    Good pizza in Irvine?

    CPK?s cauliflower crust is pretty good in my opinion.

    What happened to Northwood High School Science Program?

    It limits students to enroll in advanced science classes at a younger age. The plan is to help everyone take similar science classes, which will result in the watering down of the curriculum to meet the needs of the middle/average students.

    What happened to Northwood High School Science Program?

    All schools will experience a drastic change in their science education starting with this year?s freshmen. This is due to the Next Generation Science Standards where ninth grade is Biology of the Earth, tenth is Chemistry, eleventh is Physics, with flexibility for advanced courses as a senior.

    Where to buy? Top of the World or Turtle Rock/Ridge?

    The ?greatness? of Irvine schools would be a result of 95% of the families enlisting the support of after school tutors as the preferred form of daycare. Sadly, kids don?t get to run around and play anymore.

    Iusd vs Pegasus vs Harbor Day for first grade

    This won?t be popular, but all parents should be encouraged to participate in their child?s education. Teaching should be a partnership with the parents in educating their child. Why else would a parent choose to be a parent if they simply wished to not be involved. Vista Verde should be...

    Retail Openings and Closures

    Agree with the Crossroads concerns. It?s definitely congested and it is not pedestrian friendly when grabbing food from any place in the center.

    I-5 freeway between Tustin and Irvine is slated for widening

    Great Oregon Trail reference, sadly kids don?t even get this experience anymore.

    Mass Transit

    Sort of off topic, but in the interest of traffic how about adding more right hand turn lanes to get those cars through instead of scraping the curbs alongside the bike lane. Another different suggestion would be to use tunneling technology to remove pedestrians from all major intersections...

    Frustrated with lack of retail

    Don?t forget Portola Springs did have a plan for a well located retail center until the land was swapped into Portola Springs Elementary because the area needed a school. Oops, people should have fought that one.

    Toyota moving to Texas

    I?m sure the teachers love being grouped here, but the statement is realistic.

    More Money Has Bought Dumber Students For Decades

    Per pupil spending took a dive in 2008 and schools are slow to recover. I?m definitely not against giving families options and making public schools compete for students, but the funding must be equal for each student. 2017-18 LCFF as stated by CA IUSD: $8,260/student TUSD: $8,548 SVUSD...

    More Money Has Bought Dumber Students For Decades

    Don?t forget that CA is continuing to throw money at the underperforming schools with the current Local Control Funding Formula. Schools with certain challenging demographics are receiving a 30% increase in funding without showing improving scores. People need to wake up and see how unequal the...

    Assessment Scores Rank IUSD Highest in County

    I said the teachers, superintendents shouldn?t belong in the same category.

    Assessment Scores Rank IUSD Highest in County

    Interestingly enough, the state of California funds those lower test score districts with even more money and the results have not changed. So much for California and equality. Irvine and IUSD schools receive lower funding amounts and no one truly cares in the city. As for teachers, I?ll leave...

    New home company: 40 homes 3800-4200sqft gated in Orange

    Most people look outside of OUSD especially on the west side of the city. The school district is trying to create magnet programs to encourage parents to send their children to the western area city schools.

    Mass Transit

    I agree with Irvinecommuter, but would include service to the Spectrum and Marketplace. It?s worth considering the universities and also lines to the city limits with large parking lots. That way those who commute into Irvine might park at the city?s limits and ride the light rail in. UCI could...

    Building in Irvine: Too Fast and I?m Furious

    IMO it seems like this has a lot to do with people being against a cemetery near the freeway than truly being against Irvine?s growth.

    Baker Ranch in Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch

    Bagels & Brew deserves the credit. They have been running a great business for years in Lake Forest.
