Hebron Dollars & Sense

The e-notify system at the elementary school sends out TWO duplicate emails each time for notification. That's another issue for another day. Today's e-notify was to encourage the recipient to take a survey. The survey is faulty and yet, at the close of the survey they will release numbers supporting or rejecting the idea with BOGUS information because there are no controls in place for responses.

Here are the issues:

(1) no control over one person taking the survey multiple times -- clear out your cookies and history, you can take it again; (2) any one with internet access can take the survey .. NOT just the parents of children in our schools -- simply click on the link to be connected to the survey; (3) they do not state whether the Chinese mandarin lessons will be taught with Rosetta Stone, software or are they "planning" to establish another position with salary, benefits etc., etc.; (4) survey was never checked or proofed ... that is IF you answer "NO" there should be no more questions yet, when I answered "no" to the first question, #3 through #8 were flagged in red because they required an answer. An individual who responds No doesn't need to choose best times for lessons, the number of lessons and what they would be willing to pay -- since I had to answer those questions before I could submit the survey, I was actually able to check all three choices under questions 3 through 8 and the survey was accepted with three check marks per answer. (Who will determine what answer is the correct answer?)

You want these individuals teaching your child technology? Beyond ridiculous!!

PS We have no children enrolled in the school in town

I Will Vote The "Chicago Way" To Prove This survey is Just A URINIECE POOR attempt At Listening 2 The public & Is A Creation Of Ann Baldwin Nothing More

EARLY, OFTEN & TOMBSTONE


It's Nothing More Than a PR Sham Ounce Again

I started to take the survey, and then noticed the choices re cost. I can barely pay my bills now, let alone when the governor finishes with his tax increases, gas prices continue to climb, and my property tax bill increases. I can't afford a luxury such as this. So I didn't finish the survey. But those flaws should be eliminated.

The good news is that if they are thinking of charging for this, it's probably not going to be coming from taxpayers' pockets.
