I have to agree with Yeu. People need to be more responsible for their actions and how they raise their children.
On a similar note, the president I want is one that is looking toward the future and forsees the troubled water ahead. When Nixon took away the backing of gold to our currency it enabled inflation to easily rise. The national debt is in the trillions. We continue to print money. Why do people invest in finite things such as gold? Has anything been done about social security? When the baby boomers retire do you think that they will just print more money? It costs 2 cents to print a dollar bill. The rate that things are going the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer, while the middle class will get disolved into either category.
If anyone has these similar concerns I suggest you hear more about the real deal from this book, "Why We Want You to be Rich." I'm not trying to plug this book but it is very insightful and I think many of you would enjoy it. The book is by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki.

 

Lol my school isn't big enough to need cops or metal detectors. It is a highschool of about 450 kids, and a high percentage of them are well behaved and the rest are in alternative school. And as for repairing I WAS talking about it falling apart. We had to wait for 2-3 years to get new roofing(YES roofing). Everytime it would rain we would have brown puddles everywhere and everyone would get sick because theres like 30+ years of nasty stuff built up between the ceiling and the roof. So now you know why we should raise taxes...for the LITTLE things.

 

Are you serious????? Grades alone. So a kid who is a total nerd, no social life, involved in ZERO extracurricular activities has priority over let's say a 3.5 gpa well rounded student -- particpated in atheletics, student groups community service etc...

What about SAT's, SAT II's, ACT etc? What about the students that helps raise a family, goes to school, and has a part time job? Some schools are known for being lenient or having poor education and a 4.0 in one school might be a 3.5 in another. Should this not all be taken into account?

I hope you were implying that college acceptance should be based on students qualifications and not quotas. If that is so, I totally agree.

 

well it looks like the donkey winds the house...Lord help us......
