Where were you folks when both Presidents Bush made similar talks to school children???? Could it be there is something other than your high-sounding platitudes involved? This will be on C-SPAN, where there is no Fox News bimbo to tell you what the President "really meant."

I'm not sure, but I would think that most schools in the county would be Title I.
I do know that the original decision to have art was a result of the principal and Ms. Harrison convincing the other teachers to give up a classroom teaching unit so she could teach art to every child in the school. In other words, there is one less classroom teacher at CES than there would be otherwise, and that unit is used for art. I don't know where the new teacher units came from.
The point is that in a system like Chilton County, the principal is the one who has to make this happen. I am sure there are teachers who would object because that would raise some class sizes, and there is the perception that the art teacher doesn't work as hard as the others, has it easy because she doesn't have a homeroom, etc. I don't think that's the case, but I know that perception is out there.
Bravo to the leadership at CES, and to the teachers who support this decision.

To get back to the subject, my 2000 Toyota 4-Runner has 224,500 miles and runs better now than when I bought it, 210,000 miles ago. I've spent LESS THAN $1000 in non-maintenance repairs in almost NINE years. Before the 4-Runner, I had two Explorers and spent multi-$1000's keeping them running, especially brakes. To me, the choice is easy.

Steroids have hurt, as have the salaries. But the lack of continuity from one year to the next, players jumping from team to team (those salaries again), not being able to latch on to a team and really identify with all the players -- that's why baseball doesn't engage me like it used to.

I taught Robert when he was a student at Verbena High School back in the early 1970's. I too am devastated to learn of his untimely passing. Even then, Robert was a fine man and someone I was proud to be associated with. My deepest sympathy to his family, friends, and the community.
