Re: School Board dropping the nuke
I have to say I FLIPPED. After I hearing the thoughts of many friends from different communities and doing some research for myself I FLIPPED ! Not to say some of my previous statements about cost are not true. However, finding out that smaller schools educate children better, are safer, and the low income kids fare better, I FLIPPED ! I have no problem paying higher taxes for better education, It's not about the money for me. Thanks R

If only all of those notions were true, you might have some point.

You do realize that these schools will still be small.
Re: School Board dropping the nuke
What you guys think, bout 700-750 students. I think we need 500 or below to get a good t to s ratio. R, I got most of my notions from U.S. Dept. of Ed.

You know that all you have to do to have a lower student:teacher ratio is to have more teachers...not fewer classrooms and students. In fact, by having a larger school that offers a broader curriculum, you will be better able to attain this.
And it's cool that you "FLIPPED!" Your flip didn't cost the taxpayers almost $200K.

I bet you did, love to see them, I doubt they claim any of that or that you comprehend variables in those numbers if they were to exist. And what's GC's pop.? That'd be a great fun-fact to use at these meetings.

Let's see, more teachers=more classrooms, broader curriculum=johnny can't read good, $200k=5 deaf & dumb bos.
