    coronavirus

    Distance learning is more effective when grades matter. Additionally a teacher?s presence in the classroom helps maintain student engagement whereas parents were not willing or were unable to offer the same supervised engagement.

    That?s why the rules in the a House were changed so 435 members don?t have to report to work anymore. The actual government workers who run the chamber are there though.

    UC?s to get rid of SAT?

    Hopefully the UCs merge their knowledge and preferences with California?s CAASPP (state test for schools), which would benefit both groups. Next up...AP Tests that had problems with remote assessments. Why pay for an AP Test where you might not pass or receive college credit. Instead...

    I agree...so much money was put into campaign signs and petition signing so the same money should become the start of public donations for cemetery.

    Distance learning?

    Irvine?s year round school is slated to start mid July, but no commitment on whether that means students in the classroom, but the district is shying away from the mention of continued distance learning. About masks being worn by students, teachers are no longer allowed to take away cell phones...

    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    So sad for the veterans and families; the only people that matter. Agran better spearhead the fundraising to make sure it?s done ASAP. He?s always quick to litigate and petition so let?s see the site cleaned up and prepared to respectfully honor our military heroes.

    coronavirus

    Late to the conversation on schools opening, but remember that everything school related is locally controlled. The governor never officially closed schools, but waived requirements so districts wouldn?t lose funding if they continue to provide meals. School years are officially 180 days and can...

    Fall School Schedule

    More wishful thinking on a normal start, but the schools will have to have a massive overhaul in infrastructure and teacher professional development if the state were to authorize distance learning during a new school year.

    Distance learning?

    Definitely agree with teachers who are planning distance learning while also implementing lessons for their own family. These teachers haven?t received any training in this area; definitely something to be considered by schools in the future, but always, budgets are tight. Not the time to...

    Plaza Vista teachers have been great in communicating each day with the students in small groups. Not only has it been informative, but really good for the young students to interact with four other friends at the same time. I know there is not a set standard for distance learning and the...

    Walking to school

    Would never want to live near a high school. Those places are traffic havens from 6am until 10pm with practices, competitions, and performances. Plus all of the students can drive and will park anywhere they may creatively find.

    Don Sedgwick for Congress

    My comment had nothing to do with our former representative; just mentioning a fact. In my opinion, removing all deductions might benefit the country most in terms of revenues and expenditures.
