Topics for Mr.Kopf to write about

Posted in: Muscatine

What topics would you like Mr. Kopf to write about?

My topics are:

1. More on the restaraunts in Musc. I loved the piece you wrote LJS. Too much grease in the food for anybody's take (my quote, but Ryan warned dieters).

2. more on what the kids in Musc do. (Not only the "A" students or the athletes). Like kids who are in bands. Many of the kids who play band shows, do it for charity (like band shows for food drives, or bennefits for people who need money for hospital bills, or for people who have passed and they want to donate in their memory.)

I think a lot of people look at these band kids and frown, but they do not realize just how much good in the world they do.

3. MHS-I would love Mr. Kopf to write about a piece from the poorer/nclb point a view. I would like him to invesigate why so many parents pull their children from MHS and place them in other schools, like Wilton or L&M.

4. Animal abuse: It is horendous (sp) in this town. Mr. kopf, as well as others would be shocked and disgusted.

5. Single fathers raising their children. More than you even know. Kudos.

6.Why isn't there a skating rink for kids? A dance hall for kids? A better theater for kids? A mall? etc.... and people wonder why their kids are on drugs in Musc.

7.When Hon donates (literally) TONS of food at Christmas time, does it stay in Muscatine?

8. The Muscatine hospital. nuff said.

9. Why doesn't Muscatine recycle?

10. Why all of a sudden does the city care where people put their yard sale signs? Give me a break.

DF - I really agree with number three. What goes on at that high school? Why has no one else connected the dots? I can not tell you how many children have been left behind at MHS since the enactment of NCLB, but it's way to many.

This would be a great story.

All excellent suggestions, thank you! I hope to actually get some written hope sometime soon. I've been spending a ton of time reorganizing my organization (I'm starting something similar in Iowa City, plus doing web design) since I'm moving to IC to go to the University (of course I'll be here often too).

Investigating parents who remove their children from MHS might be a really neat-o topic! But the thing is, I knew the administration of MHS consisted of a few bumbling fools, and they already don't like the fact that I'm onto them. Fortunately the school board usually likes me ^_^

The one about things to do for kids I couldn't agree more. We really need more for young people - (ice) skating rink, etc. We have a ton for the atheletes (soccer field, kent stein, skatepark (it's a sport!), rugby field) but not much for all the others.

A report on AJ Johnson being bored might be in order too (aka yard signs, lol). He must not have anything to do after being prepared to potentially move to Iowa City. XD
