Best of the Vent / Clayton

When will black teenagers quit doing the Klan's work for them?

Clayton parents should not worry about CC losing it's accreditation, what they should worry about is their child living long enough to get out of High School.

Let's get real. Very few people voted for Victor Hill. A whole lot of people voted for a black man.

Clayton County school system is the worst I've seen. The students walk around proudly pregnant, curse, disrespectful, lewd, ignorant (can't read in 9th grade). Stop blaming the teachers start blaming the people they go home to.

Those of you calling the teachers dumb, think about this: what about the many students who excel, are on the honor roll, make straight A's? The same teachers are teaching them. Those are the students who are respectful, pay attention, complete their assignments, and don't act up in class. The parents who are complaining are the ones whose kids do the opposite. No, I'm not a teacher.

Every time I think we can't get more comical here in Clayton Co., something even more bizarre occurs. The new financial adviser from MARTA comes to mind.

Maybe Santa will scoop down in Clayton Co., grab Victor up, put him in the sleigh and take him back to the North Pole to help all the other little elves make the toys for next Christmas.

Teach your kids how to speak, pull up their pants and be respectful then I'll not call them thugs.

Goodbye Clayton County Schools! I am an extremely dedicated teacher, and I love what I do. However, today was the final straw. I have been called the "B" word by an unruly student for the last time. I can't take it anymore.

By keeping Thompson, you've just told the world that the people of CC don't have a clue what is really going on and they don't care. You're just hoping that someone will step in and do your job of cleaning up CC. You messed up and voted strictly on race and not qualifications!

This newest joke ( Ex MARTA board member) can't even be blamed on our ignorant voters. Our officials seem to be even less intelligent.

Say it ain't so Clayton Commissioners. Your new "hire" is going to be a bigger joke than even the BOE clown.

Do we have some lonely commissioners or what?

Funny, but those kids who can't afford lunch have cell phones and $200 sneakers.

If you can't afford to raise a child to age 18, then try birth control (or self control). I'm tired of paying for their iPods, expensive running shoes, big screen tv's, etc. I don't even have those myself, and I'm gainfully employed!

NO MORE MASS TELEPHONE CALLS, VICTOR. We know how to report crimes. We've already been doing it without your assistance.

Character, motivation, determination, and hard work all help to determine your destiny. Stop using the race card as an excuse!

Hope an itemized statement of Victor's credit card is published for us to see. It'll be interesting to see what his tastes are in Las Vegas.....or if he even has any!

I think there should be random drug tests welfare and food stamp recipients, after all, most of us working, have to pass drug tests to make the money for them to get handouts!!

Well, can't help but wonder if we'll be on the front page or in the comics today.

To Baines-Hunter and others of the festering foursome: you are not being removed from the Board because you "did your best." You're being removed because, at your best, you are incompetent. Now go!

No, teachers aren't teaching. You're exactly right about that. How can we teach when we're too busy dealing with undisciplined kids whose parents are not involved at all?

Racial voting makes for bad decisions... no matter which race is doing it!

I am a white, educated female who has repeatedly applied for different positions in Clayton County and never even gotten an interview. Can I play a race card?

If Bill Cosby did visit Clayton County he would tell you to stop voting for people just because they are black. He would tell you to vote for people who have the ability to run something anything. You had a good county and good leadership, you ruined it.
