I miss the old days when everyone voted and didn’t try and shame others for not voting the way they did. I don’t think it’s healthy to have unwavering allegiance to a particular party or ideology. We all change during our lifetimes based on personal trials and tribulations, and these...
Anyone who dedicates their time and energy for educating our kids should be praised. I consider instructing our children to be a true ministry.
I also think our educators should be properly compensated. Our society has historically taken our teachers for granted. As such, the state...
$90K to run a school speaks volume on inadequate pay in public education. Your wife and all of her teachers should be praised for their sacrifices, not to mention the bureaucracy and nagging parents. Your wife deserves more compensation and in addition, all other aspiring administrators need...
I wish that the NC legislature would start funding our schools at a more appropriate level. We are losing talent within our schools because a teacher can make more money working in a different industry while not being nearly as disrespected. I know that before a company decides to open up a...
Exactly right. As I stated in my earlier example, it’s much easier for a more affluent family to provide transportation to and from the charter school than a family who financially struggles as a 15 mile drive to a school can be a major deterrent when busing is not an option.
It’s not guaranteed at all, so I have no clue why you wrote the misinformation is wrong information statement. This is exactly why I pointed out the inequities associated with kids who could attend a charter but are unable to do so.
I have no issues with the non-boarding parochial schools being a member of the NCHSAA. Charlotte Catholic has been a great member for at least 50 years. I’ve seen Charlotte Catholic play football in the playoffs several times over the years and they were always a disciplined team. Often they...
I agree. Luckily we don’t have private schools playing in the NCHSAA playoffs. Parochial schools aren’t private schools, and there is a difference. They can be classified I guess as non-public schools, but not all non-public schools are private.
40 years ago we saw the pitchforks after the parochial schools although the NCHSAA bylaws stipulate that non-boarding parochial schools can join the association. Some schools were having a hissy fit because they got clobbered by Charlotte Catholic. The parochial outcries would flare up every...
Madison didn’t beat anyone remotely good. Their two wins were against the weakest two WNC teams. They had no chance against Reidsville and it probably was a safety issue.
I’m happy for my Cougs! I wish the best for the Mounties as they care just as much about Mitchell as we care about MH. Unlike some schools, we don’t have fair weathered fans.
