Robo - The problem is that Janesville's board of education decided to make cuts in technical, industrial, and other great educational classes. They left the kids with few options like, choir and art. I understand that kids need culture awareness. But the kids are not going anywhere with these classes. Art is low paying and very few make it. Choir, hah! how many are going to be singing stars? None! With these as being the only options for the kids, all the kids want to do is watch the Kardasians and glee. Or watch Jersey Shore to learn how to be tool bags and drunks. The school system needs to get technology and industrial put back in the system or our kids are going to lost be when they graduate. More like, worthless tool bag drunks.
Yes, I do know they offer advances in nursing in high school. But there are very few of those jobs around and not may guys, or girls, want to be a nurse.
On New system aims to make schools more accountable

The "No Child Left Behind" act was broken and the educational system is now admitting to it. Why? Because each district is no longer getting that aid from the government. For every child passed through a school, the school got more financial aid. I am going to call them bonuses. Schools found this out and pushed the failing kids out the door to maintain that bonus from the government. Now that the government does not give this money out anymore, the education experts will finally admit the no child left behind act is a failure. They should have done this ten years ago so we wouldn't have a bunch of failed kids running around on the street. If a kid deserves an F, Fail them. Hold them back in school. If it hurts their feelings, tough!
.
I want to add off subject, that Parker has one class that is experimenting with not teaching in the classroom. Forcing the kids to watch a video after school, and doing homework. One class uses up over an hour of the kids social, work, activity time after school. During this time lost the kids have no where to turn to ask for questions until the next day when the homework is due and they don't have a chance to have questions answered. This effecting many kids grades. Taking many A-B students grades down to F's and D's. All because a teacher does not want to teach in class. Supposedly this teacher felt that this idea would help the kids that had lower grades, in the traditional classroom, learn more, and do more homework. Could you imagine what would happen if all the classes went to this method?
.
Might as well home school your kids people. They'll get a better education and you can fail them. Unlike what they do in our schools now. No teaching, and no failing grades. Just pass them through and toss them into the real world. No wonder our country is falling to pieces.
On Janesville roundabout plan detoured

@ johnnyreb6977 yah but take into the account that they are still looking for a place to put one in this statement by McDonald, "Hopefully, there are plenty of other places where we can put a roundabout where it actually fits."
Sounds like they want to put one in just because. The city must have money falling out of its pockets (sarcasm).

You wonder why the assessment of your home was higher this year, Substantially higher? So they can hit you harder with levy's such as this. I ask, what happened to that $3 million excess that existed? You sent teachers packing, have an excess, but yet you want more after cutting all the classes that are needed for a child to expand as an adult. Choir and band isn't doing it. I suggest you re-assess everyone's homes at current market prices for the Janesville market and then take your levy from that.
On Rock County Jail renovations increasing safety

Rewarding a criminal is criminal. Give them three squares, comfortable living, cable television, etc. and all you will get in return is repeat offenders. Making life cushy in jail just gives the criminal incentives to break the law more. Of course they try to get away with what ever law they are breaking. But if they get caught, it is no big deal to them because they are rewarded.
On Rock County Juvenile Detention asking for a new name
Posted on October 24 at 2:47 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
Political correctness is long away from juvenile criminals. All you want, is to think you are sending a positive message to those young individuals, but in reality, it is still juvey. This is like those individuals that want F's taken off grade reports because they feel it may hurt a child's feelings.
I see this name change as an unnecessary added expense that Rock county does not need at the moment. All because someone wants to, scratch that, thinks they are protecting someones feelings by changing a name in what they think is more positive.
After all this name changing is done, the only person coming out feeling better is Lance Horozewski. The kids in the system will still feel as if they are in Juvey. In which under any name, they are still in Juvey.
You looking for where that added expense is. Many paperwork forms will have to be changed. Headers, formats etc. Other areas that deal with the juvey hall will have to conform too. The labor costs of having to change everything over in all departments and areas that work with the juveniles. The signage on the front of the building will have to change. These are huge expenses. Expenses Rock County does not need.

On Wheel tax survives initial talks
Posted on October 21 at 7:14 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
Sure, push more people out. Drop a tax on garbage, tax wheel, tax what next? Our council should have stopped feeding GM with crap by building a useless road at our expense. Our ridiculous council continues to spend too much and what will happen in the next elections, people will still vote them in. We need a full overhaul of our local government before they make Janesville even poorer. What will they do when another five thousand plus people leave the city? Find more things to tax? Maybe they can tax our shoes.
On Janesville details sidewalk plan
Posted on September 24 at 7:14 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
To those three below, stop voting these same people into your council. Start sending a bill to the city,once the sidewalk is placed, for mowing the portion of lawn between the sidewalk and road. After all, the city claims that five feet of terrace is theirs but expect you to maintain it. They should be properly charged for your time to tend to their property then.

Nobody wants the mess these people created, or are blamed to have created. Maybe that is why there is no one to contest them.
