing is horrible, and so is the police work.

It is hard to pay someone when so much of what they do is dependent on indirect factors. If all the kids showed up fed, well behaved, and ready to learn, then we could look to the teacher. Sadly, that is not the case.

You can always send a cold lunch. I did for 9 years. No big deal. Then you are in complete control.

Maybe that is the real problem. My kids go to Wash and are very challenged and getting a fabulous academic, social, and leadership education. A little less complaining and a little more owned responsibility.
