District 150 Superintendent Ken Hinton once again displayed his lack of respect to taxpayers and parents. In an interview with the Journal Star, he said that, sure, he’s meet with parents who are upset that 45 minutes has been cut from the school day. But he claimed that kids will benefit from all that wonderful […]

I love Peoria. I want Peoria to survive. That won’t happen if if decent working families won’t live here. And for that, we need a quality school system.
So, as an advocate for Peoria, what do I do now? It’s apparent the people who run District 150 do not know what they are doing. They stood […]

Sigh.
I’ve written before that blogging keeps me sane.
It also stresses me out at times. Or more accurately, it sometimes is just one more thing I need to do in a life that has its own stresses, from work to family and health issues.
It’s not one thing or two things that has make this the suckiest […]
