I totally agree. This format it stupid. Most days I just delete the email notifications from the…Read More Patch. This is the first thing I've even seen worth reading or commenting on. I'd love to see it go back to the original format. If they keep this up I will be discontinuing my account and say goodbye to The Patch.

The Bank of Pinole Building is in the control of the City of Pinole. The City has bungled every…Read More opportunity to rent that building. They pushed the Flower Cart out and focused on putting a Coffee Shop there, spurning a proposed Italian Restaurant and mishandling an actual Coffee Shop that will be opening elsewhere on San Pablo Ave. The vicious amateurs of Pear St (City Hall) seem to have no aptitude for Commercial Development or negotiating skills. And so the City suffers from the poor leadership and the empty spaces...

I would like to see a list of local schools and what the shortfalls in resources are? Maybe the…Read More local community can help out?

Lastly, society (including parents and kids) are letting our schools down as evidenced by the…Read More extreme truancy in Hercules and Pinole. Taxpayers give in the form of bond measures and parcel taxes. Teachers give out of their pockets. And our kids show their appreciation by skipping class. Sad.

Jessica,
This approach to funding the classroom needs to stop in order to return the teaching…Read More profession to just that, a profession. Teaching should not be a life-long stint in the Peace Corps. I easily spent $500 per year of my own money when I was teaching science in the district. I enabled the erosion of the public education system.
Enough is enough. Teachers need to call society on it. This means teachers also need to return some responsibilities to the administration. Currently, teachers have assumed enough responsibility to result in the scapegoating of their profession, but not enough responsibility to succeed at their profession.
Join the rest of the working world. Come to work and do as your told per chain-of-command. If you do not have the supplies you need, we'll hold your bosses, and ourselves, accountable.
Teaching is no different than being a mechanic or a police officer or doctor. We pay all of them what they are worth. Why is it different for teachers?

You can always change your provider if you're disappointed with service. I think…Read More "hit-and-miss" can describe a lot of health service providers, but Kaiser is among the best if the experts are to be believed. I've had nothing but the best service for about 40 years.

Kaiser is hit-and-miss, much like public schools. You might get an excellent doctor (or teacher) or you might encounter a real dud. I've encountered both.
I'm still scratching my head over a recent visit in which I had been up all night with a blocked esophagus since 5 pm Easter dinner. The advice nurse made a 9 AM appointment for me with my doctor instead of sending me to the ER.
When I saw my doctor, I was spitting into a cup because I couldn't swallow. I told him I had even tried to induce vomiting during the night. He noticed that the back of my throat was red--he said he worried that it was an infection. I told him I had attempted to induce vomiting, using the back of a fork. He said that the back of a fork is dirty, that my red throat must be an infection. Seriously? So only sterile things should go into my mouth? No comment.
He then asked me why I was there, that I should be in the ER instead. Really? Ask the advice nurse. He offered to call an ambulance. He then said he would call the ER to let them know I was on my way. He then showed me the fastest way to my car.
It was a very long day. I couldn't even swallow water. At 3:00, I was x-rayed. At 5:00, they did an endoscopy and removed the blockage. Twenty four hours of being unable to swallow might be something they want to try at Guantanamo. I would have said anything just to be able to sip some water.
It's far from the best, but it is affordable.
