The Observation Deck

You really dont know nearly as much as you think you do about Lakewood.

From what Ive read here over the years you do have a blind spot about Lakewood schools.

While I would like to agree with both comments I cannot. But I can understand your take on both subjects, and what you are saying.

I have a ton to learn about both. One reason we started this project. To learn as much about Lakewood as possible.

I have no kids in the schools, and I support school levy and bond issues blindly.

But then, I am from what was it you called it, the McKinley Mafia.

Wow, I haven’t read this thread in over a week, and although several pages have been added I only read the last one to realize nothing in this conversation has changed. The same opinions and information is being thrown back and forth with no one gaining any ground. Some good ideas have been mentioned and should be looked at (therefore they should be submitted to the Committee in the appropriate channels so they can be looked at), but other than that nothing is being accomplished here. I’m not saying nothing has been accomplished, like I said some good ideas have been bought up, but nothing new really has seemed to come up any time recently. Do you think it is maybe time to agree to disagree, shake hands and move on? If you want your opinions heard and to mean something tell them to the committee (or maybe even join it), but voicing them hear and arguing has ceased to be productive.

I apologies if this comes off harsh or mean, it was not meant to be. I just see this thread moving in a bad direction. There is no reason opinions should be allowed to escalate to personal attacks. I’m not saying it has, but I see it moving more in that direction and less towards the schools.

Well said. Thank you.
