Permission to whack away?
I am with you 100 percent about the young men walking around with their pants hanging down … It’s a disgrace to the human race … There should be a law that when we ladies see a butt hanging out we can give it a good whack.
Who’s driving?
How many teachers in the school district with a master’s degree were asked to drive a school bus when they laid off the bus drivers?
How old are you?
In response to the comment — “If you love your country, you would not have voted for Obama,” tell me do you really think this country is the same as it was 25 years ago. If you want your children to grow up in the same country you grew up in, tell me how old are you? You can’t be anymore than 20 years old. And if your are 20 years old and you think the last 20 years have been OK, then you have a problem.
Law needed
I agree with the person who wants young men to pull up their pants … There should be a law and they should be made to pull up their pants.
Uniforms are a bust
Twelve years ago when Dr. Willie Gilchrist introduced uniforms in the Halifax County School system. He promised us the uniforms would level the playing field, increase the children’s academic scores and make it cheaper to buy school clothes. I have yet to see any of that happen.

Pork unhealthy in reform
The person is absolutely right, we do need health care reform, but we don’t need all the other things they will stuff down our throats with the reform … If there is one lesson we have learned in this country, is a bill never goes through Congress the way it was written. It is always laden with pork and the health care bills will be no different.

It is indeed time to "...sweep away the vestiges of cronyism and ego-driven policy making too often found in the district's administration and decision-making process."
During her tenure, Dr. Middleton endured much guff from both the school board and the County Commissioners. The Herald might consider suggesting to the latter that they take a less adversarial approach to dealing with educational matters: it's their county, too. "
