We can't have it both ways people. Today, I get to read about business opportunities going to other counties...no education = no higher paying jobs. Do you want to supersize that???Halfback "Carpetbagger"https://www.blogger.com/profile/06976202150964632056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613255034831961362.post-89804023986555949282012-04-04T08:42:24.320-07:002012-04-04T08:42:24.320-07:00Well said Billy!Well said Billy!CountyTaxpayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15470033724090000079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613255034831961362.post-36222460168141890022012-04-04T07:52:58.637-07:002012-04-04T07:52:58.637-07:00Maybe Big Mac can explain how his results are so f...Maybe Big Mac can explain how his results are so far . . . average ACT scores have gone down a full point since he came to town, Spending on the school system has tripled in the past 25 years and the number of students has only grown a net 1500. We spend $10K per student in places like Austin East and $4K in Farragut - compare the test scores.<br /><br />the point is throwing more money will not create this "best in the southeast" school system. Turning an old train station into a STEM academy is a waste of money.<br /><br />School board, Big Mac, commission, mayor - somebody needs to get creative. Picking the pockets of the taxpayers is not creative - it's lazy and predictable.billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398876296024069980noreply@blogger.com
