A ROYAL PAIN!!!

William and Kate....
Charles and Di......
Who's invited?
Who got snubbed?
What is she wearing?
What is he wearing?



WHO CARES?

This is the United States not the United Kingdom!
If it were really important Walmart would be closed, there would be no mail delivery and the NHL would cancel their playoff games.

Since none of those are happening, why is every mainstream media outlet sending people to England to report on the Royal Pain of a wedding? Why do Americans think this is an event worth hearing about? The grocery checkout rag magazines and newspapers are flying off the shelves. Put the royal wedding in a headline and it will be gone in sixty seconds. Sort of reminds me of the time when everything in the stores had Martha Stewart on the label. That didn't last long till she washed out. They didn't learn from that.... they went to everything being Hannah Montana endorsed products. Everything from shoes to Mac'n'cheese had to say Hannah Montana. The retailers that fell for that took a big hit when the crap stayed in the stores for months.
But now it is William and Kate. didn't the colonists fight to get away from the rule of the Crown? So now our media is acting like the Crown is still in power in America when in fact it has no real power on the other side of the Atlantic.
Personally I will be happy once the wedding is history and we can focus on what really affects Americans. Idiocy in Washington, Idiots in Springfield an unbalanced budget that doesn't appear to be fixable.
But then neither is or main stream media.

So now that the school referrendum was defeated...

What is next?

Will the school board go back to the drawing board and come up with a new (better) plan?

What happens to the kids who are being required to learn in an environment that is not conducive to learning?

How does the school district get around the mandatory PE every day for ALL students?

I can't answer these questions.

With the vote so lopsided 65% to 35% I have even more questions.

Did the voters vote no because they wanted a better plan?

Did they vote no because of the increase in property tax?

Did they vote no because they just approved a large sum for the new pool?

Or did they vote no for other reasons?

They air is full of questions and the School board needs to find the answers. Our children deserve the best education possible from what has long been one of the best school systems in the State. While what we have is still better than most, it isn't good enough for the school kids in Morton Illinois.

My challenge to the school board is to quickly find out why the vote went the way it did and change what was wrong so that ALL students in Morton's Public Schools get the best education possible!

**note two years ago I wrote about the school district and the schools here in Morton. What I wrote then stands today ...

WE HAVE ONE OF THE BEST SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE

We need to make sure it remains on the top. and we can not do that with 3 facilities that are over

crowded and one facility that is not hadicap accessible.
