  This is tragic. Notify the national media, write a letter to the President (or a Republican someone), make a BIG stink because this is an all too common situation and it stinks. And, you might want to contact other class parents and collect a cash going away gift for her. She may need the money as she gets her life back on track.

  That is extremely unfortunate! This teacher obviously embodies want many educators strive to be and she will be a loss to the education system. Being a teacher myself I know how perilous many of our jobs are at this time and it is horrible when any wonderful teacher is let go.

  LOL.. This is the reason why you should not live in California or any other blue state. If you want security then you should live in a state where they actually know how to govern money.

  Look at the map and the statistics.. Red states are doing better than the national average.. Guess people wished they would have voted for Palin.. She actually saved the Alaskan state money and they actually gave money back to each person and she actually knows how to budget and holding up the law while doing it. That includes giving incentives for people to work not giving unemployment checks to actors who refuse to get a committed job.

  GO Pelosi!.. Spend that money baby!

  It is so sad. It makes me sick that in these times sports figures salaries are going up and up and up and those that WATCH the games and pay for tickets are the ones out of work and losing money.

  I understand sports figures draw attention to the sports and bring in money so they should be adequately compensated. But, come on, this is a bit OTT! It's a bit outrageous.

  I'm so sorry your teacher is losing her job. We're losing some good teachers here in Georgia too - for a variety of reasons.

  the city actually spent very little on this parade, it would be inappropriate for the lakers to foot the bill, its like throwing your own birthday party for yourself. im very glad they threw it, having something to be happy about and celebrate in these times especially after hearing nothing but bad news for months and people complain is great! we needed something to lift our spirits, throwing this parade was the BEST decision, go lakers you deserve it!!!!!!!!!
