Mr. Anderson-
I can guarantee the late Capt. Joseph A. Walker would be extremely proud.

This is the kind of education professional that the LAUSD needs to hire! Introduction to tech at an early age is the coolest gift in the world! People today need to integrate a new curriculum into the public schools…they got around to teach me algebra inn sixth grade…I pretty much was getting straight A’s in Basic Math for for years before it was “time.”

Off topic comment, unrelated to article….
“IN GOD WE TRUST” …. in gold nonetheless…
…..A mayor who probably doesn’t even live in this town. A city with no sense of achievement. A local government hand picked from a list of businesses that helped maintain an image of a madman. Corrupt procedure for local committees. A train track separates those worthy & the peasants. An ever threatening EYE surveying or every move…with not one reason of why it needs to. Prohibition on a state approved measure allowing medical marijuana, as well as its safe access. The over abundant usage of commercial retail zoned land next to schools for liquor stores. The constant DUI checkpoints never netting any drunks. A Blvd that is always being used for a private soiree. Stringent laws(gun control:Mayors Wife & fireworks from his events causing fires) that only seem to bother the citizens. One source of retail,unless you want to get drunk….
It keeps going. I voted against this crooked POS in every election. Helped others campaign. Republican or democrat anyone that sees this man as a role model for other municipalities….I worry about you.
Thank God we have people like Mr Anderson who take the future seriously…and without a selfish outlook!!
