DEL.ICIO.USThe real battle is over which high school gets the clubhouse
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Cobb County school system is again redrawing its high school districts to accomodate new construction. This time much of the action is in the far northwest corner.
School board members are in the rough for dividing a massive golf community in two.
Let’s just say that political discourse in this territory is conducted on a higher plane. Today’s Marietta Daily Journal has an angry resident saying this:
“I just don’t understand how anyone in their right mind can take a community and play holes one through three and be in the Harrison school district, and play holes four through nine and be in the Allatoona school district.”

What more do you expect when it comes to the Cobb County BOE (or ‘Stupid ARE We IN Cobb’)? What makes sense is to draw ALL district lines without dividing sub-divisions and neighborhoods—BUT NO! These lines are drawn as if the goal is to make as many residents as angry as possible and to make as little sense as possible. CCBOE loves to take credit for the academic success of its students—-we that live in Cobb know where the credit belongs—-to the parents, the students, and the teachers. The administration has NOTHING TO DO WITH ACADEMIC SUCCESS.

The Cobb BOE is made up of village idiots.
