I would consider a $50,000 avg for Emporia teachers to be pretty decent.

I have a problem with this. The students are being cut by the funding and the educators are squabbling over pay raises.
I am going on year number 2 without a pay raise to help keep our company above water and dont make anything near what most of them do.

history,
"I don't think you should judge"
LIke you are doing to me????
I give to United Way every year with payroll deduction, I always have my children put money EVERY time I walk by a Salvation Army bell ringer, I place items in the food baskets at the stores, and I donated a sizeable amount of food to a community dinner being held on Thanksgiving day.
Do you want more examples?????

What about giving these items to all of the children of Emporia whose parents have lost their jobs over the past year.
I hate to sound cold, but we get so wrapped up in taking care of the world that we forget about people in our own backyard.

Maybe we should look into what the cities surrounding Emporia would do, or pay for a study before we do anything drastic.

jc2000,
Dont let people like Harry the Dunce, deter you from allowing your son to enjoy all the experiences he can of being a teenager.
I am sure he is not exceling to Harry's standards, but who could. I am sure the majority are like you and I; they just enjoy him being given the opportunity. It is just too bad " Billy" isnt getting to play because he doesnt have a disability per Harry's baffling posts.
Keep doing what you are doing. I am sure the trauma you dealt with when he was diagnosed is being slowly replaced by what he is currenly accomlishing.

Keep digging you a bigger hole. Your true colors are showing.
Now you are calling out the EHS coaches and saying Charlie is only playing for political reasons.
You can get a petition to bench Charlie and now a petition for those incompetant coaches at the high school.

Why are you worried about stats? Maybe you should start a petition to get him benched.
You probably have no idea what it is like or how good it feels to see young kids out there playing any sport and having a good time. Who cares if they avg .350 and steal 20 bases, or have 15 tackles a game.
I was as competive as anyone and was a college athlete but sometimes you have to step back and think about life and what is important, not about worrying about embarassing Emporia High.

Henry,
You are not just being insensitve, you are pathetic. I do not know how you can sit there and logically type what you just did. I am sure you would be ashamed to let your family see your work of art that you posted.
Here is a young man stircken with the loss of his vision who has done the best he can to overcome the loss of such a vital part of our day that we take for granted.
To lose your vision, especially at such a young age would be terrifying, yet he has chosen not to let it hold him back. You state that players must "adapt" to the situation. I think Charlie has done more than this in life, and not just on your almighty playing field.
All you are worried about is how it could possibly hold his teammates back, how this could distract them, how it could cost a game, etc... The family is more than understanding about the limits of his play and do not want him put out there because of his disability or for a publicity stunt.
Let me guess, you are one of the people on the sidelines of the 5-6 yr old rec soccer games screaming and yelling because of a bad call, or yell at the coach of a t-ball game for not running up the score?

I was thinking the same thing. I NEVER said "DO NOT GIVE TO THIS CHARITY!!"
