I am very concerned about the possiblity of a teachers strike and I think all parents should be. I already see problems in the schools that I am concerned about, and in my opinion it’s because quite frankly the teachers are starting to not care.

My daughter goes to a small school that is starting to not be so small anymore because of the growth in Madera, and in my opinion the teachers are starting to be outnumbered. The other day I was waiting for my daughter and I saw a class of older kids maybe 6th or 7th grade lining up to go to the bus. Two girls left the line of students and ran off before the teacher could see them, then when the teacher did turn and looked at her students she didnt even realize they were missing! Worse than that, my daughter has even come home saying her teacher tells them they give her a headache, etc. This is not the kind of thing I want my daughter hearing, it’s discouraging and just plain sad that some of our teachers are going this route.

I dont put all the blame on them, I also blame the school district for not showing teachers they are wanted and therefore making them want to work harder to take care of our children. Because I for one am not confident that my child is having a good experience in school and it doesn’t seem like any issues I bring up ever get resolved by the school, if anything they seem to make matters worse for my child when I do complain. What a sad situation for my child and for alot of other kids I’m sure. I grew up in madera and these are not the memories I
had of school.

The drivers may be polite and curteous but what does that matter when they show up 30 minutes or more past the time that you are supposed to be picked up or don't show up at all? They need to find a solution to this and because of them, some patrons of this service are missing important appoinments and are late to almost everything else they have to do. I hope that something can be done about this because I do not want to be late to an appointment or miss it completely because the bus does not show up or shows up late.

I think we should start a bounty fund, call it a reward fund so we can catch the person or persons responsible. Anyone who has knowledge of who might be responsible for these fires, please call the Madera Sheriff, thanks</p> My property was damaged along Berenda Slough on June 20th due to a fire suspected to be arson started.
