Please don't think this particular group of students are programmed. They really do know what's going on. Just like we have to respect another adult's choice for president, we have to respect the children's choice. Maybe these students are able to relate to the issues Obama speaks about. Many of them have had to watch the debate, write summaries, and give their opinion about what they heard/saw. Another thing, children tend to grasp what they hear around the dinner table, if you know what I mean. If their parents were rich, they probably would not have been in this article, and they probably would have chosen McCain. Think about it. How many rich people are in this town? How many people are in McCain favor? Obama favor? We'll find out in November. I am proud of the children for being able to make a decision based on research and study rather than other bias things.

Well, I have not seen any cougars where I live, but I have heard the panthers in the woods. They have a peculiar sound, like a baby crying to the top of his lungs. It's rather scary when the time changes back. It's dark in the mornings, and I think that's when they start roaming for food.

You are so right about Attempted Murder or even Pre- Meditated. I was wondering if anyone else felt this way. Can't wait to see what the punishment is.

To Krogers: I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's situation. That is one of those times when you don't let bad things slide. I will tell any student I come in contact with to report all violations to me,and I will follow up on everything I report to my supervisors. That's a social problem. Anytime a student thinks it is ok to violate someone else's space, that child has not been taught a few things. In a classroom, the teacher steps out of his/her given title,"TEACHER", and becomes the counselor, doctor, preacher, mother, father, and other needed characters in a child's life. Parents depend on teachers to do things they can't do believe it or not. This is why the entire community needs to recognize their positons in this education cycle.

Count me in Krogers, because I want to make sure that one day there is Social Security for people my age when we get old. I will have a retirement plan to depend on, but some may not. The parents are in my age group, and they just don't seem to understand the future image of their children. I work with children everyday, and I give them 200%. I say 200% because if I'm not satisfied with the first 100% of my effort, I dig deep down inside and give them somemore.

One thing that people are not noticing is that the largest group of the children in our public schools are of one race. The parents of these children should be working along with the rest of the community to make sure their children are getting the best education possible. One problem I have noticed at the schools is that children absolutely do not care about education. A very small percent of the children in grades 5-9 care about learning. Most children are excited about school from Pre-K to 4th grade and then from 11th to 12th. The 10th graders are trying to find themselves somemore, and the 5th-9th graders don't know who they are. Negative peer influence is easily passed among students during these years. When a child turns 11 or 12 years old, he or she has made the decision on whether or not he or she is going to graduate from school.The state requires them to be in school until a certain age is reached, and they know that. Some of them cause problems in classrooms because they don't want to be there. The people who are arguing against the superintendent and what he has or has not done , do not have children in this district or their children have already graduated or about to graduate. Another thing, their children are some of the most successful students in the district. Why? Because they were fortunate enough to have parents who could spend more time with them and took a strong interest in their education. All parents do not have a blueprint for what they want their children to do so far as education is concerned. The superintendent can not save these children from social issues that have led them to not graduate or take an attentive approach to education. I'm not taking up for Dr. Morris, and I'm not putting the parents down because I have children in this district. My children happen to be those who are fortunate to have a parent who takes interest in their education. My children have benefit from the Natchez Adams School District. I am a product of the district, and I consider myself successful.

This is one of those times I wish I was rich or just really good friends with Oprah. I went to this school. This is where I received my foundation. When I made the transfer to public school, I was ready for a challenge. Teachers like Mrs. Ealey and Mrs. Young(Scott then) are rare. The sisters were firm but very good teachers. I remember those wonderful days of my early education. If the community gets together to save this school, they can count me in. We need to develop our own "Sister Act" here in Natchez.

Someone told me that his girlfriend picked him up off the side of the road. It's probably true. I got it from a reliable source.

I know one thing, all those votes didn't come from people who have children in private schools. If public schools are bad, it's the voters of this poll and their children who make it bad. Get involved in your child's education. By the way this is your community too. The children are our future. DO SOMETHING!

This is great! I was not going to take my children trick or treating this year because of safety issues. Now we have somewhere to go that I can trust. I guess I'll let the kids know the cosutmes ore back on.
