The test results may have just come back. Don't the kids take most of these tests in April or May? The timing is probably not KC's fault.
I don't understand why he was fired. He didn't bring it, he didn't drink it, and none of the kids drank it. Looks to me like they would have scolded him.
If he had provided it, that would be different.
Hope he has a good lawyer.
My child's school has an Open House a night or two before the first day, so parents can meet the teacher and children can find/see the room. My experience at our school is that the teachers and administrators are busy and stressed enough on the fi...
Bullseye Vic! Well done.
Vic, you are right in that parents really can't be held accountable...perhaps persuaded would have been the better word for me to have used.
For the record, I really like charts and stats. I know that probably puts me in the "nerd" minority
If a...
No Bob I'm from here. I am a hillbilly. I just had parents who insisted that I apply myself in school so I would be an educated one. :)
And yes, Oak Ridge used to be the center of academics in this area, but even Oak Ridge is changing drastically...
A good portion of the blame for low test scores should be on the shoulders of parents.
There are a lot of "babies having babies" in East Tennessee. The mothers don't take care of themselves while pregnant. Many parents do not take care of their c...
Jen, that is really super! Middle school is agonizing for so many kids. A lot of studies of adolescents show that's where some of the "Columbine" type kids begin to feel angry, picked on, and isolated. I'm very proud to hear that kc is investing i...
Some smaller counties do have open enrollment. The problem I could see with that would be providing transportation. That could be a nightmare for a county that it is "spread out" as much as kc. If you put that policy in place, I would think you wo...
Change Agent, if what you post is true and accurate, then this should be investigated by the News Sentinnel and the school board. The important question I would ask is did Dr. McIntyre tell you this directly as an individual teacher, were you in a...
As long as provisions are made for those who are without a cell phone AND the policy is changed to allow it, I think that's fine.
I am one of those rare West Knox inhabitants that recognizes that not every child has their own car, cell phone, com...
So what do you do when a kid can't afford a cell phone, Courtney? I know to most that seems insane, but I know a few who can't afford it. What do you do then?
Cathy, that was mean. I wouldn't mind telling you my real name, but then I would be afr...
Good post Vic.
I too love this area and the kids and families that are here. I really like my kid's school and the people there. I'm sincerely happy to read you love k'ville too. See, I did not know your heart was sincere until I read that. Now t...
Well, I wouldn't advocate cheating for one. How is that positive Doug?
I simply attempted to get some of you to think about the way you guys are always knocking this local school system down. You don't think it is negative because you guys have b...
So I take it Cathy, you would not be willing to treat your principal. How sad. I'm not a troll by the way. Why do you assume me to be female?
I just thought I'd take some of you to task for once about what you type about the system. You guys are ...
Dude, I don't kiss anyone's a**. That comment was ugly. If you watched quality television, you would know that Seely Booth is an FBI agent on "Bones". It is a cute tv show I indulge in on occasion.
Yes, CO - not HQ (use the correct term) is bloat...
