Donoven, <br>
Thank you for your kind words. Our second graders will <u><b>walk</b></u>
to Robinson Park. We will be sharing the park with third grade, so the
park will be full of children. We will make it work for the children.
We disagree, but that is OK. I would love for the issue to be resolved
quickly, and I did not perceive you as a jerk. Keep helping "old
ladies cross the street." <br>

<div>Patricia,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I did want to thank you for your efforts at educating children.
It is no doubt a noble profession. I help old ladies cross the street,
so to speak, that is my job. And while the pay</div>
<div>is for the most part lousy, I do have to say it has its own
rewards knowing that you are helping someone. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yes, I am a jerk online, not intentionally to everyone, but I am
unable to figure out how to smile on line, when I try, I just come
across as a pompous ass. Many people on V2020 are mean to me and
others, so I have for the most part, given up on being nice on this
forum. People that know me as a person, know I am a nice guy, albeit,
very flawed. Most the people on here don't know me in person, and few
have met me more than 2 or 3 times. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I wish you the best of luck with your students, and I hope we
can get this issue resolved so you can continue your activities. I just
believe that we disagree on who is at fault. I think it is the MSD
Administrations job to do things properly and legally. And I will not
lie, that I do think that the MSD is over-funded and the property taxes
make life difficult for many in our community. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Feel free to correct my writing any time, that is the only way
to improve it. I could not even type 6 years ago, I didn't know how to
turn a computer on or off 7 years ago. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best to you Patricia,</div>
<div> </div>

Arnold, <br>
You are correct about city's. I wrote in haste, and did not recheck.
My bad. I also misspelled "importance." I do notice many errors in
your writing, as well. None of us is perfect. However, I disagree
with your statement. The cause of MSD in making the decision to cut
back on expenses is directly related to Dr. Weitz. The effect is, we
don't get to go to East City Park. To help curve a financial emergency
you cut back on spending. Happens at my place all the time.<br>

<div>It was the MSD administration's decision not to allow your

You have done a great disservice to your city. The citizens you
are hurting most are our most vulnerable, our precious children, our
future leaders. Thanks to you my second graders will not be able to
celebrate their year of success at one of our cities beautiful parks,
East City Park, for a fun picnic together one last time. That probably
doesn't rate high on your scale of important, but to an eight year old
it is way at the top.<br>
Have a nice day.<br>

Of course Mr. Schwaller's point, as stated, makes sense -- no decision
is "right" if someone "lies, cheats, steals, or handwaves to get there."<br>
<br>
My problem with his analysis is the assumption that there's any merit
at all to Weitz's claim, and any cause whatsoever to doubt the
integrity of MSD and the veracity of the levy information presented,
the ballot offered, or the votes cast.<br>
<br>
I have nothing but confidence in my school district, and nothing but
contempt for those who would pile on and snort gleefully when it's
faced with what can only be described as a crisis whose "collateral
damage" is real, live children and the fine women and men who work with
them.<br>
<br>
I love Moscow's public schools, and I'm proud as hell of the people who
work in them.<br>
