Northern investigation could have come later
Concerning the athletics recruiting brouhaha at Northern Guilford High School: I have written school board member Darlene Garrett, and my husband has tried to contact interim Principal Pat Spicer at Northern (without a response from either) to find out why this investigation was begun when students are preparing for the all-important EOGs. To have the principal resign (apparently under pressure), the articles (rumors) in the paper and all the other fallout from this makes the situation nothing but a distraction for students and certainly teachers during the most stressful time of the school year.
How could this not affect the students?
If the motto for Guilford County Schools is still “Children First,” when are they going to be?
What would have been the harm in waiting until summer to handle this? Is there anyone willing to answer a simple question?
