I post two messages from Mr.Sittko, and then "Keith's Comment" :

If he did, I imagine his 'solution' would be less simplistic: Blame the teacher; fire the teacher! Regarding his demagogic name calling of small business people called landlord/developer; I would ask him to take a 'time out' and find a better way to "Use your words" to convey his frustration and anger. Perhaps after that 'time-out' , he will bring to the class a better way to create less expensive housing for the families with the most need. And without buckets of government dough. I ask Mr.Sittko: How many houses did you build for low income people this month? How many rental homes do you manage without a boo-boo?
