[twentythree]

I don't mean to be rude but.....
I am sick and tired of hearing people that live in our county bash our school system. I received an excellent education and hope and pray that I live there forever and send my children there. As far as coaches go, JR just couldn't produce the wins. He had one good year (2004), but look at the caliber of athletes he had. All this stuff about him getting fired just because he wouldn't play Mark Blackburn's kid is BS. If he had the record, he would still be there. I love Roger Harless; he is a great man, but I don't know that he would be the best guy for the job. Anyway, Coach Newsome was an excellent coach, producing two regional championship teams and then a number of other teams that played in the regional finals, so even if she was the coach, I don't see how it could hurt. They aren't exactly amazing anyway.

And another thing I HATE: traitors that leave our school system because they think they are too good and above everyone else. :mad:

But....I do agree with you that an outsider would be the best bet. However, Greg Cornette would be a great man for the job, I would love it if he would apply.

Oh, and I don't know that he played at Myrtle Beach, but he did live there for a while, so maybe.....

When did you graduate?

I graduated in 2004 and very few teachers at Sheldon Clark were dedicated to educating their students then...

If SC is such a great educational facility, why are they ranked at Tier 4 and in jeopardy of losing their school completely if test scores and college admissions don't raise?

It's not about leaving because you're "too good" or "better than anyone" its leaving to BETTER YOURSELF and get prepared to succeed in the adult world... Sheldon Clark doesn't provide that. They produce kids that are almost incapable of functioning anywhere but that surrounding area.

And no, you weren't being rude, I am, that's what it takes to get people to understand how educationally handicapping Sheldon Clark can be for the average student.

There are successful students that come from there, but most often it is NOT because of the school.. they have parents that are overly driven for their child's success (not that it is a bad thing) and let it be known how important higher education is.
