not saying anything derogatory in regards to your comment but...

my twirler teacher said she was only being paid $45 for the 6 week class she taught...... and we met in a vacant storefront in spanish springs.

Not much compensation for her considering there were 8 classmates paying between $35 and $55 each to the LLC.

How is this such a surprise to so many?

Of all the issues that are in TV, good or bad or just informative, how did this one sneak under the radar of knowledgeable residents and management? (if it did that is).

How did this major element of TV life style process toward demise with no clamor along the way to closure?

If there would've been some public notice about this lawsuit, I am sure villagers would have stepped up to raise funds to accommodate whatever needed to happen to resolve this lawsuit. I have a hard time understanding how the accommodations could not happen. If they needed a hearing loop installed or whatever within the building I'm sure the money could've been raised to make that happen. But without the public knowing the situation we could not help. Now I hope someone will step up to the plate to figure out what can be resolved to rectify and revive the Lifelong Learning College.

I hope Louis Schwartz and friends think long and hard about the 200 teachers who lost their jobs and the 18,000 Villagers who are now denied the joy of learning in this environment.
Most of us, who have disabilities would NOT have chosen to hurt so many innocents by pushing for a settlement that made keeping this wonderful opportunity available.
Somebody's mother must be proud.

They didn't shut the doors...The Developer did.

Let me pose something to you.....if/when somebody becomes seriously hurt because of a argument with a seat saver at the squares and sues and then developer shuts down the entertainment... will you again blame the hurt villager, or the developer for not having proper security.

in essence I believe its the same thing....

Think about the real parties who are at fault in this situation and how a little money could have prevented this issue.
