Wise County Citizens And My Appy People.

You want to help? You get what you need and run off.
Yes i know who your talking about. Im not a fool Jack.
Let me ask you this. You say your education got you nothing. How did you get into college. What did they look at? What transcripts?
You think your well rounded because you say UVA is a liberal arts school.
Well i attended one to. It made me look at a lot of things. Basically myself. Where did you miss that?

Don't get me wrong...I got A's in almost every class in high school...was 6th in my class...i'm just saying i didn't learn anything...i had trouble in some of my undergrad because i wasn't prepared well enough in high school.

I have looked at myself....and i know what i need to do...i'm a yankee man...this is not a stab at you...so don't take it personal...this is a stab at what this county stands for....and i haven't been able to pinpoint it yet....but i know it's not for the benefit of the people...

a little change never hurt anyone...for too long anyway...any blamed fool can look at the school system here and say, "something has to be done" and when a man wants to change it...granted, he went about it in the wrong way...he's shut down...because people want to be DAWGS or BLUE KNIGHTS or whatever for the rest of their lives...i've said it before and i'll say it again...i think that if all someone has to worry about is whether or not their alma mater is going to be shut down, they've got problems....

i just don't understand it?????? i've talked to a few of my students and all they were worried about was having to go to school with new people and sports...kids are missing the whole idea of high school...education...it's not a social life, or sports...it's getting a high quality education, which no one in this county is receiving....why do you think only 2 or so percent go to school out of this area??????? because their SAT scores are lower, they don't have enough AP classes on their transcripts, and they don't know how to write a letter of intent....

Something's wrong. Teachers aren't doing their jobs...teaching...they're teaching kids to memorize for a stupid test...those bloody SOL's...the worst thing that could happen to public education in Virginia....

Teachers should have to go through evaluations as well...there are teachers in these schools who couldn't even be a pimple on a teachers butt....yeah, they may have went to school for it, but you've got to know what you're doing and how to relay that to kids...and some teachers i've observed or had, don't know how to do it
