The Board has moved the discussion to the November 18 agenda.  If you want to voice a support for the Spanish language immersion program, please come to the meeting at District Administration Center at 5050 Barranca Parkway.  If you are not a fan of language immersion programs, don't worry. ...

Folks, It is a travesty that we do not have a single dual language immersion school in Irvine Unified School District.  LAUSD, Capistrano Unified, Lake Forest all have dual language immersion programs in Mandarin, Korean and/or Spanish.  WE pay big bucks to live here, so I want what the school...

I am not happy about the GP spending.  I am even LESS happy to see 10,000 houses being built over there.  This is not about selecting a perfect candidate, but getting the pro-development team out of the office.  My kids will be going to IUSD system soon and that's my priority. ?and I don't want...

Interesting indeed.  I don't care who was for or against what years ago.  Right now I want stop crazy overdevelopment of Irvine and overcrowding of our schools.  If Agran and Gaido can accomplish that then it's my team.  I am glad that Agran crushed the commercial airport idea?WTF we need a...

I would like to think that future is in our hands.  Get the pro-development team out of the office - that's a start. 

Gaido.  Her platform is to stop overdevelopment of Irvine and I really hope she will deliver.  :D

If the City Council together with Mayor Choi continue rubber-stamping new developments in Irvine, causing excessive overbuilding and massive overcrowding in our schools, these problems will get worse and worse.  No wonder teachers were unfriendly and could not find your kid on campus (ZeroLot) -...

I am sorry you had a bad experience with LePort.  This is very surprising.  Our daughter went to the same school (LePort San Marino) and she had a fantastic year.  She loved the school, leaned quickly to be self-sufficient, put on shoes, put away the toys, sit and listen (was a problem before...

Yup, they will real need to hear that when they are $150K in student loan debt, behind on their Credit Card payments, cannot get a decent job with their "humanity"-oriented degree and apply for unemployment benefits.  Will "humanity"education pay their bills?

Ok, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I have mine and you have yours.  But a few points require my response: 1) that was not my experience at UCLA.  The very few tenured profs I had (and again the emphasis is on very few) departed after they got a better offer, more $, or a Fed Gov...

Nobel Laureates migrate from Uni to Uni, depending on the research grant they could get.  This is not a reflection of quality of education of THAT University but rather the $ race. They rarely teach.  Besides, many research professors/talent move out from one uni to another for personal family...

Oh, God, let's break it down.  The "LISTS" you provided... LOL? They have zero credibility.  An american research company (and British co) proclaiming that American-British universities are the best in the world?  Wow, did not see that coming.  TR acquired Peterson and West Publishing - all US...

Who gave this false idea that the top colleges are in the US?  ;D  There are top colleges in many countries: England, France, Russia, India, Israel, Spain, Korea, China?should I go on?  They cost a fraction of what US colleges cost and give the same level and, in many cases, better education...

...and also as a social science major (at least at some UCs).  Since when calculus became the class for "overachievers"?  It is basic math, in my opinion, and not that difficult to grasp.  In many countries it is a required class in high school and students don't even question it (let alone...

Had a lot of friends that went the CS to reputable Grad Schools.. like you said.. just driven.  So many different scenarios.. but driven people will generally succeed... even those who didn't even go to college. There are exceptions, but they are rare.  For example, in our class at UC Berkeley...

Haha, no thanks, USC is not my cup of tea! Good school, easy to transfer into from a good community college if you are an honors student (for those who dream to be a Trojan).  There is a big difference between UC and CS when you want to go to a reputable grad school.  The prestige of undergrad...

Come on now..dear realtor, let's not go crazy with the embellishments "Superior Irvine schools..." are you talking about the unbuilt No. 5 school on the toxic waste land? What high school the HC is going to be zoned into?  What elementary school the HC is going to be zoned into?  Alderwood...

Deceptive and irrelevant statistics.  You DO NOT need an AA to transfer to UCs or any other colleges.  Most transfer students don't even bother with getting an AA degree (as they have to take extra classes, e.g. to satisfy the "diversity" requirement).  I am the product of SMC-transfer to UCLA...

QH is quite walkable.  Ppl stroll back and forth from QH residential to Starbucks/QH Shopping Center.  Tons of moms with strollers swooshing by...

I agree with irvinehomeowner.  My philosophy is if my kids wont get into Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley, they are off to IVC or Santa Monica College and then transfer to a UC.  No way I am paying for Pepperdine or Chapman...or some other private school. USC is a "maybe" - only if they get into a...
