“the local 1 billion.” I wish every time a writer used billion it was expressed in numbers. 1,000,000,000 kind of gets your attention and is not easily confused with 1 million, ey?

Me too. It’s not even my school system and it’s making me so mad that kids have to suffer because the adults cannot behave. Or add, or subtract, or keep promises, or model frugal behavior, or keep their fingers (and relatives) out of the cookie jar. You know, if kids have to pass the CRCT, wouldn’t it make sense to have some kind of test of proficiency for school board members and administrators? I’m pretty sure we all know some that wouldn’t pass.

I know we’ve already been through the SPLOST debate, and while this is not a new development, it’s something that wasn’t widely publicized, and many may not be aware of.

“Avondale has a higher % of same-sex female couples than Decatur? Huh. OK. I wouldn’t have predicted that.”

My guess is that it’s because fewer female couples have children and are therefore unwilling to pay the taxes that go along with being in the Decatur school system. Then again, I’m not sure how much difference there is between the two anymore. Tucker also seems to have a good-sized population of lesbian couples.
