They passed the lottery and said that all the money would go to education. Well it did not work out that way and they have been taking lottery money and using it for other projects. That means they have been taking money away from the kids of NC. I will end by saying that the people of NC wanted change and elected our new Legislature. Last time I checked that means these elected officals get to pass laws and make decisions for NC. The Dems had power for over a hundred years and the people of NC said it was a time for change. If you are on the other side you should respect the fact that you lost and understand that these elected officals should be given a chance. I will end with this and how sad that the protestors would act this way and cost our goverenment thousands of dollors. These people should go and volunteer somewhere and help the people of NC .<br />RALEIGH, N.C. — Gov. Pat McCrory says he has often entered the crowds at the North Carolina Capitol protesting decisions he and Republican legislative leaders advocate, and gotten cussed out in the process.<br /><br />McCrory said during a visit to Wilson on Wednesday that he welcomes protesters, but his interactions haven't been pleasant.<br /><br />"I go out in the crowd all of the time. Frankly, yesterday I went out and talked to several of them and they were not very respectful. They did not represent the majority of people who call themselves moral by cussing me out, but, you know, that's the way things go sometimes," McCrory said<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729008319243255768.post-68771281638204164992013-07-08T20:58:40.915-04:002013-07-08T20:58:40.915-04:00The comment you got is so far to the right they ar...The comment you got is so far to the right they are over the edge. We must stop taking money out of our education system we must however make sure that we only have great teachers in the classroom and we must hold PARENTS accountableAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729008319243255768.post-64764335163563070582013-07-03T07:06:26.206-04:002013-07-03T07:06:26.206-04:00I would like to comment that in catastrophic situa...I would like to comment that in catastrophic situations an armed guard could also save lives and maybe even take care of the intruder before he gets to the classroom.I would like you to go and ask all the children's parents that have lost lives in schools and ask them if they would rather have an armed guard or a teacher assistant protect their children from a peron that has an machine gun.I am also going to comment on the teacher assistant and if that is needed for our school system. We had our kids enrolled in the Wake county school system for two years and then decided that it was not working out for our kids and moved them to another option. They are know enrolled in a school that does not have assistants and are thriving and the class size is 25.This classroom is also more diversified than the classroom they had at public school.This is an example of what they are proposing works. I also want to know what your stance is for school choice for those that would like a chance to pick a different school?I think it is very arrogant that one would think they know what is right for the children of NC. We as citizens of this state need to educate parents more and what is required of them to help our children.We should not think that the state is the answer. This is our requirement as parents to make sure our children our learning and we are working with them daily on their education.This is why the school our kids go to is thriving. We have wonderful teachers in this state and we have all the tools our kids need to learn and to be productive citizens. We need to educate the parents and what is required of them.This all starts in the home and not at the school. When we were in the system we saw first hand the issues the system has and you are correct that it's not a political issue. I will also say that we live in a Democratic society and we elected the people that are know in power and many of us believe what they are doing is right. I get so tired of people being elected to office and then the party that loses thinks they should not move forward with their agenda. This is why our school board has been in the national news because of the way the Democratic side acted when they lost control and then when they regained control they made politcal decisions. I am going to end by saying that it is arrogant to think that we know how this should be decided for the children of NC. We should give the people that were elected a chance and not assume they are wrong.Then the side that loses think that throwing money at the issue makes it better and that is not the solution.We need to make better decisions and remember that Democrates have been in control in this state for over a hundred years and we have issues that need to be addressed. That is why we are having this debate and the system has not been as successful as we would like. It is time to try a different approach and until we try another way we will never know if it works or not. If they are wrong I will come back to this page and admit I was wrong.
