Out of county kids....still!!!

suggarfoot's picture

Is it ever going to stop?

I don't begrudge anyone's child an education, but I really resent...MY... paying for it and ...THEY... don't!

Our taxes are off the charts and I'm STILL seeing the OUT OF COUNTY KIDS!

Once in a while I take mine to school. This morning I was looking at the car in front of me because it was so pretty, It was a 2009 black Acura G something or other, and as the kid got out. I saw a Clayton county tag on it!

My question is why all the way from Clayton county to Sandy Creek? Has the school system not done ANYTHING about the people that have Fayetville address for mail, but live in Clayton county?

This is total BS!

A lot of these parents from other counties are renting apartments (ex-the gables in PTC) Paying $400 a month for a one bedroom that they never step foot in. This way they have a residency in Fayette County. They have been doing it for years.
Thanks,
Katie Wingo

I never heard of a Heard county, ga before. As you sure we aren't soliciting students to fill up the schools?

I do not doubt for a second there are some OOC enrollees in FC schools but you do realize, of course, that it is possible (and given the recent developments) somewhat likely that people have moved from Clayton County to Fayette and have not yet updated their car tags? Additionally, some people do drive company cars with out of county tags.

I'm afraid it is not the cost of a few OOC kids that is the problem.

Since Lincoln attended school, kids have simply moved close enough to go where they want. Or stay with relatives.
The tag thing might be someone with a car coming to take them to school---it doesn't mean anything---maybe even work there!

The problem is that they assume that a Clayton tag means another race trying to go to a better school and they don't want that.
Would you want your kid going to Clayton's unaccredited schools?

out of his district? Did you personally check his address and his car tag? Are you trying to start a rumor to discredit Lincoln? I always thought he walked miles and miles to school-was this just a PR ploy to make him look more like the common man? I think he was a plant myself--in all of his pictures he has a beard--wouldn't that make him a little old to be attending school in those days? And that business about studying by coal oil lamp--didn't you guys have electricity by then? Do you remember him being in school? Can they find his records, or is this like Bush and his military records? If called upon, will you be willing to vouch for him? And, hey, are you and his wive Mary Todd Lincoln related--cause they say she was Bonkers too?

"The problem is that they assume that a Clayton tag means another race trying to go to a better school and they don't want that."

The real problem is "you" believing you know and can articulate what "they" assume and want. You can't even speak intelligently for yourself, much less anyone else.

Oh, did you see any hot chicks on FOX today with short skirts? You gotta feed that fetish! I had to go to the office today and couldn't keep an eye out for you. Sorry.

Don't watch FOX often----only when that Georgia witch starts spouting off about hanging them bad men, (on CNN) do I check out the dandy Shepherd!

Oh, I'm sorry Bonker$. I must have gotten confused when you said this on 8/14/2009 at 6:57 pm.: "As to CNN sheep, I often prefer FOX due to the coral of stalls in the back room full of long-legged short-skirted women who are paraded out and positioned in high chairs for a good view."

Maybe it was one of your other personalities who wrote that? Sounds like you need to do a conference call with all your personalities to stop disclosing your fetishes.

Yeah, sorry Bonker$. My "satire understander" is so finely tuned it only recognizes and acknowledges "good" satire. Pretty elitist, I know....

"the hundred year old man" seems to be smitten with the short-skirted leggy ladies on TV? Seems to work them into almost all blogs. Just a little, a little, umm--just can't put my finger on it-but it may be time for all Mothers, to hide your daughters--especially if they are long limbed short skirted reporters.

You must be jealous?

fact that you lust after them? Wrong on both counts. I would be beyond creeped out if I thought you were watching me or anyone associated with me. And by the way, keep both your hands in view while watching those nubile young ladies on the tube, or the morality police will be knocking on your door,or are you in your locked bedroom in the dark with all shades drawn? You do seem to be obsessed with them.

I totally agree with your blog. I reported a similar deal a few years back. It is a known problem which gets basically ignored. I don't think they want to look like bad guys so heads just turn the other way. But, our county taxes should only be educating residents of our county. If you want your kids in Fayette schools, move here and pay like you and I do.

By the way, don't let that old fool bother you.

If there is a company that buys their employees 2009 Auras, the ..big..ones...tell me the name...I want to work there! As far as a well meaning friend driving ...all the way from Clayton county to Sandy Creek..to drop off a friends kid, I doubt that very much!

How you put race into this I don't know. But if they were purple...I still wouldn't like it. Now if you are inferring that the person was black and that they get a free pass....guess again...No body should get to go out of county! Period! Not on my dime!

Well you have to allow the doctors and lawyers, no matter their race, to attend good schools!

Maybe segregated schools would, long term, solve this problem. Then we could tell whether they were black, yellow, brown, or mixed just by looking at them and not plates!

Submitted by MYTMITE on Wed, 08/19/2009 - 5:47am.

to elememtary and high schools--see, the way it works, they go to elementary, high school, college and then Law or Medical School--THEN--they become lawyers or doctors. Unless someone has come up with a system that pre-determines at birth that they are a doctor or lawyer I think you just have to wait and see. You do know that that little kid in the comic strip named Doctor is really only a comic strip don't you? And even Doogie Howser, the teen-aged wonder, was in Med School not elem or high. And, psst, let you in on a secret---we used to have segregated schools.

And you wish we still did?

So stupoid--not funnie!

Submitted by MYTMITE on Wed, 08/19/2009 - 7:44am.

You are the one who said maybe we should have segregated schools and I reminded you that we had that--my implication was that we had moved on from that. Perhaps your brain was still fogged from watching those leggy female anchors and could not concentrate. I know sometimes they are hard to follow, but may I suggest you read your own blogs before posting or replying to others?

FYI, Clayton has no unaccredited schools. But you go ahead and drag race into it.

Clayton was unaccredited on 8/28/08...several months ago.

It was given a "provisional" a couple of months ago to see if they could "again" do better after several warnings.

I can't see where those schools could possibly be worth attending as of yet!

Maybe you put too much faith in state pride decisions?

You are looking for minor errors to have your way with OOC people.
Some of us can think deeper than others.

That is true Bonker$. On the other hand some of us can think rationally. That does not include you.

Clayton County Public Schools Receive Re-accreditation

Governor Sonny Perdue issued the following statement today regarding Clayton County Public Schools accreditation:

“Clayton County’s reaccreditation is a huge step in the right direction. SACS’s decision today shows the progress that can be made when a community rallies around its schools and holds their elected officials accountable. I also want to thank State Board of Education members Brad Bryant and Jim Bostic for their work with the Clayton board. Despite the progress, there remains much work to do and I encourage the community to continue to press for improvement. Unfortunately, this progress came only after students were forced to suffer the consequences of adults behaving irresponsibly. For that reason I will continue to advocate for Senate Bill 84, which would allow early intervention in the instance a situation arises like the one we experienced last year in Clayton County.”

You're wrong again, but what's one more time.

Oh, if I had know "SONNY" could make them good schools suddenly by announcement, I wouldn't have said anything.

I'll bet you have no kids in Clayton schools!

I can't tell, IS you playing stupid, or IS you stupid, read it again, or get a 2nd grader from Clayton to read it to you, and you will see that SACS is the one that restored accreditation to Clayton. As Bugs would say "What a Maroon". I live in Fayette, of course I have no kids in Clayton, but even if I did, my kid would do great, it's the kind of kid she is.

I yam what I yam....Popeye

Sonny announced it and was proud of it!
Do you have any idea that it will improve?
