Follow up post re: Lee

I just kind of wanted to follow up on a few things. Although my last post may have seemed a tad melodramatic or negative, I did not intend for it to be. Truth is sometimes hard to hear. With that said, I thought I would highlight some positive things about Lee:

1. It is the safest place to be. No need to worry about your kid here. Everybody looks out for everybody else. No full-time police officer here and none needed.
2. The teachers, particularly on the high school end, work hard and NEVER get any credit for it. You have good days and bad days but for the most part we want your child to learn but we can't make them.
3. It's hard teaching a class of 30 but we do it. And unlike public school (which I'm not knocking) we can be creative in our teaching. We don't teach to the test.
4. Discipline is an option here. Yes we have some parents that think they should be called or have a problem with corporal punishment, but I'm all for it and very supportive. I'm not with my kid all day and last time I checked kids usually don't tell the "whole" story. I wish we could go back to when we were in school...you get in trouble at school you get in trouble at home. If you didn't get "along" with a teacher and they "picked" on you...get over it. They were the teacher and they were right. Tough it out. Sit there, be quiet, and do your work. Period.

These are just a few of the things I like about Lee. There will be problems anywhere you go. No place has been perfect since the Garden of Eden and that's what I know for sure. Later....
