@taxaandspend. You keep talking about the so called "fluff" classes and there small size......A couple of years ago my son was in a class of 3 yes I said THREE for ENGLISH 11 which is a required Core class......would you call that fluff. There was a scheduling issue and it was the only way these students could get there ENGLISH 11 credits. There are so many Required classes to graduate that students only get maybe 1 or 2 electives a year. Most have to wait until 11 or 12 grade to take a "FLuff" class

Everyone has heard of the Tour de France but did you know that on the Saturday evening before the fair, there is the Tour de 4-H! The riders either go 20,24 or 30 miles depending on age. It starts at the boat dock at Lions beach and travels thru the back roads of south east Rock County

So okiefed WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Hide them in institutions? So are you afraid of severe CD (cognitive disable)children? Have you ever even taken time to get to know them or there families? If you can believe some of the children are much smarter than you think,they just may not be able to express themselves. Children with genetic and birth injuries such as MD and CP can be very smart and very productive and can hold jobs and go to collage. So would you do away with Early Childhood too. This is also in the Special Education spectrum?

MY SON WAS IN THE SPECIAL EDUCTION SYSTEM SINCE HE WAS IN THIRD GRADE. AT THAT TIME HE WAS DISCOVERED TO HAVE A READING DELAY AND CLASSIFIED AS LD OR A LEARNING DISABILITY. HE HAD A IEP AND EXTRA HELP ALL THROUGH SCHOOL.HE WAS CONSIDERED TO HAVE A HIDDEN DISABILITY,HE LOOKED AND ACTED LIKE ALL THE REST OF THE STUDENTS. HE GRADUATED FROM PARKER IN 2010. HIS TEACHERS SAID HE WAS ONE OF THE SUCCESS STORIES. HE WAS A STARTER ON THE VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM AND HE WAS ON THE PARKER SWIM RELAY THAT WENT TO STATE! HE IS A STUDENT AT BLACKHAWK TECH IN THE FIREFIGHTING TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM. BUT CURRENTLY HE IS IN ARMY NATIONAL GUARD BOOT CAMP AT FORT SILL OK. AND IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE TOP RECRUITS. SO WHERE ARE YOUR KIDS?? THE TALENTED AND GIFTED ARE ALSO COME UNDER THE BANNER OF SPECIAL EDUCATION AT THE OTHER END OF THE SPECTRUM. THEY ARE ALL CONSIDERED ENN OR EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATION NEEDS. I ALSO WORK WITH THE MOST SEVERE CHILDREN IN THE JANESVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND LET ME TELL YOU THEY ARE THE MOST AWESOME STUDENTS AROUND! THEY LAUGH AND ARE HAPPY MOST OF THE TIME. OH YEAH ALL THE SPECIAL ED STUDENTS AT ONE TIME DID ALL GO TO ONE SCHOOL IT WAS CALL "GLEN OAKS" AND IT WAS LOCATED ON HWY 51 NORTH. THE BUILDING NOW HOUSES THE ROCK COUNTY HEALTH DEPT.

This is a add on just like the options that you can get on your car. Caskets cost around $5000. and $7500. I wish this was around when my father passed away. I am sure we would have had a picture of his antique tractor! I wish we had this option when our baby girl passed I would have loved to have that urn to display.
On Research begins for 2012 school closing in Janesville

They are looking at the wrong elementary School to Close. IMO the school that should be closed is Madison. It's the only school in the elementary system that has NOT been remodeled. It is one of the hardest schools to get into and out of. The students that live out in the country can be bussed to Washington and Van Buren. Move the ESC and the Charter Schools to Madison and sell the city the ESC building JMO

There is a group of unemployed that didn't get the extension. They are called the 99ers they are the ones who exhausted there benefits before the extension was signed mostly they all where cut off in November. They have to wait and see if they get any. Most of these people are in construction. And we can see how much of that is going on.
