Dear AKQJ10,
The Sun has reported previously about the thousands of MGM Mirage employees who are transferring from their current properties to CityCenter, and how the company is backfilling their old jobs with new hires.

The focus of this story is how, in this recession, previously employed folks who have been out of work are finding work with the opening of CityCenter.

Hey vsestini,

Your comment indicates you aren't prepared to engage in thoughtful ideas and feedback.

You say this program is a waste of time and then you criticize the district for not being "creative, innovative and inventive." So I'm guessing you didn't even read the story.

Comments ought to be on-point and advance the discussion.

Posted on: UNLV researching why so many freshmen aren't ready for college

lv_spiff, BINGO! I think it's about study skills, of students lacking the discipline to read material that is not discussed in class but is still part of what will be tested.

I am betting incoming freshmen are ill-prepared for tests that exam their full sweep of knowledge of the material versus what was just discussed in the classroom.

If that IS the shortcoming, how best address it? Encourage high school teachers to test information that's in the reading material versus just what's discussed in class.

environprotector,

please re-read my post. I'm not aware that I was engaged in any name calling.

As a general rule, I'm thinking it would be helpful to these discussions if people would read carefully and respond thoughtfully. Just sayin'.
