WHAT THE....!

This made me so mad. Here is part of an article that I found on the Free Lance Star website. It talks about CGS, but the guy obviously didn't even do much research.


Governor’s School Burden:
How far is too far?

Jeremiah Cole - Associated Press
September 18th, 2005

There has been much debate over the special treatment that is given to local students that attend the Commonwealth Governor’s School, or CGS.
These students are taken out of the normal public school environment, and put into an exclusive institution. Some students attend “CGS” in the morning, and some in the afternoon, but many critics say they should not attend at all.
The Governor’s School students, who come from Spotsylvania, Stafford, and King George, receive benefits that many other children are unable to attain. These benefits include more experienced and well-knowing teachers, a five-school broadcasting system, laptops for every student, and the removed stress of having to take exams.
But what do all these extra benefits cost the school system? A lot, say many concerned parents.
“My child doesn’t go to Governor’s school, or whatever they call it,” said Marian Hemberg, the parent of two high school students, “but I’m still paying my tax money to support these know-it-all kids who do?”
That really doesn’t seem fair, the opponents say. They don’t believe that simply due to the fact that a child is deemed to be “gifted” (or “smarter than the rest,” as the Governor’s School students claim) they should receive more funding for their education.
This is why there is a proposed bill that will make it’s way through the Virginia General Assembly. This bill, called the Higher Education Act, will prohibit the use of public funding for any education that is not strictly standard. Under this new bill, the Governor’s School would be dissolved, SCOPE (Spotsylvania COunty Program for Enrichment), and many other programs.


It then goes on to talk more about the bill and what other programs will be affected.

Young Life

Well, on a lighter note, The first Riverbend YOUNG LIFE CLUB is TOMORROW!!!!! im so excited. If any of you want to come i will give you directions tomorrow, its a lot of fun and its kinda like a place where kids go to have fun and see funny skits, but also learn about god. So its like a youth group except better....yea.

Holy Jesus.

Alright. So a kid fucking DIED in gym at Ni River yesterday. A seventh grader named Michael Kostelnik died of CARDIAC ARREST. He had a heart condition and wore an electronic thing to monitor his heart rate. He had been cleared by his doctors to participate in Phys Ed.

He was doing pull-ups arounf 10 AM and went into cardiac arrest. A slight heartbeat was detected after the nurse administered CPR and the assistant principal used a defibrillator to resuscitate him. A rescue squad took this TWELVE YEAR OLD to Mary Washington Hospital.

He was pronounced DEAD at 11:30 am.

A fucking SEVENTH GRADER.

A bunch of the ladies in the guidance department at Ni River (where my mom works) were supposed to come over because my mom just had foot surgery. Obviously they didn't come because of what had happened that day. My sister and I came home from Certamen practice and she asked us to come see her. She gave us like the hugest hug ever and told us about it.

Imagine being Michael Kostelnik's mother. Saying goodbye to her TWELVE YEAR OLD KID before he went to school. Going to the hospital at 11:30 to find him DEAD.

Now imagine being Michael himself. Going off to a school day like any other. As you're doing your pull up's in gym class, your heart STOPS. They get it started again but speed you off to a hospital. There your heart stops AGAIN. You're done.

This kid had so much left to do. He could've gone to high school, college, gotten a job. Fallen in love, gotten married, had kids. There's so much to life that hes missed. Things he'll never be able to do.

This really freaked me out. Partially because its so tragic that a fucking SEVENTH GRADER DIED, but partially because I had just had a huge fight with my boyfriend who is going camping this weekend (or for the week, he was being an ass). He could not come back and I would'nt have any closure. It scared the shit out of me that this kind of thing could happen to ANYONE.

I just want you guys to keep the Kostelnik's in your thoughts and prayers and just DON'T TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED.

Do Your Part to Save the Scene and Start Posting!!

Hello all!!! It has been quite a while since I actually made a post. Which I believe is very sad. Do we really have this little to talk about? I mean Toni has started flicking people in the face who don't know who Mark Twain is for our entertainment. (well not really for our entertainment more like her own bemusement).........Well since no one has bothered asking who else is really enjoying English so far? I really like Dr. Walker (not that I didn't like Mr. Smith), but he reminds me of all the really great English teachers I had way back when who actually made me want to write and get critiqued and stuff. And guess what everyone!! Falls almost here!! Which means it's almost concert season which means the fusion tour and weezer/foo fighters tour is right around the corner yippee!!! Okie dokie I shall talk to everyone tomorrow, mucho luv!

Mark Twain

OMFG. There are two girls in my section in Marching Band who don't know who Mark Twain is.

I flicked them in the face.

And almost told them that they are worthless.

ITS MARK FREAKING TWAIN!

Testing, 1, 2, 3.

Big Ten Best?

Haha. No, I'm just kidding. How can one say they are the best. Two of the best three in the league went down, and the third may lose to texas tonight. Michigan went down to Notre Dame, and Iowa got beat by Iowa State [haha kevin]

Sorry bout the football thing again...but i can't help myself...and i might end up paying for it, but hey, i'm almost as rich as i am.

HAHA KEVIN! IOWA LOST BY 20 POINTS! What about that point spread now, huh? Haha. Undefeated hopes down the drain. Haha.

