We have just begun to fight!

Anonymous said... I am in a doctoral program at unlv. I go back and forth between here and other places. My sister, with kids, lives here in livonia. I was raised here in mi. but this program gives me the chance to travel alot. My thesis is mobility and children. In plain english it is all about the effects of moving around (house to house, city to city). That is why your school issue is so interesting to me. It will provide a side issue for the paper along with an opportunity to apply some interesting sociological concepts to this community. From the outside I can tell you what this looks like. Each side wants to be right. Each side has lost track of the essence of this proposal. When you talk to people who have absolutely nothing to do with your schools, you find the objective view of all of this. People right here on this blog are too deeply entrenched. You are dug in on both sides. People here in this area, when given just the basic facts, without emotion, do not believe that this is a good plan. Those who support it I know you will still think you are right. My view from back here says that when people know what the plan is they don't think that it is something desirable. It really is that simple. Too many of you are making this appear more complex than it is. The research here is very simple and clear. The communities feelings are clear. Objectively it is not a well thought out plan. It just is not a good plan. 6:13 AM |

You are right. Our children are the ones who will be studied. Anonymous is correct. Both side are emotionally dug in. There is no question on my mind that I am. I'm a very logical person and if it really made sense I wouldn't have a problem with the LI, but as the future Dr. Anonymous stated it just a bad plan. |

I agree w/our PhD. But I tend to be "emotional" and very "angry" when my kids are affected--not too mention our entire lives and home investment. I feel affronted by this debacle. It has consumed me for 3 months--researching, researching, going to meetings, trying to communicate w/the BOE--and then giving up on them. Ugh! Anna Krome |

I am pleased that an educated "outsider" agrees that the LI simply put, is NOT a good thing. His last few sentences below are a nice, subtle, summary. "The research here is very simple and clear. The communities feelings are clear. Objectively it is not a well thought out plan. It just is not a good plan." |

I would like to hear someone argue with this blogger. Oh wait, I should check. A supporter probably already came up with some goggly goo already to knock our future fine doctor down. Young man/or woman, you are a fine student!!!!!!! |

I think its nice to have an outsiders opinion. There is no emotions....just looking at the facts. And the facts stink! He also mentioned in the blog that maybe we could send the info to an outside school district...one that compares with ours...preferably out of state...and see what they say. Kinda makes sense to me. |

I think it is nice to have an outsiders opinion as well. However, when you claim to be working on a doctorate and "educated" your grammar and spelling should be outstanding, which it wasn't. When it isn't what should be expected of a doctoral candidate it appears to be a fraud. It was hard for me to buy into it and I want this proposal stopped as well. We have been trying to sell but the house values have plummeted so we will be here at least another year. Just my two-cents for what it is worth.

I noticed the grammer and spelling, too. But I also realize that it is commonly skipped on e-mails and blogs, even by very intelligent people, particularly those of a certain generation. I can't do it, but I'm probably much older that this person and did not grow up using e-mail. When the thoughts expressed seem well thought out, I see this kind of lack of appropriate grammer as more of a cultural difference between generations rather than an indicator of intellegence (or lack thereof.) |

He wasn't writing his "thesis" on the blog. I don't see anything wrong with his comment. How can you judge someone's intelligence based on one comment? |

I agree. Let's listen to the content on this blog and not worry about spelling mistakes. A lot of times people are writing so fast they don't even pay attention to their spelling and I don't even think you can go and edit a blog....am I right? By the way, I have had professors in school that are the worse spellers...it's just not their strength. Their intelligence comes out in other areas. |

My intent was not to "judge" him as you have just judged me. I am as concerned as everyone else. I also believe that we need to always keep up appearances and come across professionally and not grasp at straws. I want this initiative stopped too, for my own reasons. However, I will NOT be talked to disrespectfully or spend my time fighting for a group that fights within. Take the comment as it was written, constructively. There was nothing constructive in your responses and I am not the enemy. I feel sorry for the opposition. |
