Graduation / Dropout Rates

| 7 Comments

If a student in, say, Portland High School moves to Bowling Green and immediately enrolls in Kentucky school there, this student is counted as a dropout from Portland High School. Apparently, there is no system in place to track students once they leave a Tennessee school. The State of Tennessee and Federal government rate school systems on their dropout rates, but nobody knows what the true dropout rate is?? Can this be true?

In a comment for another posting, a commentator left a link for the "Official Home of the Portland Panthers" website, which can be found at http://portlandpantherfootball.com. The website was designed by eVarsity Sports. Looks like a nice site with the sound of the train on the home page. Check it out.
Update: Corey Brewer also has a new website: http://cbrewer22.com

I felt this needed it's own post, Thank You - Jessica for the information

I am hoping that it is okay that I post this here, I know its not in Portland, but I hope that it is a cause that our town is interested in, as I know it is a very important issue to me..

Do you have a family member, friend, neighbor or co-worker who would benefit from learning about autism resources available in Tennessee?

Then.....

Come to the Autism Resource Fair
held in conjunction with the
5K Run/Walk Beyond the Limits for Autism
at Memorial Park in Hendersonville on April 19th!

MY Space - Good, Bad or Ugly?

| 33 Comments

After seeing the report on TV last evening about the 12 Y.O. Sumner County girl that met her rapist on MY Space, I thought this would be a good time to bring up this topic on the blog.

What are your experiences with MY Space?
Should there be better security measures that not allow under age members?
What do you do in monitoring under age computer users in your household?

The stories that come out about My Space are horrific, yet some good has come as well, what, and who should be responsible for policing this site if any? Lets hear your thoughts, experiences and suggestions.
