Post of the day: Educated in Giles County Schools
Note from Dan: A poster by the name of FormerStudent put this one on this thread.
“I grew up in Giles and went to school there K-12. I love that place, but they need to move on.
I just wish the school board would have spent as much time on issues while I was in school. When I was there in the 90′s at least three of my classmates were sexually involved with teachers.
The school board knew about it (there were more than 6). The sheriff’s office knew about it. And the school superintendent knew about it. What happened??? Well the teachers quietly resigned and it was swept under the rug (two of the board members are still on the board).
Don’t believe me? Check the minutes on the supervisors meetings. Also, some of them got married. I just wished they cared as much about other important issues.
I blame the news media as well. Why in the world didn’t they every cover that one?”

Good post! I have thought the same thing. Is this truly the hill Giles County wants to die on? What is the graduation rate? What is the college bound rate? What is the unemployment rate? What is the average income? I am going to guess that Giles County has bigger fish that need frying.
Am I reading this right? Teachers sexually involved with their students and even getting married to their former students? How did that slip under the radar?

Who was it earlier that said we all know what she or he knew by his or her “kind of people” or something of that sort.
