Hispanic group accepts apology for city attorney's joke

Brian Vandale said,

"Now that the he apologized for his actions. Emett Alvarez should apologize for mocking us English speaking people, for his comment about is it written in Spanish also.But I think there has been enough crap over who said what. The City Attorney should really apologize to every citizen, and the council.For the arrogant way he presented himself, after being asked to explain his comment.It's very unbecoming of a public figure (servant).But this is just my opinion after watching the council meetings.To me it was a total lack of respect towards every one" - 2 hours, 12 minutes ago

Goliad behind in reading, advanced in math scores

Roy Mark said,

" A "test" is supposed to measure a person's knowledge of that subject. If a subject is properly taught and learned. test scores should be no problems. The Supt of Goliiad school opines " You do have to look at how the students are going to be asked something and what they are going to be asked so that you can make sure you are using strategies in your classroom for them to be successful. ... Kids will get better at it, and teachers will get better at it," Paulsgrove said. "Years ago many years ago some students for spelling test would memorize the spelling of the words is strict order of of the words in the list. Given the words in mixed up order they would fail spelling. As the Supt says "Kids will get better at it" Better at passing the tests perhaps but no guarantee that they LEARN more about the subject.

Goliad behind in reading, advanced in math scores

Rebecca Atherton said,

"I admire teachers for having to balance what they know about how children learn and develop with ignorant mandates that come down from the state. I can't imagine being a teacher in a world where every child is expected to read at the same age, expected to sit when they should be active, filling in bubbles when they should be building and exploring. More hands-on and less bubbles!" - 11 hours, 10 minutes ago

Goliad behind in reading, advanced in math scores

Eula Pfenninger said,

"If the teachers could teach reading, writing and math like they use to, instead of only having to teach for the test the state requires, What happen to the old ways? I know teachers probably hate to only teach for the test, that is what I heard a lot of folks say. Then it looks bad for the school and the teachers. I think they are doing a great job, If the LAWS stay out of it." - 13 hours, 57 minutes ago

"Because, Mrs Ramos, it isn't illegal for two council members to meet. Armstrong and Polasek were, at that time, both on council. That's two. The City Attorney isn't a member of city council. Neither is Mrs Garrett. You've asked that question before. Do you not understand? No matter how many times you bring it up, it STILL ISN'T GOING TO BE ILLEGAL. Read up on the Open Meetings Act to learn about violations. " - 1 day, 5 hours ago
