@Simplyamazed: Dear Ebb Tide 2,

I shall write "scary" 500 times and then strike my knuckles with a wooden ruler for the error of "scarey" vs. "scary".

Will that appease you as I did make a "human" error?

Really, your comment is ridiculous!

Graduation rate for minorities lags in Georgia

Student motivation, from the moment they walk in the door is the key. It is hard to compete with iPods, iPhones, etc., to engage in meaningful lessons in order to overcome years of worksheets and "behavior placeholders". My heart hurts for secondary professionals who have to battle twitter and everything else. Students will take suspension rather than lose their phone privileges for a while...High school teachers are tired of fighting the phone battle. I have no answers. If I did I would be along side Harry Wong in the bookstore. I have so much respect for the tireless efforts of CCSD teachers.

DeKalb Co. principal says state unable to pay for AP test fees

Suck it up and pay for the tests. You can get college credit if performance is exemplary at a fraction of the costs. Darn, no free rides when I took them. The news report showed a very nice home where the concerned citizen resides. Mercy I am getting cranky regarding entitlements and expectations.

Should be made to clean all bars downtown with a toothbrush for a month. At least clean the floors and the store for a month, plus compensation for ruined merchandise.
Simply ridiculous

    Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. Highlight: Would set hours of operation of each Athens-Clarke County "building campus" -- e.g. City Hall, the courthouse and Dougherty Street government building -- at 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Park hours would either be set by the Athens-Clarke County manager or the Mayor and Commission. The ordinance has been derided by members of Occupy Athens and others as seeking to enforce a curfew on public property, thus damaging their First Amendment right to peacably assemble for long-term protests. read more
