Perhaps Fayette County will open their eyes after the latest guide to schools in Atlanta magazine, Fayette County may want to call themselves one of the best school systems in Georgia, but they are falling behind in technological advances, community based activities for students, and professional development services. Colleges are expecting more and more from students and Fayette County is offering less and less. On top of all this Fayette County can't even manage their school system to make sure the correct students are here. They may have one glowing school in the county but people in all the school districts are paying the exorbitant taxes and all our kids should be getting the same education. I'm hoping that people will skip the county stop and start petitioning the State Board of Education to observe the schools in the county on a regular basis to get the real statistics of our schools instead of the recorded ones.

I keep hearing this woman's name. I have only talked to her once about my kid who lives in Fayette county going to a different school in Fayette where we live and pay taxes. I must say she answered the phone and was nice to me. This was about a month ago, she neither gave me hope, nor discouraged me, she was earnest in helping me and gave my choices. I think this woman is becomming a 'scape goat'. I retired from Delta and this happened to me a lot. The people who ...SHOULD... talk to you, couldn't be bothered, and you are only left with someone who would like to help, but can't, they are as powerless as you, they can't say, the people in charge are jerks, @@jjs etc. They have to stand there and take it cause that is what they are paid to do, meanwhile in their minds they would love to see you get to the right persons to vent. Your anger, in my mind, should be directed at the people on the schoolboard. They want the glamour, but no responsibily laid at their feet.
