IS THE SYSTEM AT FAULT


From the SNH, an opinion piece by a concerned parent whose imperfect child, her words, is failing yet she hears nothing from the teachers or administration. She is referring to the Kings Fork High School, our most expensive palace of learning. The parent states she supplied the school authorities with five telephone numbers and an address but the so-called Parent Connection system is not working. Seems a bit late in the school year but the parent asks why a teacher constantly put failing grades into a computer and never felt the need to contact the parent? She reportedly stated, “I refuse to let my child become an educational casualty. So I wrote the school administration and some of the School Board members. Have I received an answer about my concerns? No."

We can understand her frustration with school authorities and system of reporting grades if her case is stated correctly. Perhaps Dr. Liverman or the Board is considering a reply.

The staff at the SNH has welcomed back the Ballard Clubhouse. That is the they hope it will be back for a little longer than the previous which was swept away during last year's November Noreastern. The original was carried away in Hurricane Isabel. The staff of the SNH also heralded the environmental group called the Nansemond Preservation Alliance. This group has yet to help in the removal of debris of the former Ballard Clubhouse from the shores of the river even though many of the same people and friends are involved with both the causes. So SHN how about a staff opinion or better yet an investigation of who and how much has been spent cleaning up the remains of Ballard Clubhouse 2 before we you start banging the drum about another. Geez, what does it take for you people to wise up.
