So Spider.....Just Curious....

Hey Spider, so why did you bring up the Public Safety fund rather than the person that was originally going to bring it up?

Was asked to do so by a friend.

wow acclaro---hate to see you leaving town again just as we begin the turnaround! Just remember to pay the property taxes on your "for sale" home! Don't be so f'n negative. At least you can take better advantage of the local library!

Hey acclaro, When you want to go? Hell I will even rent a U-Haul and may drive for you!!! Let us know the date and we will have a big party!!!!

Wow acclaro--if I didn't associate you as being a level-headed thinker, I might judge you to be somewhat bitter about yesterday's very predictable results.

acclaro, now you have pissed me off. My daughter has a 4.275 gpa and is a junior. Our mailbox is filled everyday with college offers from D1 and D2 schools because of her acedemic success received at MHS. No where does it say that because the school says you have a 4.275 we understand that to be a 3.0. You are an ass. And yes I will take another Myrtle Beach trip with those students. This group represents Middletown the way it should be represented. We have travelled all over the country with this group and I am honored to be with them.

Smartman- you are a pompous know it all who made no argument to support the levy other than your Myrtle Beach trip. I had two kids that went through 1) William and Mary 2) Davidson. You couldn't carry my skates to the ice rink, let alone move my furniture. Now ask the admissions cousnelors about Fenwick, Summit Country Day, MVS, and they all know the caliber of those schools. They also know MCSD well. The fact a man can become so angry shows the ease of cruise control at MHS. You have no composure and attack, because you think you are entitled, and special. You did the same nonsense on the Middletown Board. You exemplify the Middltown mindset, and the very reason parents would rather pay to keep their kids out of MHS. I did, and my ya's were much better because of it. You are a really intellectual type Smartman, and the type of individual Middletown should be proud.       

as for the Myrtle Beachers, as I said before my niece was in the group and is not an "A" student.  She has not had to develop good study habits and i fear will be toast if and when she goes to college.  Great kids don't always make good students.

Bill, there are good students in every district. I can tell you most "good students" from MHS that tackle Fenwick "run back as fast as they can" from Fenwick to safe haven of MHS, lasting less than a year. I had a nephew and niece who graduated with > 4.0 GPA's at MHS, 18 on ACT's and ended up as teachers. They get buried in homeowrk at Fenwick, I know that for a fact. My son cruised at W & M, as he had th rigor of doing 5-6 hrs of homework each night. They won't get that at MHS. But, as sj said, it is what it is, and as expected. Middletown now has the majority of its residents as public servants. They know how to bundle the voters, and the other side, just can't get 10 to attend a mgt. No acrimony from me, I see a Smartman every day in Middletown, its the backbone of the fabric. Can't be changed, and too tired of trying. But, you won't attract abuyer in a city awaiting to max 4% tax increases as the decline continues, and the expectations so low. I mean, Rev. Tyus high-fiving Dr. Rasmussen, when he put his own property in foreclosure. But, it doesn't matter, it will always be what it is. No change, just life long residents living in the past. Payroll made up of public sector entities, each supporting the other. Stuck in quicksand, but for the lifers, the greatest city in America.    

come on people!!!

Sorry, this is  not ending just yet.  Acclaro, you are an a--!  Agree with Smartman all the way.  And if you're so smart (like u keep telling us you are) why in the heck ,when you predicted M-town's demise 20 yrs ago didn't you get the heck out of here?  Sure has taken you an awfully long time!

Pat, that's a good question.  I think long ago they realized she was made of "C" student timber, like her father, and gave up pushing too much.  Sadly, MHS hands out Cs and Bs like candy so she has never had to do much to get by.

Smartman, reverse role playing- I'm you and Pat. "All you duba** that voted for the levy just don't have a clue how to formulate a rationale opinion. You vote for the levy because you think you got the brightest kid in the room, when, if you can make it to school daily, will graduate with a 3.4 GPA at MHS. What a** you are. In a private school, your kids would be churned out like butter, burning the candle until 1 am, struggling to make a 2.8, and being outgunned by kids that their parents were owners of major companies, docs, attorneys, Partners at Bain, Presidents at P & G. If you don't like that objective individuals have had it with the incompetence of Middletown, then leave, Take that 4.28 GPA and leave the city. Quit having others give you the AP class, the violin instruction, pay for it yourself in a private school. 20% of the kids drop out, and this levy does nothing for them or making a CI and Excellent. You idiots bash anyone that doesn't agree with you. Its not debate, its argument. You reflect Middletown, not the thinkers in West Chester and Springboro, that organize and demand better results with less. By the way, you idiots, Franklin graduated a 4.95 GPA student about 5 years ago, both parents non college educated, and pulled a 20 on the ACT. Fenwicj averages a 25, MIVS a 28. And Smartman, its DOUBT not DOUGHT. I make alot of fast typing errors, but having a 4.28 stduent in the family, you should have command of the language."
