<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Patricia and other teachers,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In the final analysis never forget you are the ones
spending countless hours providing for the needs of kids through your classroom
efforts, while Donovan and others including myself spend our hours fighting
back and forth on this site helping no one. If you read through the
messages in any given time span you will discover two or three folks
who are always ready to disparage anyone, for any reason, at any
time. Donovan is one of those. In all his postings the only
positive one I recall was written to me about people not knowing where we
live. It was pretty funny, really, given that a lot of people think Idaho
is far away in never never land. I remember his posting began,

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>"Me and my mom were in California and told a woman we were
from Idaho, and she said, 'so you don't live in this
country.' "</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I think we've all run into instances such as this. This
one was a classic. I read it for content, not grammar, and enjoyed it a
lot. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hope all of you at McDonald School enjoy the donuts
today. The retired employees of Moscow School District want you to
know we appreciate what you do for the kids who go to our
schools. We too had to endure the Gerry Weitz Snit Fits, none ever
as serious as this. He has really outdone himself this time. Too bad
he can't just resign from something. </FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Mr. 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>Tricia :-)<BR><BR>Donovan

<DIV>It was the MSD administration's decision not to allow your
students to go to the park, it had nothing to do with Dr. Weitz. </DIV>

<DIV>PS. I know I suck at proper English myself, but isn't it "city's" not
"cities"? </DIV>

my second graders will not be able to celebrate their year of success at

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
