Participant[quote=BGinRB]I think Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar Elementary, SOlana Beach Elementary and Carmel Unified are all ranked higher than Poway Unified.[/quote]
I will never understand how Poway Unified got such a great reputation. Their schools look great in the test scores until you compare them to districts with similar socioeconomic status. Then they are just middle of the road, nothing special. I’m beginning to think “great schools” is just a code phrase for “no brown people”.
My wife is a teacher and doesn’t want to have anything to do with that district after talking to people who worked there. It’s hard to know what’s worse: the spoiled kids or their my-little-Johnny-can-do-no-wrong parents.
Disclaimer: I’m a homemaker and we’re homeschooling our kids, so I don’t really have a dog in this fight.
ParticipantWow, I keep seeing postings about 4S, but that’s the first listing I’ve looked at in the area. Seriously, what’s so good about it?
For that kind of money, I’d want a helluva a lot more than a big detached condo on a postage stamp in HOA purgatory.
Something like this would do nicely for only $16k more:
No, I’m not trying to get anyone’s goat. I just can’t figure out why 4S and similar developments are so popular.

ParticipantOn the programming side of IT, if you think you can wait for someone to throw a spec over the cubicle wall, you’re just another interchangeable drone … and you’re screwed.
Turn off the computer and go get some experience in the real world. Working on avionics? Go get a pilot’s license. Business systems? Go work in an accounting department or at least take some bookkeeping classes (no, QuickBooks is NOT real bookkeeping). Point of sale systems? Work at Radio Shack for a while.
Seriously, most coding is easy if you’re halfway competent. The hard part is knowing which problem to solve.

March 1, 2009 at 9:06 AM in reply to: CNBC Anchors Mortified that Ron Paul Was Allowed Air Time #357922Participant[quote=qwerty007]Well, this sort of thing happens. The oddest things is when the reporter says we’ll be back when something really “substandard” is happening. I don’t think he meant to say “substantial”, because he would have corrected himself. He must have been referring to the declining situation in the current crisis. Unfortunate choice of words. Very amusing.[/quote]
Again, I watched the video and didn’t rely on someone else’s interpetation or bad transcript. It wasn’t that hard to make out: he actually said “substantive”.
From a news perspective, the fact that Ron Paul was (correctly) ranting yet again about the Fed isn’t exactly the scoop of the century, so I don’t blame the CNBC guy for the “substantive” comment.
Moral of the story: go to the source and make up your own mind.
