The ISTEP: A test that’s not passing the test
booger Tuesday, May 21, 2013: 12:27 pm	These decisions have already been made and made into law that will never be revoked without serious overhaul. Who do you blame now?

Small districts lead IREAD-3 scores in Morgan County area
booger Sunday, May 19, 2013: 5:20 pm	60% free and reduced - and 92% passing is damn good. However, this is a flawed test and the rules are stacked against public schools. Case in point, school should have had 100% and rules made it impossible.

Mooresville grad gets stint with Letterman show
booger Sunday, May 19, 2013: 5:16 pm	What an experience! However, internship for a show that the host makes $100 million!!!! Get paid!!!

Parents eye Carpe Diem charter school for county

booger Wednesday, May 15, 2013: 3:53 pm

Read through the parental comments here: We want smaller class sizes, less freedom, more rigor. Hum, imagine if we could implement that in public schools? You know, the ones we already have? The ones we're destroying to have more testing and less freedom? Wow. We can do this with what we have if people would engage and tune into what's going on and what's at stake. Get rid of your schools, and you've cut off your town - especially this one.

ISTEP results should be scrapped this year
booger Sunday, May 5, 2013: 5:49 pm	Yes, they should be scrapped BUT school grade, teacher pay and voucher system all part of scores on these worthless tests. And, by the way, both our legislators voted for vouchers and more testing.

ISTEP testing on hold again

booger Wednesday, May 1, 2013: 12:02 pm

Everyone in education said this would happen and it has. The legislature ignored it and gave MGraw-Hill a $100 million contract. Make sense? Nope. But, makes them a lot of money. No one in their right mind would go into education in Indiana. Record retirement and record decrease of math and science and reading teachers across the country. What happens when the test we count for everything, don't work? Who is held accountable now? This is out of hand and out of this world crazy.

Students choose C, D, F rated private schools
booger Wednesday, April 24, 2013: 11:02 am	This is mind boggling. So, my tax dollars are being taken from my local school (which hurts my local community) and given to fund a private school that has an F ranking? This is what happens when the public doesn't know what is happening behind closed doors.

Starbucks should stay neutral in gay marriage debate
booger Monday, April 22, 2013: 12:06 pm	Yes! They should follow in Chic-Fil-a's footsteps and stay neutral.

Educators unhappy with voucher expansion vote
booger Thursday, April 11, 2013: 12:19 pm	This is just creating one bigger mess. Oh well, Jerry Springer is coming on, gotta run!

Indiana’s union membership hits historic low

booger Monday, March 18, 2013: 6:25 pm

Bust them up so we can have no healthcare, no living wages, no standard of living. In the old days they would just bring in scabs or immigrants, now they just move shop to China or Mexico. Never for unions protecting "lazy" worker but working men and women need a voice and now the Chamber of Commerce and corporateers have workers right where they want them - exactly like it was at turn of 1900's. No rights, no wages, no voice. No one will laugh when they can't afford to even live in towns like Martinsville anymore. You live in a union, marriage is a union, God, son, Holy Ghost a union, but God forbid you belong to one.

MSD tries to avoid teacher evaluation issue
booger Monday, January 21, 2013: 3:50 pm	OK, so who should be blamed if there is a bad teacher in the school? Who is missing from the "buck stops here" mantra?

MSD tries to avoid teacher evaluation issue
booger Sunday, January 20, 2013: 8:14 pm	LilaMae, Teachers today go through more training, more testing, more licensing requirements than most professions that exist. As with most of education issues, people just don't know or understand that issue.

Gun restrictions won’t do much, store owners say
booger Friday, January 18, 2013: 1:05 pm	What do you call one radical calling another person a radical? Todd Rokita

Glenda Ritz win is just one of the union victories nationwide
booger Sunday, November 18, 2012: 4:59 pm	Got to love the media. The Indiana teacher's union barely worked on this race and still gets the credit. Ritz victory was a people and local school control victory.

Just let me teach: The aftermath of an election
booger Thursday, November 15, 2012: 8:13 pm	Eric Bowlen is one of the harderst working, pro-education, for the kids, good morals, husband and dad principals my family has ever met. Say what you want, and I just did! Just Let Em' Teach!

Another four years of this?
booger Thursday, November 15, 2012: 2:27 pm	It wouldn't matter if Big Bird was president at this point. We'd still be upset. And, he'd still be a big yellow bird. Life goes on. Move on.

