**Question: Do you think teachers should be given guidelines for homework assignments?** I think most teachers have enough sense to follow the guidelines that had been accepted by the school board–10 minutes per night per grade.

**Question: Is it important to retain bilingual over English speaking teachers if job cuts are necessary?** The school district should only be concerned with keeping the best teachers. It’s god that they don’t look at nationality, but why are they concerned with certifications and seniority? Our kids deserve the best education from the best teachers. […]

**Question: Do you agree that a lawsuit isn’t frivolous until a court declares it so?** Frivolous lawsuits are a plague on this country’s court system.

Of the three comments that I have sent into [My City Daily][1], two of them have been published. * [Self-Imposed LGBT Segregation][2] was [published today][2p] * [Is Texting While Driving Dangerous?][3] was [published on Sept-22][3p] The [other one][4] that wasn’t published, was probably just a little too much over the top. I kind of figured. […]

**Question: Do you think Chicago’s “gay-friendly” high school is a good idea?** The creation of a “gay friendly” high school is an admission by the Chicago school board that they have been unable to create an atmosphere of tolerance throughout the rest of the school system. This will only perform a further disservice to the […]
