You are trying to ruin another good discussion. Get a job you moron. You are sickning.

Trucker, why don't you add up all the unemployment money you've collected over the years, and give us the grand total. Has to be several thousand dollars. You're no better than the politicians you bash day after day after day.

Did anyone notice the school grades overall for this district. It is a 2 out of 10.. Whooppeee what is the loss. YOu can bring up a better grade homeschooling

Instead of schools why not just open reformatories. There certainly is plenty of need for them.

[guess who]

Bet you would love that wouldn't you Poopsie? That would give you a large number of children to sexually abuse or kill!!!

It's funny how they will cut school funding before they cut everyone else's salaries! Cahokia schools need major renovations yet nothing has been done. Huffman has the exact playground equipment that I played on 24 years ago. I was apauled when I got a letter that says your school has failed state standards, but you can pick another school in district yet all the district schools failed. I moved to another school district and now my kid is bombing subjects. Yet most of the school board members are making crazy figures and bringing home a pay check that most cahokia families will never even get close to having!

My guess is that as a general statement the cahokia educators are the best paid people in Cahokia. Interestingly enough these same highly paid individuals are failing at their jobs based upon the district report cards and college entrance exam scores.
Ponder this thought. Next strike let them all walk. Then get some decent replacement teachers in there. The local colleges have plenty of young fresh certifyable graduate teachers every semester. These young teachers have fresh new ideas, are enthusiastic, want to teach and are not yet corrupted by the money hungry ways of the NEA.
Before the naysayers pop up consider; what you have now is obviously not working. Replace the old retread teachers with new ones. Remember, its for the children

First and far most these kids dont get an education from football basketball etc.they need to be in class besides this school district is terrible they need.to shut down all sporting programs it seems like thats the only concern these parents are worried about get your kidd in class and pay for college like the rest of the world

[ex chs student]

Want to fix this problem? It is simple... If you do not live within the city limits of Cahokia, Sauget, or Centerville you should not be allowed to go to a district 187 school.

[Brian]

Merge 187 and 189 to solve the problem

[Larry]

All you welfare recipients need to pay for your kids educationThe white man has already left town,

If it was that simple there wouldn't be illegal students at Belleville East or O'Fallon!!!!

First of all they have a wonderful music program at the high school. Numerous students have received scholarships and continued on at college. The music teacher and her husband give a lot of their time helping students.

Secondly dont forget about the 2 positions that were created for local politicals relatives (Cutis McCall's sister in law and Mark Jackson, Centreville Mayor, wife. Those were two totally unnecessary positions.

[Like that matters]

That doesn't matter to them because they think we're at the lower end of the food chain & they can & will do anything they like until such time they are either voted out or arrested. And I doubt either will ever happen.

School Board Members dont get paid, they get to take free vacations. Oh sorry, their "continuing education" seminars.

[then and now]

This is the same damn school district that wanted the taxpayers to spend 50 million dollars for a new school a few years ago.
East St. Louis has some new schools, send them there but not the few white kids that still live in Cahokia.

[I say]

Do away with gym, art, music, and sports. These activities will not get them jobs. Half of the kids that graduate cannot speak proper English. Concentrate more on English and math. I would not send my dog to the Cahokia High School.

I disagree with you. The kids need a well balanced education like we had but I'm sure most of them would be happier in East St. Louis where nothing is expected of them.

Convert the parks building to a prison and send them there. Sooner or later they will all be in jail anyway
