Charlotte and Hendry are both higher than us. It is becoming a bit of an embarrassment since we're the biggest county of the four.

I'm in blue today. We need some way to show our feelings about everything that's going on.

It's one thing to just go there, but it's another thing to talk to other people about what they're trying in their schools. You don't get that through online research or watching a DVD.

There's not enough teachers for every classroom that we have.

People say throwing money at the system isn't going to solve it, but in education, they're wrong. We need more money.

More money will definitely help with the class size amendment to build schools, hire teachers and pay them a living wage to actually buy a home and live in our community.
