Those who want an education can get one and benefit from it. Those WITH an education tend to do better than those without.

AND
“The only reason that century’s elementary school was closed was due to low-test scores and another community wanting century’s tax dollars for their own.- – - let’s bus our kids all the way out to Bratt instead of keeping them in the 6 million dollar school we just built”

Test scores didn’t shut it down, low attendance did. It doesn’t matter how much you spent on it if nobody’s going there.

Six buses X ten miles X twice a day/bus X 180 days/year X $4/gallon/7-1/2miles/gallon=$11,520/year for fuel, assuming all were first taken to Century then bused to Bratt. If you accept that some live half way between Century and Bratt, the additional cost of transporting drops closer to zero since the bus has to go one way or the other to get all of them. (Wasn’t that problem on the FCAT math portion?)

AND
“- the test scores go, they measure them by the stupid FCAT. I graduated from – - and – - it took me 7 times to pass the math portion of the test. So let’s fire our teachers and staff because our students cannot pass a test that they can’t comprehend.”

No reason to fire them if they’re actually teaching, but no reason to promote students who can’t understand a proper test of what they should have learned.

If the test isn’t proper, fix it.

Just don’t tell the world you had to take it seven times and never understood it but should be promoted anyway.

David for simple math

The only reason that century’s elementary school was closed was due to low-test scores and another community wanting century’s tax dollars for their own. Ohh this makes a lot of since right, with diesel fuel costing nearly $4.00 a gallon, lets bus our kids all the way out to brat instead of keeping them in the 6 million dollar school we just built. That will save the county more money right?

As far as the test score’s go, they measure them by the stupid FCAT. I graduated from jay high school in 2003 and let me tell you that it took me 7 times to pass the math portion of the test. And all the practice sheets the teachers give you before you take the test is nothing like what the test is really like. So let’s fire our teachers and staff because our students cannot pass a test that they can’t comprehend. We can ace the rest of our normal classes, but not the FCAT test.
Teachers should not be forced to teach a test that students don’t need in the first place. As long as you can read, write, spell, do basic math, and know who founded our country, and that Al gore wasn’t the first man on the moon, you should get your diploma!

Now with this being said, you can call me a conspiracy nut, a boot licker, or a radical, but before you do, take a deep breath and think about this. With century losing both, the elementary and high schools and there being no real place to make a living except being a prison guard, who in their right mind is going to want to move in this town? This question is the KEY to this whole puzzle.

All of these events that I have covered are a part of an elaborate ponze scheme to try and consolidate Century with Pensacola so they can gain more tax revenue for their own. The people that run the government in all aspects are draining our tax money for who knows what purpose and we the people have to pay more taxes to these people who refuse to fix the real problem.

Just my 2 cents

Why????? To attend the same English/Spelling class that you did?
