John: Interesting concept. You make a strong case. Perhaps this explains why "early…Read More childhood education" programs have been so successful. They focus upon the child in his/her most formative years. I know I underestimated the value and importance of early childhood education, until I saw some of their data and results.
BTW, I'm not responsible for the order in which they are set out. That was the conclusion of the Educational Testing Service, from whose article this list was drawn.

Good points, but you place the factors in approximately the reverse order of importance. Genetic,…Read More economic, family, and environmental factors all come into play before the child takes its first step into a classroom. If the outside world beats them down and leaves them unprepared for class, it's going to be nearly impossible to teach them effectively for those few hours that they are in school.

I have been extremely frustrated in the past in trying to effectively communicate with Frontier. My…Read More developing sense was one of very poor live support.
I find it refreshing to see Frontier respond in a timely manner to this very public assertion. One can hope this is also occurring in your phone support, especially after hours...

I have spoken to Mr. Gaulke and assured him we are not cutting speeds in the Woodinville market (or…Read More any of our markets). We are working with him to approach his technical issues from scratch and will do all we can to alleviate his concerns about his speeds.
His business, and all the business from our customers in the Woodinville market is very valuable to us. While we are disappointed to receive feedback his service is not living up to our standards, we are grateful for the opportunity to work with Mr. Gaulke and keep his valuable business.
We welcome inquiries from other customers if there is anything we can do to improve. Please reach out to me at 425.275.8579 and let us know how we can help.

Frontier has spent the past three years expanding broadband to hundreds of thousands of homes across…Read More the US and increasing speeds in many of our markets. Mr. Gaulke’s experience and recount of his conversation with one of our reps comes as a surprise to us. We are checking our records to find out what the possible miscommunication could have been.
In the meantime, let us be clear: We are not decreasing speeds in Woodinvile, or any of our markets for that matter.
We will be reaching out to Mr. Gaulke to see if we can alleviate any lingering concerns.

I am so pleased and appreciative of this terrific group, led by our wonderfully focused Chris…Read More Hansen-you are keeping our hearts, souls, and dreams alive for our future NBA Basketball Team!! We will persevere! No fear-even if it is a few years off-this may be just a warm up for the final steps necessary to bring our Sonics Home!!! They are coming! One of your biggest fan and supporter!!

I'm with you Brent, except in one respect. Perhaps the Sonics would have stayed in Seattle if…Read More leadership, both Wasington State and Seattle, had generated a committed vision for a stadium. At the time, our local capacity for action was nil. Sacramento, today, has generated a serious, committed effort in an incredibly short time led by a mayor. Imagine that! So, noting that distinction, Howard, David, and even Clay, are kind of absolved. The threshold criterion in Stern's mind is the will to act on an arena. In that sense, he appears consistent. As for Howard, on one hand he appears to have had his one great imaginative idea when he opened the latte site. Hansen, on the other hand, is a creative generator. I still think a team will emerge, if not now, relatively soon, say within two years.

Could you tell I was a little peeved, Dan? Seriously, I absolutely agree about that Sacramento plan.…Read More So many holes it's ridiculous. It will be interesting to see how H/B/N will respond. They're successful billionaires for a reason. I'm assuming helplessly losing out on an investment isn't one of them.

Just watch a Seahawks game and tell me who has better fans than the 12th man!

Years ago my cousin lived in Seattle for a while. His observation about major league sports then…Read More was that Seattle would never truly be a big-league sports town because there is just too much to do around here. Skiing, boating, hiking, fishing, flying, climbing, etc., etc. I'm inclined to believe he was correct.

Congratulations to Wellington, Fernwood, Sunrise, Westhill, & Woodin for their successes. This…Read More is just another example of the superior educational outcomes in the Northshore School District.

Seems like this was a good time to sell our SouthEnd Mercer Island home of 25 years. JG-

Congratulations to the Canyon Park Science Olympiad Team for their sterling accomplishment.…Read More Culminating events like the Science Olympiad are just one example of how education has changed for the better in the last three decades.
