Yes, our schools should be proud. It is so sad!

Thanks we more like you are needed!

I also do not have a dog in the fight but I have lived in other states that have specialized high schools. These are neighborhood schools but also schools of CHOICE and when they have that distinction if a student lives out of the district, it is the responsibility for the student or parent to provide their own transportation.
Remember it is choice not compulsory for out of district students.

I have always been an advocate of a VOTECH high school also, that could be one of the choices.

BTW, all the individuals that have posted on this story about how to fix redistricting, please read the article for volunteers in the schools find one in your area and do your part to improve education one child at a time.

There are no posts so put your time where your mouth is and volunteer

All go back to civics 101 and we will all see that attaching bills or riders to the main bill is how the constitution is written. My concern is that any editor that uses third degree words such as Byzantine and Baroque in one sentence and Esoteric and Plebian (sic) should know that the readership of new papers have a sixth grade reading level. I have posted that fact previously.

This editor is concerned about and I am using his or her words "written in language unintelligible not only to most citizens" but to most newspaper readers.

Someone please, please correct me if I am wrong. I think it was on NPR radio that it was stated 80 years is considered life. However, you can earn 50 years of a sentence after 30 years of good behavior.

So if convicted this person, could only be 53 when released.

To bad, we urbanites do not have the chance to vote out the county commissioners along with those running for city elections.
