Is this development that is setting aside land for schools?
-
I dont know. I just know the state will only give counties the money for class space. So halls, cafeteria, gym, media center, etc. is not covered!

Some incumbants do a great job! Find out the problems and remove them. It is moranic to say replace all incumbants!
I say let's see what the BOC and the BOE can come up with. Our suggestions will not go very far right now. I will suggest that we ALWAYS replace incumbents at any cost.All we have done is said no to the bond. The ball is in their court. Let's see what they ask next.

What does that matter. I am a teacher and a parent and my voice matters as much as any other parent. I also have my own mind and NO ONE tells me how to vote.
The "parent" they showed is also a school system employee isn't she? -
VOTE YES!

Has no man than to lay down his life for a friend...
As a community I hope we remember this family as the one year anniversary of Tara's accident is marked. It is hard to believe a year has passed since her EOW on 9-13-05. God Bless this wonderful family and know we will be praying for each of you (BD take care of yourself up there!)

I think we ought to have a PETA swimming party at the Australian ZOO... Dont feed em( the Crocs) for a couple of weeks and then let the fun begin!

They are a rodent! Worse than rats so just be cool and get a CAT. Man I should be a poet.
The rat post got me thinking,I have a chipmunk problem. Don't say they are cute cause they are rodents. I have a familyof 5 maybe more. I want them gone!!!! My exterminator will not kill them. Someone help?????????
I am too slow with the bb gun. Why my yard???? I have holes everywhere and they chew EVERYTHING.

Yeah the Hiram game was very close!! Kicking game bit us on the behind in the end! A high school with a kicking game (like EP) will go along way. With that kicking game we would have won 16-7 because the end would have never had to happen. You learn and we will be ready for Region. Good Job Coach Dorsey and go Hornets!
-
I am afraid this one will be a 48-7 Harrison win (or worse)
In the other game I predict an upset- Hiram 27-21 over McEachern
-
Yeah you are a bright one!
Do I want to pay more taxes to support other people's loin fruit?- NOWill the schools go to double session? I could care less and it will regardless of my yes or no vote.
Do I think property taxes will tank?- yes, it will be great, I'll pay less taxes
Maybe all the people will move that have children- only if they can sell to seniors, homosexuals, or couples that don't have children
Then maybe the roads, etc. will be less crowded property taxes will rise again and the former school sites can be returned to forest land....

Hey Mach they have!! Ms. Sower has been pushing to stop them for several years. However, our wonderful Chairman doesnt seem to get it.
I believe the best line at the meeting is when good ole Jerry said " Dont ruin the good relationship that has been built between the BoC, the School Board, and our builders". HAH! What planet is he on!
But still voting yes!
-
I will VOTE YES!
Dont blame the school board for the BoC's destruction.
-
Voting YES!!

Well TBAR my friend we agree!
As a Social Studies teacher I see our kids are WAY out of touch with all aspects of Government and History. Even my AP kids struggle with it for a few months.
MORE SOCIAL STUDIES! YEAH.
I've had this discussion with some other pcommers before & they agree that maybe the US has done itself a terrible disservice.When Sputnik was launched, the US was bound & determined the Ruskies wouldn't beat us again. We're the best! We're #1! We're Americans & we defeated Hitler! The Ruskies can't be that bad!
Well, we decided to make math & science the "premier" subjects in our school systems. Emphasis was palced on those areas, while other areas like Language Arts & Social Studies were relegated to second place.
Then came the 80s & we realized that US students were lagging in reading. So we started pushing language arts anew.
But Social Studies got left out --- economics & history & politics were treated as secondary, less important subjects.
And now we're paying the price.
Basic economics is all but a forgotten study pushed back deep in the periodicals. The result is that few people can handle household economics, bankruptcies are at an all time high, & people actually believe that gas companies set the prices of gasoline instead of the free market.
Basic history is now revised & rewriten to include pop-politics that we were created as a "Christian Nation" & our laws are based on the 10 Commandments. The historical positions of the religious institutions have given way to a Domionists View of history that says the church should coerce unbelievers.
Maybe we need to start stressing some Social Studies in our schools. Just an idea.

I was trying to be nice but your post speak loudly on your true intentions.

Hey TBAR, thanks for dropping the Southern Baptist link from your threads. You dont speak for most of us. I can tell you there are MNAY quotes in history from our founding fathers concerning Christianity. So, be careful not to pretend they dont exist...

TBAR BEING TBAR...
WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON HIS HANDS!!

Reminds me of that house on 381 they have been trying to get a mil. for! After looking at it all it is is a unkept oversized Sanford and Son Junk store!

County Board Meeting 9/28/2006

What a disgrace that our chairman thought it necessary to "omit" the citizens comments on Comcast. It is even a bigger disgrace to see an elected official roll his eyes, and make comment under his breath at people like a 5 year old would do. I did vote YES for the bond and still feel ok about my vote.
However, I do believe in the long run the no vote will be better for our county and our kids. Finally the chairman will have to quit kissing up to the builders every time they speak at the board meetings and praising them for their "generous gift" or should I say their promise of the gift of $500! Wow what a sacrifice (sarcasm if you cant tell). This board makes me embarresed to be a Republican!
