Ralph Waggener: Grandson's books cost $200 at Silver Creek Guest commentary re: Renewal of Superintendent Alan Reed's contract By Ralph Roy Waggener Editor/Publisher, Just for a Smile News My oldest daughter,Sharon Waggener Green. is visiting and we have talked about school costs. Steven Green her son and my Grandson is attending Silver Creek High School in Sellersburg, Indiana and she told me that they spent around $200.00 for books for Steven. Andrew her oldest son. who is going to Purdue University now. had to pay for his books when attending Silver Creek High School, as well. So it seems that students most everywhere pay for books and a lot just don’t use text books anymore. If you do anything to make a school system better someone will be mad. If someone gives you a million dollars it would make you mad because you should have been given 2 million dollars. The more a leader does the more people fuss. The more a leader does the more that is expected of him, and the more people can find wrong about him; just sit on your rear hump and do nothing and the public will have nothing to complain about, because you have done nothing for to complain about! 2015-09-19 20:01:48 | Comments | Printable version

Joyce Coomer: Education without cosmetics A story of her father's excellent education, achieved in austere settings. By Joyce Coomer Personal commentary Ninety-seven years ago, at age fourteen, my father dropped out of high school because he could get a driver's license and go to work. I have his high school report cards and most of his grades were A's. I consider my father to be one of the most intelligent and highly-educated people I've ever known.

George Kolbenschlag: Where are elected officials on school leadership? Comments re article 77783 Says Alan Reed has brought real change to Adair County George Kolbenschlag writes: I know I've already had my say, but the on-going commentary, all of it worthwhile, causes me to ask where are our community's elected leadership, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Columbia/Adair County Economic Development Authority on this issue? They should speak up, certainly, in light of the Mr. Reed's contribution to economic development. It reminds me of the old quip credited to a general entering a skirmish with his troops: "There go my soldiers, I am their leader, I must follow them." - George KolbenschlagWell stated, George Kolbenschlag As always, your comments are eagerly awaited. Agree with you, community leaders should weigh in now. We're also waiting to hear from teachers, principals, students and former students. From all sides. And, while we're against demonizing the three board members who voted against renewing the progress, and if it is not already apparent, I believe the failure to renew the contract will be looked back on by historians as another time when Adair County almost kept climbing to the top of the pinnacle, but sputtered out before making it. - EW 2015-09-19 09:12:05 | Comments | Printable version

Jamie Isabelle: Shocked by vote on Superintendent contract Personal commentary Jamie Isabelle writes: I will admit, I am shocked about the vote for Superintendent. I personally have addressed a few issues with him over things this year already and past year. I was very pleased with his response in a very timely manner. I also was pleased with one of my issues being address and taken care of. My question would be since apparently he "pissed" some people off . . . wonder who they have in mind to replace him. I'm quite sure there is an underlying cause of this decision. - Jamie IsabelleComments re photo 62152 Adair Co School Bd Stunning rejection of spectacular progress 2015-09-19 05:53:49 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary

Bill Henson: Two sides to every story By Bill Henson Personal commentary I feel we need to hear both sides before we trash the 3 board members who voted no. After all there is always two sides to every story. We have had many good leaders in our school system over the years it's always been done in the name of democracy of which we can be proud although everyone is not Always happy with the outcome it's still the best form of government in the world and it does work. So as I've said many times vote every election and let it work. After all the sun will still come up tomorrow. - Bill Henson 2015-09-19 05:10:37 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education
