They have a policy that deprives students of their right to be faced by their accuser or to have witnesses on their behalf. BMS dean of students Mark Sade lied on my 6th grader and was supported by Linda Goff. They suspended our son and Barry Anderson refused to hear us. These people are frauds and put their interests first. Shame on BMS administration. Bettendorf School Board is less than honest.

I have no debt! But to see everyone, on the same day and month to stop using their credit card and stop paying their credit card bills and declare bankruptcy all at once! Awesome idea...that would be a treat. Awesome! I have no debt!

I called them and wrote them a letter and they wouldn't budge. I told them that they could either put my interest rate back where it was or I wasn't paying it, because I cannot pay 30% interest and WILL NOT PAY 30%. So they could have gotten their 10.99% and I was paying "Before Time" now they will get nothing. I own nothing without a mortage or loan/lean on it. Guess they can take my birthday.

It's unclear to me as to how the decision to withold the live broadcast of the presidents speech unfolded. Was this a school board decision or was it made by an administrative group? Regardless it's disconcerting that obviously this school districts threshold for controversy is so limited that it would forsake it's responsibility to lead parents and the community regarding the importance of developing the ability to hold multiple perspectives, especially opposing ones. Their apparent blindness under pressure to grasp this as an opportunity to assist students in using the tension around this speech to advance the concept of critical thinking skills sadly calls into question the depth of their collective skill.
