And I also wish some schools would quit worrying about not wanting to wear another school's colors and not wanting to go to school with them because they are rivals with that school. People need to care more about the well being of their education than whether or not they hate that other school in athletics or whatever.

Yes I understand that you may like your school but would you risk it screwing up when you don't consolidate or would you suck it up and do it for the education.

Really hate to slam people but some acted very immaturely about consolidation last year at the school board meeting. This is setting a terrible, horrible, no good example for the kids in the county.

As an '06 PV graduate, I hate to see PV go as a school. But this is what is best for the kids in Big Stone Gap and Appalachia. Whether we hate each other or not.

Don't be a coward and go to Burton or Lee High because you don't want to go to school with people from your rival school. You will only be running away from what's best for you. If you do happen to feel like you will get a better education at Burton or Lee High then knock yourself out. As long as it's for the right reason.
