Cesar,
ReplyDeleteI like how clear your blog is to navigate; your titles and layout make it really easy to read. I had a problem getting the link to your articles, though. They didn't work for me.
Your article on vouchers for families to go to private school is an interesting problem, and it directly relates to a problem Mohamed posted on his blog (about the lack of finding qualified teachers): https://loveyouent3003.blogspot.com/2019/05/just-florida-thing.html
I think the voucher system will further exacerbate the public school education quality / lack of teacher problem.
It was also interesting to me that you have an article about vehicle burglaries in your county. I posted a similar article on my blog entry: https://inspiredbysusan.home.blog/category/assignment-5a-local-opportunities/.
After thinking about the problem some more, I had found that this issue affects more than just vehicle owners (and as you noticed, but I missed in my own thought process: business owners). I also came up with people who visit our areas, the police department, and realtors.
It is actually pretty sad that this issue seems to be on the rise in many areas. It says a lot about our society.
