Just think of how great the patient treatment would have been if he would have focused on patient care instead of growing the revenue stream. I dont want to go to a billion dollar health care facility I want to go to a place that actually improves my healthcare.

I actually agree that the teachers are doing to much right now to prepare the students for learning. This is the parents job, the students should come to class ready to learn. At what point do we stop. In theory the government should take all kids at age two and then they would equally be fed, housed and educated because we can't leave any behind. As far as having my yard done, I have seen successful "yard" employees and Failures who run companies. Funny how an educated person would look down on a hard working profession, Interesting...

For the same reason so many people need to learn but are not learning...The need to work but not working could be driven by to much support available. As long as this recession has been going on I have yet to have anyone knock on my door asking if they can rake leaves, mow yards, shovel snow etc. If you are not working you should be spending at least 8 hours a day looking for work, any work.

Class size, air conditioning, swimming pools, fancier rooms and on and on. All items that we hope will cause success when it is a sretch to even show correlaton much less causation. The need to learn causes learning. Having 30 vs 32 in a classroom may correlate but does not cause...

Having parents actively involved with the education of their kids is a huge factor. I suggest we allow all parents of school aged kids to stay home with a paycheck from the government, maybe $50k a year. We can just raise taxes, come on it's for the kids. Your not against kids are you?

It is long overdue for parents to step up and be responsible for their kids to be prepared when they come to school. There has been an alarming trend where the schools are taking on the responsibility of doing whatever is needed to prepare the kids Schools should educate and parents should prep the kids for it. Schools are feeding, clothing, counseling kids and families. They are providing backpacks, pens and on and on to ensure the kids are able to learn. There are whole departments put in place to not educate but to handle all the situations that the parents don't. This is the area of non-productivity. They are not educating, they are preparing the student for educating and that is not what teaching is for, it is what parenting is for.

Pretty interesting how the school system is the only efficient system in the world without any pork to cut. We should all learn from them.

The problem with the current system is there is no connection between service and cost. The taxes are collected to obtain money to pay for government services. Assessing based on value of the home has nothing to do with it. This creates a huge burden on seniors who are trying to stay in their home even though the typically use less services. While I understand the social concept of we all gain by Timmy having a school, the current method is to disconnected between services rendered and the bill.

Rocky, as soon as my left mirror travels into the oncoming lane I have deviated from my lane. It is not possible to travel 2 abreast and also have a vehicle pass at 3 foot interval while staying in the same lane. Therefore, impeding traffic flow and also not traveling to the far right as required by law. Not just marked roads. Please read the law before pulling me over...

As much as this makes me sick the real problem is the board of Mercy that allows this to happen. This could be stopped by them anytime.
