Chula Vista school admin moves forward with Common Core Standards
A kindergartner having to deconstruct a paragraph, what ever happened to playing and doing hands on stuff to learn. Some of these kids barely know their alphabet and now they have to do this, RIDICULOUS. How the hell are they going to get the middle and high school kids that have been taught one way all their life to shift gears. I think it would be easier to shift gears in my 67 Chevy than to have these kids relearn everything they already know. People are money hungry on the backs of our kids and that sucks its just wrong!!!! Ms. Luzarro great article....— November 21, 2013 10:56 a.m.
Teachers for Sweetwater district face insurance cost hike
Chapter Two: The tale continues as the person who anointed himself King of the Land of SUHSD has his village crumble and fall. Will his Merry Men now understand that everything that has been said is true and the "King" has got to go? The evil King Brand has done irreparable damage to the village. He wants to rob more money from the peasants and feed his pet projects. Who will come in on a white horse and save the children and educators from the wrongdoings of King Brand and his Merry Men. Will his Merry Men wake up and smell the deceit and decide to stand up to the self anointed King? Or will they be shackled and chained like the rest of the people who have stood up to him. Will they also be investigated by the private investigators? Will they be thrown to the wolves and banished from the kingdom? Hmmmm I wonder. Maybe they will be sent to the unsuccessful land of Alliant University to think of the error of their ways. Will Mr. Hassey be there dressed in red with horns to receive them? Or will the village see the light and overthrow the kingdom of Brand?— October 18, 2013 11:10 a.m.

Sweetwater school district's real estate deals gain momentum
oldchulares you ask how the hell this could happen. Well let me tell you a story, once upon a time there was a superintendent that actually thought he was bigger than life and spent money like there was no tomorrow. He purchased property without giving the consequences for the future a second chance. Then came in the board (his merry men) riding their white horses approving all of his misdeeds and covering some of them up for him. Then puff a grand jury investigation makes King Brand leave and he gets a job in San Marcos. Now that school board would not have any of his misgivings and treachery so they let him go and seal the reason why. We then get another individual to take the reigns and low and behold he is as bad as the prior king. The public is outraged and the kings men had no choice but to get rid of him. The pressure from the public was to much to handle. Now the king and his merry men are being tried for their misgivings and the 1st king is back. He is spending money, borrowing from the poor and his merry men are going along with everything. They do not ask questions, they only care for themselves forget the people they serve. This story however, is not over yet. The king and his merry men really need to ride off into the sunset and leave us alone. They need to be tried and convicted and king brand needs to ride off into the sunset as he once did. To be continued.......— October 15, 2013 12:30 p.m.
Sweetwater school district's real estate deals gain momentum
I am just laughing my a-- off. Can this district even screw in a light bulb without getting electrocuted? They have no money and all they do is steal from those people living on the eastside. Hey folks on the east you should come to our schools on the west they are really nice and updated. 3% reserves doesnt even exist in a normal household what makes them think they can get away with that. Use your heads people you are doing everything a-- backwards. OMG get rid of these people already. Did anyone really read this last sentence: "The district’s surplus property is tied together in an exchange agreement, which means that — when and if — “shovel ready” projects are sold, the money will not go to the general fund to alleviate the deficit spending problem; rather, the money will be used to pay down the district’s debt on the L Street property." Hmm inquiring minds want to know where does the mulah go? Not to the kids or the teachers maybe Fast Eddy's pocket.— October 14, 2013 10:59 a.m.
Sweetwater school board questions funds for investigators
Definition of the superintendent of SUHSD: Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism. Worst part about it is I found this in one of my kids textbooks from school.— September 27, 2013 9:36 a.m.

Sweetwater school board questions funds for investigators
OK peeps so they use our money to investigate the community and the community has no money to investigate them. There is something really wrong with this picture. They use the unlimited money for freaking attorneys and investigators for themselves hmmmm. These board members really have their heads up Brands ass. Have these board members been playing in the poppy fields of the Oz again. Are they completely out of touch with reality, someone please tell us inquiring minds want to know.— September 25, 2013 10:12 a.m.
Sweetwater school district backs off on Alliant International University plan
I guess based on these emails we are hunting students you know preying on the less fortunate. These people are disgusting they are preying on the kids that need them the most. Leave my community alone, leave the kids alone go get rich somewhere else. I am going to take up oldchulares and call the Feds. This district is out of hand and you know I hope the grant money gets taken away. I hope all these people are in orange jumpsuits soon. This shit really pisses me off. HOW THE HELL DO THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS?— September 9, 2013 10:29 a.m.
