It all boils down to the parents. There is a direct relation between kids performing well in school and parents putting in the effort with their kids.
Schools like St. Dom's, Vineyard, CMCA tend to have enrollment where folks have like-minded beliefs/goals. The test scores rate about the same as a good public school.
How much effort, as the parent, are you willing to put into your child's education? Are you willing to do flash cards, work on their reading, making sure homework is done properly, asking them about their school day, chatting up their teachers more often then a yearly conference to make sure they're on track for their grade level... if you are, your child will perform better in school.
If they're only putting 6-8 vendors on a page... and there is 13 years worth of vendors.... doesn't 536 pages appear to be kind of a short list?
Between the Portland democratic machine using operatives to libel/slander Cutler and the Lepage/Poliquin follies of recent, many dangerous political precedents have been set during the last 18 months.
We, as Mainers, should be worried that "scorched earth tactics" are now becoming commonplace with elections, state government politics, and agency management. There's never really been anything like this in Maine politics that I can remember. Can you?
Check out current rates chart, L/A 'pike users are stuck paying a very (unfairly) slanted rate. I hope they get it right, but historically they're not trending towards the right direction.
Dem/GOP shouldn't matter on this one. If you live in L/A, give MTA and the folks in Augusta an earful. We (L/A residents) should not be picking up the tab for Portland and Southern Maine 'pike users.
They lobbed you a softball and the best you could do was some lame three little pigs line?
The appointment seems more like a classic "thank you" from ol' Gov for her extended family (Crafts) backing him during the election campaign. Very disappointing the SJ failed take the extra step and connect the dots. If you look up the ME Finance commission reporting, their family gave ALOT to his campaign.
It seems lately, Lewiston city management will do anything to save a buck. They wait until the snow storms are half over before putting sand/salt or plows on the road. Waiting until the day after xmas to announce they're not picking up trees is par for the course.
What a load of bull

If both sides agree this is a bad deal...
"Both the conservative Maine Heritage Policy Center and the liberal Maine Peoples Alliance have said the settlement provides too little relief."
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck....
This IS a bad deal.
Really?
Red v Blue or Blue v Red aside...
This has all the makings of the gang who couldn't shoot straight.
I agree
Agree with you 100%. I'm glad my youngest will be through Pre-K this year.
The building and location are not suitable for education/safety.
Interesting observation

Outstanding
That quip made my day.
Really?
Still lame.
Swing and a miss...
