Give us a break.
Falling through the educational cracks sucks. I am a married woman with two kids barely making it financially and I don't qualify for a Pell grant. I have applied for several scholarships but have been told that my financial need is not great enough. The only option I have left is Federal Student Loans. The sad truth about the whole situation is that if I was not caucasion I would be able to get a... |

Schools should "leave kids behind"
"No child left behind" translates to "force them instead." We all know that everybody has different abilities. Spend a minute thinking about what I'm about to say: I cannot hit a baseball or throw a football without looking like an idiot, why not force me to be on the team? Because I'm just not good at it, and it would make the school look bad to have me on the field. Why doesn't the school ... |

Bring spankings back to public schools
I'm sorry, but the time has come for our children to once again be spanked at school. As an ex teacher I can tell you that our educators lack the resources to effectively discipline the student population. At the heart of it all, we can only discipline with "time-out" style consequences, or we have to call up the parents which, if the parent supports misbehavior, the problem never gets resolved.... |

Angelina Co. being moist rather than wet
Does it make any sense that Angelina county not vote in liquor? Beer and wine both intoxicate you just as much as liquor does.. (if you drink enough of it I suppose) And you don't have to be a different age to buy it... I just don't get it. I wouldn't mind hearing the political reasons on this one. I just don't enjoy the fact that I still have to drive all the way across some river (each way you g... |

Why isn't there more to do in Lufkin?
My husband has finally gotten the whole weekend off, WOOOO HOOOO! BUUUUUT to do anything that is worth spending money on, we must travel outside of Lufkin. Why is this? As far as restaurants, there are plenty, yes. We have a golf course, but we don't play golf. The bowling alley is a joke here and the mall has sizzled down to nothing but clothes. What else am I forgetting? OH LASER TAG- yea, ummm ... |

Why does KTRE play the same news program over & over after 1
Why does KTRE play the same news program over & over after 1am? Why cant we aleast have reruns of sitcoms. Or reruns of the shows that was on earlier in the evening. And when the newsprogam is not on it a paid advertment. I would love to watch any Star Trek series, any Star Gate series or old movies with John Wayne or Elvis or anything. |

Our Educational System at work
Ok there are few things here, so this could be long. First things first, the uniform dress code. I fail to see how uniform dress codes do anything the school boards say they do. Supposedly they help to eliminate gangs in school, boost self esteem, and reduces class disruptions. First of and gang member is going to "represent" no matter what you do. Unless you implement uniforms(not uniform dre... |