Good movie

I know, I know, I'm a little bit behind the times, but I only just saw Pulp Fiction (1994), and I thought it was a really good movie. Has anyone else seen it?

Anyone who hasn't seen it (and who's parents would allow them to see it, which I estimate to be fairly few), should see it. It is a little bit inappropriate, but only because of numerous drug references, sexual references, language, and violence.

RHS vs. Huguenot.

Yep. We won this time. 31-28.

Wasn't the most fun game ever, but we won.

And the halftime show was pretty good. We have 2 songs left to get on the field (because Ms. Cole wrote boatloads of srill for our opener).

It should be a great show.

Go there...

This is similar to Mr. Stack's "you know you're a liberal/conservative..."

http://www.blogthings.com/wherefrom.html

It has Virginia on there, and for thsoe of you from any other states it has those too.

On the left hand side it also has other little quiz-things.

Blah!

Just to put an end to all of this really pointless football debating...

Everyone should watch some Flash Gordon sometime soon. Its good TV. Really.

I saw some yesterday, and its very entertaining. Not necessarily because of content or anything, but because its just so corny and AWESOME.

I highly recommend it.

To rub it in Colin's face....

Iowa also won, 56-0. That's right, fifty-six to nothing.

The game was not as close as the score indicates. It was actually much less close, Iowa just didn't want to run it up.

Rehnquist dead

Ok, so apparently the nation is in mourning over Rehnquist's death, how do the newspapers know that we're not celebrating, its crazy. Well anyway, Colin, i think we should vote and ban you from posting anything about the Tennessee volunteers. I hate ur little novels, they make me so mad. i never read them they just take up space, Who votes that colin shoulnt post about tenessee anymore? I will start, I am in Favor that colin keep his mouth shut about a sucky college, that People have to VOLUNTEER for to play, notice most people want to go to a college, some people are just like, *sigh* i will spare sum lucky kid so he can go to a respectable college, i will volunteer to waste my life here

Go Vols

Hey guys, guess who won today?!? [yes, i realize this could be responded in several ways...] the TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS. Thats right, Tennessee killed the UAB Blazers by a score of 17-10. The game was not as close as the score indicates. This means that Tennessee is now 1-0, aka UNDEFEATED. Only about half the teams in the nation can say that they are UNDEFEATED, and, to rub it in any sooner fans, the Oklahoma Sooners cannot. Anyway, for those of you who did not get to see the game, as most of you probably did not, seeing as it was regional coverage only, and you guys still up in fredericksburg are not in the region of Knoxville [Where Rocky Top is located, where Neyland Stadium was built, the home of the TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS], you'll note that UT was not playing their best football, not the football they are capable of [Ainge was overthrowing EVERYBODY [except for some of the defenders]], and the starters, such as our running back, Gerald Riggs Jr., did not play the whole game...you just wait till we upset the bigger teams, such as LSU and Florida-you'll see that our level of play differs with whomever we are playing. Anyway, Tennessee is 1-0, and you know what that means. Only 13 more victories, and UT is most likely the NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! That is right, for all you non-believers and you who think that other teams are better [cough*kevin*cough], UT is going all the way this year. I realize putting this in print could be dangerous, seeing as it could be thrown in my face if UT were to lose a game. That is the beauty of it all though, because the Tennessee Volunteers will not lose a game this season.

And the game itself was AWESOME! I'm not sure any of you have any idea of the feeling, but it is amazing, just walking in there. Singing ROCKY TOP with 107,529 other people who feel the same way you do [actually, there were some UAB fans too. So subtract about 3 off that number, and you get the number of UT fans][for those of you who do not like math that number is 107,526]. And since it was the only game this year which I will be attending, I naturally spent nearly the entiring game screaming my head off [some of you know what thats like...], and drew many odd spares, some from kids thinking 'is that really a guy making that noise?' and others from the older folks thinking 'we have the ball. Your only supposed to scream when you are on defense.' Of course, i screamed whether we had the ball or not. Naturally. But it is amazing to scream with 107,526 people, when the other team has the ball on your 15, they are down by 7, it is 4 and 7, and there is just little under 4 minutes left in the game. Then know it is the screaming of 107,526 people that un-nerved the QB and wide reciever enough to make the QB to throw it high and the wide reciever to let it go right off his hands. Or, when they are driving and are threatening to score, only to see one Justin Harrel of the UT Vols [a defensive liner] intercept it and return it 29 yards before being taken down. That is 5 minutes of just screaming, yelling, clapping, and stomping. Or when the stadium is all silent, and you're the one to break the silence with a half minute screech. Great fun. Nothing like it in the world. You have not lived until you have gone to a UT football game; there is no better atmosphere not only in the world of college football, but in the world of ALL football, for nobody has more passion for their football than the fans of the TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS. Well, this post has gotten kinda long, and it hurts to talk too much, having yelled myself hoarse...

The only disappointing part was the fact that we were not in the shade, under a cloudless sky, the temperatures hitting above 90. But it was well worth it.

Yes, UT does have a marching band-Pride of the Southland Marching Band; it is awesome and amazing, the best collegiate band in the nation, and with a pregame tradition that is "unrivaled" in the world of sports.

Go Vols
