children school writing
We need to make sure that every child in America goes to a school every day that is safe, will teach them how to read and write, do arithmetic and gain the computer skills necessary to allow them to compete in the global marketplace. If we can get that through the public schools, fine. If we can't, I'm all for parental choice in education to allow that parent to take his/her/their child to a school that is safe and teaches them, even if it is a faith-based school!

We simply cannot afford to ignore this research any longer.
area couple good stick team
I've told them that if they can stick around for a couple years, we could be pretty good. There's not a team in the area that's got sophomores as good as what I've got.

It would be very tough. That amount of space is rarely needed by one company, and it's going to be tough finding a single tenant for that property.

The students are extremely upset and feel betrayed. Members of our industry advisory committee are also quite upset about the decision. There may be some chance for appeal, but I don't know how likely that is.
