Eastern rises, slowly but surely, from the ashes

The word is in that some Eastern Guilford students will resume classes Wednesday.

According to the News & Record's Sue Schultz, 11th- and 12th-graders will begin classes Wednesday at the GTCC's Wendover campus. The ninth and 10th grades will begin classes Nov. 14 at the old Central N.C. School for the Deaf campus in Browns Summit.

That's very encouraging news; the sooner the students can re-establish some semblance of a nornal academic routine, the better.

This also probably is as good a time as any to commend the community for rallying around the school after a fire destroyed its physical building last week.

People and organizations from all over have stepped up and helped out.

If only we could sustain such universal concern for our public schools when there isn't a crisis. It probably isn't fair or realistic to expect it, but wouldn't it be nice if we could bottle some of that compassion and save it for later.

Thats very good news!

Allen,

What "universal concern for our public schools" would you like to see, and what isn't being provided on a regular basis?

Gatecity Keeper said:

The universal concern for the local public schools should be the current composition of the School Board, Dr. Grier, and an incompetent admistrative staff.

Everything trickles down from there.

Amen, Allen. Thanks for the nice welcome back on the crane strand, but I've actually been here blogging all along under my multiplicity of aliases, but I did have to leave the warehouse on Gallimore Dairy Road since it was raided by agents of High Point city government-the same people who have been taking down signs from the roadsides, and I am now operating from a local public library, but I obviously can't tell you which one.

Seriously now, have been out, along with many others on the campaign trail trying to actually do something constructive and improve the schoolboard. Hopefully, and with your help and that of the electorate, we are one step closer to never again having a single Guilford Co. mother awaken in the middle of the night in that terrible cold sweat, hearing that awful sound of horse hooves on her front porch, followed by the splintering of her front door, knowing that Dottie The Hun has come for her children.

Until that great day, I reamin, very truly yours,

Skeet Club Savage.

I think that it is great that the community is showing so much support for the studetns and faculty of Eastern Guilford. Being from Greensboro, I can honestly say that this one of the most memorable things that I can recall. I never thought that a school would burn down to the ground.
