call, beg for forgiveness. third did you know that you can save a bundle of money if you pay more than the minimum payment each month. don't be tempted by that very small payment each month, pay as much as you can to get rid of that balance. if you just pay the minimum it will take you 32 years to get rid of the $5,000 ballot average card. that is way too long, to be credit card zombie. i'm dan ricota, write a check out. we want to introduce to you our fox 29 junior reporters right the now. we have scoured our area colleges and universities looking for some of the best and brightest, rising stars out there one of them is a young woman you are about to meet, her name is lauren. the she's a student at villanova university but for the next few months she will be reporting from our area, shooting right there in vatican city in italy. very exciting. we have the world conference of families coming, lauren.

dry with those clouds giving way to sunshine. seventy-four for the high temperature today and then sunday is much more like a beach day. eighty-one for the high temperature. we only deal with sunday especially down the shore up early we will start off with a lot of fog and even some drizzle. that will burn off ape will give way to a sunny warm afternoon but sundays is a little glummy at least to start. lets look at that seven day forecast. seventy-seven in philadelphia today, clouds and sun. fog giving way to sunshine on sunday. much warmer. 84 degrees. that is a warm eagles game at the link. shower cold front comes through sunday night, fall begins monday and so do cooler temperatures as we fall back in the 70's for rest of the week. karen and lauren. >> new this morning we're tracking developments in the first new member of the fbi most wanted list. neighborhood in the poconos is basically in lock down in the search for eric frein. >> he has been on the run accused of killing a state trooper and also wounding another. we've got so many nerves on edge right now in social media fire with neighbors wondering

are they safe? lets get the latest from our reporter sabina kuriakose live at the elementary school there where people have been keeping the media there looking for the suspect. sabina, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. this manhunt is underway and it is intensifying as we speak from where we we're standing. we have already heard gunshots earlier this morning. we know police have surrounded the neighborhood about 15 minutes away from here where frein was last men to have lived with his parents. shots were fired late yesterday as well, and again, this is a developing situation, state police actively, vigorously hunting for this suspect cop killer. the it is a search like no others, tens of thousands of people listening live to scanner chatter on line, keeping up to date as police continue their hunt. this is second night in a row he police have had this area in barrett township surrounded and in lock down. frein is considered armed to the teeth and extremely dangerous. police want everyone here alert for the 31 year-old

survivalist reported to have a impeccable shot and hatred of law enforcement. jenny joyce reporting that state police, searched in central new jersey as authorities searched frein's relative home, including his grandmother home looking for him. they want this guy. this is a developing story. we are waiting right new for state police to brief us, on the current situation, hoping to hear where those latest gun bullets came from. we are here live, back to you in the studio. >> it is hard to believe summer is over and school is back in full swing. just a couple weeks ago children across the the tri-state area put on their best smile and posed for back to school pictures. we received so many tweets and e-mails and facebook posts of happy faces ready to tackle a new school year. not only are students expect to learn and get good grades in the classroom but they are also expect to behave and when they don't, some teachers have a system in place to try to put an end to that bad behavior but not every parent agrees with the way teachers

are disciplining their children. mother of four and former elementary schoolteacher jennifer bradley joining us on skype. jennifer, you recently wrote an article for on line newsletter germantown avenue parents about the stop light system. kind of tell us what it is and why you want teachers to stop using it. >> okay. the stop light system is a system that teachers use typically for behavioral checks on the students. what it is, it is a stop light at the top of the classroom in front wherever child can sianni anyone who walks in the classroom can see with a red light, yellow light and green light. much like a stop light you see on the road. however, this stop light has children's names on individual pieces of paper or pop sickle sticks or magnet that all children start out on green and depending on what happens throughout the day, the goal, it is to stay on green but as children have sometimes very minor infractions, they will have their name maryland moved up either by themselves or the teacher to yellow and or red. >> so what is your issue with

this system? >> my main issue is that it is public. anybody who walks in the classroom and all of the students can see where an individual child is that day. so that is the the most problematic part of it, when it is in the private, it is in the done one on one with the student or quietly with the student it is up in front of the room for everybody to see. >> so when you posted it, we have had hundreds of comments. people agreeing, some who disagree. here's one of our viewers beverly from riverside, new jersey. she sent out this video. take a listen to her. >> if all you're doggies giving reward, reward, reward, oh, everything is fine, everything is great, two plus two is six, yes, that is fine. it doesn't work that way. when you have consequences, natural consequences to actions and boundaries, children thrive. they need the boundaries. they need the the consequences in order to understand how

life works. >> so your reaction to that? >> i actually agree with what the caller says. i'm not advocating for teachers not to have consequences or not to have natural consequences, i'm not advocating for teachers in the to have boundaries. boundaries are a very necessary part of classroom behavior management. i'm advocating is for teachers to adopt a caring system that supports children and learning those school behaviors typically young children which is where we see these types of materials and method. we see them in k through second grade classrooms where children are just learning school behavior and get hit for every time they step out of line. i'm advocating for methods that allow teach tours really teach students and work with students and also peers to teach students and work with their colleagues in the classroom to learn more school behaviors and to learn how to be in a classroom setting. >> jennifer, thanks so much for your perspective. of course, we want people to

continue to join in on this conversation. if you agree, disagree, however you feel, make sure you send us a message using hash tag fox 29 weekend. >> all right, sometimes in life you just need to push the pause button, take a big sigh and let it all out and dance. look at this little girl. she's so adorable. we have the the story behind this cutie, coming up. ♪ >> i'm jay, with this week around the house. today's question is from alan major and she asks what can do i to update my bathroom without spending a fortune. >> easy thing to do is just to change out the vanity cabinet, new countertops, new faucets, the sink or tub area as well. changing out shower curtain to a very nice glass door, putting in a comfort high toilet. if you you already have have ceramic tile and in great shape but wrong color you can hinge that by having a

professionally repainted, you can also do that to the tub. so, if you need to change out the tub as well you can have that refinished and that will give you a fresh new look for the bathroom without spending a lot of money. if you have a question you want answered tweet us at fox 29 philly hash tag around the house. >> ♪

this is fox 29 weekend... >> this morning did you know that has many people shock this one stems from a vicious attack on the center city street earlier this week. so far several people have have been questioned but no arrests have been made just yet. social media played a huge part in tracking down men and the women. you see surveillance video. within hours twitter and facebook users managed to identify many of the people, many of them were in a picture taken at a restaurant and posted to social media sites earlier that evening. while people call this incident a hate crime, the philadelphia district attorney's office says it i will not be prosecuted as such. that is because according to the law what you see here ethnicity and race are the only factors prosecutors can consider for someone to be charged with a hate crime. that has fox 29 viewers fired up with rosie, summing up her feelings in just one word. she says, unacceptable.
