Home school or sacrifice some comforts for a loooooooooong time and pay for private school.

+1 I only have night sights on my g26. My other glocks have stock sights with CTC lasergrips for night work.

I agree.

Crimsonaudio you obviously have a brilliant mind based upon the fact that we normally share similar views. No amount of debate will change how either of us feel about this matter so I will respectfully disagree with you and apologize for being a bit harsh earlier. I hope that whatever the outcome is that it will be good for all of the children while requiring more parental involvement from the parents of the city kids. Off subject a bit, but I like what Kenneth Whalum said a while back about tying city school kids attendance and performance to the amount of government assistance that a family receives. I know that it won't/can't be done, but I think that it would provide some incentive.

I concede that I am outnumbered here. What I would like to know is what are the other options to get those kids educated? MCS has shown that it can't get the job done. I really don't think that they care to educate the children. The administrators remind me of people that I work with only concerned about titles and job descriptions. I would be content with any positive outcome regardless which side wins. POSITIVE OUTCOME! To me that means a outcome were all the area kids have the opportunity to be educated in a safe environment. I would think that more parents would see it this way. Then we would not feel compelled to home school or pay outrageous tuition for private schools in my case.

Most of the objections don't appear to be valid. They just happen to be fearful views that you agree with. I hope that you and the people that think like you get everything that you want. Just remember that karma is a bitch. Have a good evening sir.

I am not as worked up about this situation as you guys. As I stated before I don't have a dog in this fight. My opinion won't change a thing with anyone here, but I will keep watching this thread for its entertainment value. I hope that those trully concerned have lots of blood pressure pills and antidepressants.

Welcome to TGO

You are correct sir.

I was speaking about twenty years ago when the local sheriff issued the permits. You could only qualify with a double action handgun.

So true, and very funny.

And all Memphis voters are bad parents who don't care about their kids education?

That was very funny.

I am not going to defend the surrender of the charter because I really don't have a dog in the fight. I do believe the SCS to be a better system so why not give all of the children in the area the benefit of being educated by the better educators. MCS is a failure. Would you continue to use the same broker if all he did was lose your money?

I was using swipe while in my car, but that is no excuse for not checking my spelling before posting.

So you just give up on the city kids simply because they had the misfortune of being born to ignorant/clueless parents? The same people that are against this are the same people that complain about the crime rate and the poor educational system.

So is SCS not up to the job? If and when Memphis becomes Detroit the entire area will suffer. If those kids in the city system are not properly educated soon the city will die and crime will sky rocket. People talk about leaving and they may have to when all the companies leave because of the lack of a educated workforce. I know that the city schools are full of heathens. Hell I was one of them, but us old guys have to get over the race mixing fears and stereotypes. . I am a firm believer that nothing will change if there is no parental involvement, but I don't agree with the status quo. The preachers and black politicians only care about power and money while the suburbanites are simply paranoid.

I thought that my mailbox was their designated disposal area.

Welcome

I will have to work on sunday, but come monday the kids and I will be having a snowball fight.

Iwb works fine for me.

Don't forget that your weapon also had to be double action to qualify. SCSO required that way back when.

That's the famous guns and ammo customer service that I am accustomed to. They could care less because there is no competition in the city when it comes to having the guns and gear in stock.

I pay for private schools, but I hope that it passes. If SCS has the best plan why not let all of the kids benefit from having the best educators available? They should get rid of everyone in MCS that have held a leadership position in the last twenty years.

:D:Dheh heh heh....my cheeks are hurting
