    Security needs to be a priority. Recently, a Hazelwood grocer decided to close it's doors due to shoplifting. Grocery stores are at risk in the inner city.

    There are many great residents who live in the inner city neighborghoods that deserve to have access to a grocery store. As a community, we need to prevent thugs and shoplifters from ruining it.

    The headline is quite misleading; the Charter Schools alone are not causing problems, rather, the Pittsburgh Schools are failing to educate students.

    Charter schools are good for the community; parents and students deserve an alternative to the Pgh Schools.

    Re: “Art of the Deal
    If you have a problem with any schools, do the following:

    -File a complaint with your state attorney general

    -file a complaint with all accrediting bodies (ai pgh - middle states for example)

    -file a complaint with the us dept of education

    IF you request info for the online school you will get a call from the "assistant director of admissions". There are over 300 assistant directors of admissions.



    They will call you three times per day to get you to apply. Expect the following questions or orders:

    Tell me about your educational background?


    Why is now the right time to go back to school?


    What will happen if you do not go to school?



    They will ask a series of questions for the purpose of using the information against you later.


    They will pressure you into applying.


    They will try to get a second person to get you to apply if you turn them down.


    They might get nasty with you if you do not apply. "Pain selling"


    They will address all objections you give them.....
