Just rumors I have heard the same thing about sheldon clark for years too and I do not think it is possible to take away aports teams. That wasn't really the point of my post I am just wanting to know the Lawrence County fans point of view on the whole subject. I am the kind of person that wants every child to suceed in every way possible. I just want to know if it is really that bad in Lawrence county for people from Bulldog country to say that, as the only people that have told me this rumor are current students in the system that tell me most of their teachers are there for little more than a Paycheck. I AM IN NO WAY TRYING TO TALK DOWN TO LC FANS OR OFFEND ANYONE. I just want to know if all of this is true, If it is really that bad.

I have a child in the LC school system. I also know several teachers. I can tell you that the kids that say the teachers are only there for a paycheck are not accurate. I wonder if these same kids tell their parents that they roam the hallways, skip classes, and do not complete homework? Yeah it is the teachers fault today. Blame someone else, the American way.

The state will not take away extra-curricular activities. From my understanding, the only thing they could potentially do is make some restrictions (ex. limit the distance on weeknights for teams to travel for games). The state does not have the power to strip a school of athletics simply because of test scores. This was a rumor started by someone that didn't know the situation entirely.

From what I've been hearing, the LC school system and especially the high school, is about to lose a few really good teachers if things do not straighten up. A couple more coaches too. This could be a rumor, but the people I am hearing it from have always had valuable inside information. I've heard a couple names, head coach and assistants. Sad times, indeed.
