- I’m an idiot. I’m sorry!
- Are the kids at WCV getting dumber or just less motivated? Maybe it would help if the kids got to sit in class without worrying if they were going to fall through the floor or have a ceiling tile collapse on their heads. I guess I could come out of retirement and take the ACTs again.
- The walkout/rally was a success in drawing attention to the school situation. Will it succeed in getting a bond issue passed? We can only hope.
- Santa brought me some new clothes and some scratch off tickets. Did he bring anything from Stuart’s Christmas list?
Happy New Year Stuart.

Nate, did you get a ROSE tattoo?! What, were they all out of fairies and butterflys?
<p>Some butterflies can be mean looking.
Why didn’t you get a Ruby’s logo tattoo? That would have made more sense… unless you love a Rose I guess.
I’m going to be honest – WCV lacks in all areas. I know many say we have a top-notch education system, but do we really? I would say no. We have the potential to be great, but we aren’t.
When I took the ACT, I didn’t take it too seriously. I just knew I had to ace a couple of areas to get into the school of my choice and that was all.
my initital thoughts to your comments 2:29 am is perhaps people should realize that there is a directs relationship between facilities in which students learn and their success.
Ask yourselves this. Can you honestly say that with the conditions as they are in the high school and in Menlo, is it conducive to a positive and rich learning enviroment? If your answer is yes then you are a idiot as well. this is 1:35
It wouldn’t be a positive and rich working environment which is why I would quit if my employer was housed in such a building. We are forcing these kids to live in an environment we never would accept for ourselves. And if you say you would work your 40 hours+ in a building in the condition of our high school, you are a liar. It’s pathetic.
I believe people let things affect their performance. The voters have said we don’t need a new high school. That is their opinion – we should honor it. I am FOR a new high school in Stuart, however, we can keep trying.
10:22 and 1:45 – if I was earning $100,000+ per year, yeah, I would work in that building. You would, too!
It doesn’t matter how much factual information that is presented, there are some who just say no to be saying no. That, sad to say is also a fact.
Befoe we continue to blame the voters we need to place the blame where it belong. Why are we letting a group of few determint what it being put on the ballott? They are who should be ashamed. Quit trying to muddy the issue with a building that is too big or things we dont need. You are the ones to blame why our children are still in these run down buildings. And why on earth would we even consider putting on the next ballott to fix upthe current HS. If it is not good enough for the big stdents then it is not for he little ones either, Quit pouring money down that HOLE!!! Tear it down like we did in Redfield and build a district wide in Dexter then lets moove on.
The great thing about living in America is the ability of the will of the people to prevail. The majority of the people do not want a new high school, thus, we do not have a new high school.
Personally, I want a new school building, but the popular vote of the people don’t want one.
There will be a definite choice for the people to vote on. We should be able to get a new building at least. It has come down to need. There will probably have to be compromise, but when it is at this point, maybe the compromising comes a little easier. Hopefully so. I choose to think positively about the people of these communities.
Subject: FW: Blind cowboy
An old, blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake.
He finds his way to a bar stool and orders some coffee. After sitting
there for a while, he yells to the waiter, “Hey, you wanna hear a blonde
joke?”
The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky
voice, the woman next to him says, “Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I
think it is only fair,given that you are blind, that you should know
five things:
1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.
3. I’m a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in
karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional
weightlifter.
5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.
“Now, think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that
joke?”
The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head, and mutters,
“No…not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times.”
