Lots more poor performance when more teachers start to leave because of things like this.

I don't think you're necessarily wrong here, but I think the catch is that there are currently no functional alternatives. The result is that city schools gets stuck in an endless feedback loop of poor performance.

I’m not understanding the problem, disaster is very vague.

Reply to Radon Mitigation by m0arpepper
Radon really needs long term monitoring as it can vary widely based on the season and weather.
I'd get a real electronic monitor and spend a year watching it

A reliable bus system, where busses actually arrive and follow a schedule.
Traffic laws that exist actually being enforced to remove the raging assholes from the road to make life safer for everyone else.

The fact that you are getting down voted for this just goes to show how detached from reality some folks on here are.
I'd be very curious to know how many of them have kids in RPS or actually talk to RPS teachers or admin.

Thank you bc I've called so many places and no one will accept it and I've been quoted prices from 8 grand to 24 grand! I don't have any family to help! My mom and my grandfather both died from addiction.

The views of the massive retail buildings and the highway are to die for!

If you want to see the good stuff in person you probably want to go to Tyson’s. First thing on google maps is Lenkersdorfer and there’s a picture of the oyster perpetual you mentioned

Also have an Xbox 360 w/ two controllers. I have a stack of games somewhere in the house. Will create a post once I find the games but selling for $100 just the console. Any games I find will come with.

That's honestly the worst of it. It's mostly just standard tract home bullshit otherwise. Same as most home builders.

Yeah, guy was head of global development or something along those lines. Didn't matter where he lived.
A lot of those aren't people's primary residence either. Like the Silva guy I know didn't live there full time. He was only here a few times a year because he owned a restaurant here.

It is a scam. The radon contractors will even tell you it’s a scam. I have installed 100’s of radon mitigation systems over the last 20 years. It’s basically a made up industry that preys on people’s fears. Bring on the downvotes.

That first link is good but posting a 3 yo thread is really unhelpful. Especially for such a specific request. Businesses close or decide to stop doing the specific thing requested. A lot of users like to act like the search bar is some godsend and turn their nose up at users asking a question and then they come in with an old linked post. Things change.
