#36 AGAINST; where is the petition for THAT?2012-01-11 16:47Stops and starts are NOT good for learning, especially since teachers can't give projects or hw and want to wrap up units before each break. moreover, kids are distracted days before and after each lengthy break. As for teacher absenteeism dropping during that one year -- ummm...there wasn't a big flu outbreak like the year before. Why don't we do what I've encountered in the private sector? No sick days allowed on Mondays or Fridays without a doctor's notes. Maybe that'll dissuade teachers looking to take off whenever they feel like it... |

Feel what you may about the calendar, but please let's remember that these teachers are professionals and spend more time with our kids than we do in a day... |

Hardworking People Against AB 928
Assembly Bill 928 is a reckless, poorly written legislative proposal. Whether it's for breeding, showing, rescuing, or keeping roosters for personal, cultural, or spiritual reasons, this bill undermines our way of life. It affects thousands across the state who cherish and maintain these animals as an integral part of our lives. Assembly Bill 928, under the guise of regulating cockfighting, does not distinguish between illegal activities and responsible rooster ownership. Legitimate breeders an...

The adoption and ratification of a new calendar for the United Global Trade Organization
To whom it may concern, I hope this article finds you well. **The Case for a New Calendar System Based on a Deck of Cards** The current Gregorian calendar, though widely accepted and functional, has long been criticized for its irregularities and inconsistencies. Months vary in length from 28 to 31 days, making planning and scheduling less intuitive. Adopting a new calendar system with "twelve plus one" months of 28 days each, and an additional "transition day" at the end of the year—would br...

We the undersigned oppose any government definition of so-called ‘Islamophobia’. We assert our freedom to expose and oppose the errors and violence of the Islamic religion and to bring the truth of the Gospel to Muslims. We deplore the inherent bias of the Government ‘Working Party on Anti-Muslim Hatred / Islamophobia’ in which every member is either a Muslim activist or, in the case of its chairman, Dominic Grieve KC, an apologist for Islam. We are dismayed that the sole focus of the ‘Working...
