The PE
Sandra Stokely wrote this scary story of a mother fighting a school district for allowing students to read “The Kite Runner”. If the mother doesn’t want her child to learn how to live in the real world and rationalize then she should be home schooling her. The fact the woman is trying to get her Master’s Degree in Education and she is fighting the use of this book is shocking. Wait. Wait. That degree is from Cal State Baptist. The photo by Bill Lewis is fantastic.
I love this story because it is a great talker. During my morning walk I griped about this woman with my wife. Someone overhead us and joined in.
If this woman is getting her Master’s and is such a concerned parent she should use this to talk about societal issues not play the blame game. Shame on you Kolb. Thanks Stokely for the talked read it here.
Menifee will incorporate on Oct. 1. So why write a party preview two weeks before? Space-filler. Read it here.
Claudia Bustamante left the paper with one last good read. A nice, up-lifting story about a new program at Temecula Unified. The lede is short, emotional and anecdotal:
Gabbi Pleasant had the brains but always ended up failing classes in eighth grade.
Enter the Delta Academy. The school-within-a-school at Temecula Valley High School is for select freshmen at risk of failing, not for lack of aptitude, but rather motivation.
"The only reason I didn't get held back is because I turned in extra-credit assignments," she said about eighth grade. Gabbi, 14, now a sophomore, finished her first year in high school with a 3.3 grade-point average.
This is what Education reporters should do. Bye Ms. Bustamante and thank you for stories like this.

Gee. YOU obviously never worked for the PE. You should change the name of this blog to "PE - THE ONLY IE NEWSPAPERS WORTH BLOGGING ABOUT." Let's see, 10,000 words dedicated to PE coverage, 10 for Sun coverage and none for LA Times Inland Empire, IE Weekly, etc. For being such an expert on critiquing news coverage, you sure seem to lack knowledge on the essence of balance. You should rename your blog, bud.
Out of curiosity, how do you know when these reporters like Bustamante and Salmon are leaving? Or am I completely missing these announcements in the respective papers?
