PowerSchool/PowerRule

If you are a parent, grandparent, guardian or other involved with the education of a child in the Park Hill School District, then you are probably familiar with PowerSchool. For those of you who don't know, here are the cheat notes. PowerSchool is basically an online progress report of a student and his/her grades. We receive it usually in the early morning in our email Inbox and it gives the up to date view of quizzes, tests, project scores and overall grade for each student in the household (we have two) You can run but you can't hide, all is there to see. So, if a student "forgets" to bring a test paper home, no problem...PowerSchool knows all. Occasionally there is a glitch, but overall it seems to be pretty accurate.

My point? Why not have a PowerRule for those who "rule" our City. We just completed a year in office for two alderman, why not give them, and the others a grade for the year? I'll post a name starting tomorrow and ask for your comments. What did they promise? What did they do or not do for the City in your opinion? Opinions are okay, facts are better. You can give them a pass/fail or a letter grade...hopefully have something to back it up. This isn't a popularity contest...although if you wish, we can do that sometime too. Come on back tomorrow when PowerRule debuts!

I did not see mention of Mr. York on here. When will we be grading him?
