Chances are...the parents that were there, weren't the one's that really should have been. They are probably the parents already doing a great job in involving themselves in their children's education.

I can't believe they chose these people, beer bottles and all on the porch, to show who has taken the election to heart....please! I know there should be atleast a few other supporters in Natchez (maybe even some at work) they could have chosen for this article's pic.

Okay, well here is what they are doing here in the Harrison County School District (Biloxi, Gulfport, etc.) And I know it would be a little different there for y'all because it is actually involving 2 different States, not just school districts. If a parent wants their child to attend another school out of their district they are required to pay a tuition. I believe it is $800 or $900 a year. It is much cheaper than private school. People aren't sending their children to other schools because the schools are bad here, mainly for economical reasons such as areas the parents work, etc. I attended both private and public school in Natchez, and honestly the private schools aren't worth the money. If I had to move back to that area I would move to Vidalia so my 2nd grader wouldn't have to attend Natchez schools either. Maybe the best thing for many in Natchez to do is leave completely. Move to a better area, with better jobs, and actually be able to do things with your children on the weekends without driving an hour to do so. If you miss it sometimes or still have family there, do as I do and go back for a visit once or maybe twice a year. Your children deserve it!

We got our scores in Gulfport and they were actually pretty good! I know our kids here are really being challenged alot more now than we were when I was in school. They stay busy and have lots of homework!

hardtimes...just wanted to let you know that after Katrina, many people I know were paid for there freezer contents by insurance companies here on the coast. Some just had their things organized a bit better than others, I guess. Or maybe some just don't bother trying to claim it.

There needs to be a Chuck e Cheese in Natchez pretty bad. Something for the kids to do. That would be something really great to put next to the mall. Whoever does it will make a killing! Ours in Gulfport stays packed every day of the week...besides, where can the kids in Natchez have birthday parties anymore? McDonald's, bowling and Pizza Hut have got to be gettin' old by now! Oh, you need an Academy Sports there too and Old Navy and Gap and Chili's and I could go on and on...

There is a great website that our schools in Harrison County (Gulfport) use for both school/home reading practice. The website is tickettoread.com. the kids love it! You read stories/passages and answer questions earning points to decorate your own online clubhouse. My son is 7 and reads over 100 wpm thanks to the extra time he spends at home on this great website rather than playing video games. If your schools do not use it already, it is worth looking into! I
