VOX POP

For those of you that are judging us who work in the school district, please do not judge us until you have walked in our shoes and do what we do. We don't come and judge you at your job. Please don't judge us. If you want to find out what it's all about, what we do and why we deserve the time off, come and volunteer. Then you will know what we go through.

Positive side of swine flu?

Instead of looking at the negative side of the swine flu, let's look at the positive side. Maybe this will give us an impetus to sit there and slam our borders shut and keep the flu over there in Mexico where whatever it does it does and try to keep it out of America. Second of all, if we get lucky and stuff, maybe it might take out the school board and they can stop making such stupid decisions.