Oakley celebrates Ritz's upset
booger Wednesday, November 7, 2012: 1:09 am	Wow! Huge win for education and kids!

Church donates food to Red Barn charity
booger Monday, October 22, 2012: 1:51 pm	This is wonderful and it's a great reap and sow example. I imagine the church will see a full harvest soon! You cannot outgive God!

Beware ‘conservative’ Dem.
booger Wednesday, October 10, 2012: 11:34 am	No, the 1940's were a great time: Hitler, WWII, Great Depression. We just still have the same sidewalks. You don't want a real debate and neither does Peggy Mayfield. Just ask her.

Beware ‘conservative’ Dem.
booger Tuesday, October 9, 2012: 1:06 pm	It wouldn't matter if she walked the parade with Jesus in this town. Would it? I hope He doesn't, because the sidewalks on the parade route down Washington street are still from W.P.A. 1940.

Beware ‘conservative’ Dem.
booger Tuesday, October 9, 2012: 7:43 am	Um, she is pro-life - it's the sole reason she was not even allowed to run for Vi Simpson's senate seat. She's pro-God, pro-gun, pro-traditional marriage and for education. She's also the only practicing cancer nurse in the GA. But, nice try.

RCA/Thomson retirees upset about the loss of life insurance benefit
booger Friday, August 10, 2012: 12:17 pm	Get used to it. No one cares about their fellow man right now, only what effects them. Nothing American nor Christian about that.

Engineer: Annex led to jobs for neighbor
booger Wednesday, July 25, 2012: 11:10 pm	New Slogan for Martinsville: WE LOVE OUR GUNS and NO! (Yes, that means to everything!)

City developing downsized annexation plan
booger Monday, July 23, 2012: 3:17 pm	Our Founding Father voted for a FEDERAL Constitution, grabbed land, and enacted hefty taxes and compromises after the War to pay for the enormous debt. Remember, the Article of Confederation did NOT work. Too weak. Go read your history!

It’s time to quell excessive partisanship in politics
booger Thursday, July 19, 2012: 2:34 pm	You win! Have a great day!

It’s time to quell excessive partisanship in politics

booger Wednesday, July 18, 2012: 11:25 pm

I say have Obama and Romney be co-presidents and give the billions they are going to spend to charities. Save us lots of money and time and BS. Neither one of them would please 50%+ of the country no matter what. And, by the way Ron, Jesus wouldn't belong to either party. The Bible clearly states those who covet wealth and money are wicked and will not enter the pearly gates.....those who don't love thy neighbor - those who don't treat "aliens" as their own, etc. etc. etc. I know you already know this. And, I am sure you also know Jesus hung out with prostitutes and lepers and the absolute scuzz of the earth when here. He loved them all.

booger Wednesday, July 18, 2012: 5:42 pm	I'm almost dizzy from the ignorance being posted on here. Liberals? Are you serious? Seriously? Morgan County? It's official: The water is tainted. Only nice explanation I can offer.

Boneham brings Libertarian ideals to governor’s race
booger Sunday, June 17, 2012: 10:40 pm	Why not vote him in? Couldn't be any worse.

14-year-old killed in ATV accident
booger Thursday, June 14, 2012: 12:32 pm	So sad. May God be with this family. Wonderful, kids.

Oakley: Goal still to oust incumbent
booger Thursday, June 7, 2012: 4:06 pm	He'll be back. This just wasn't the road this time!

Oakley candidacy might be over
booger Thursday, May 31, 2012: 8:44 pm	I know the kid worked hard and traveled to many places and was a positive voice for public schools and our community. Put Martinsville and Morgan County back on the map as a good speaker and polite young man. I have met him several times and think he has a bright future ahead of him.

Schools celebrate top students
booger Thursday, May 24, 2012: 11:57 am	Many of these top kids are teacher's kids. Congrats!!!! Good luck to all of you!

Demolition process must start over
booger Wednesday, May 16, 2012: 1:26 pm	The Christmas lights are nice.

Bray, Mayfield win GOP primaries
booger Wednesday, May 9, 2012: 9:55 pm	So, a Democrat can be pro-life, pro-gun, pro-God, and still have someone bash her on her without even meeting her? And, how much longer do you think electoral paralysis is going to serve us? The next generation of voters are going to sidestep the party system. Neither party serves the people now. They only serve whoever can give them the most money.

5 candidates fined for errors
booger Wednesday, May 2, 2012: 9:56 pm	Better get them elected fast! Might as well as long as they have an elephant next to them.
