Over the weekend, while in Dahlonega, I had an opportunity to visit an elementary school in Lumpkin County where one of my college buddies serves as a technology guru. It was impressive. The elementary school (K-5) had an impressive computer lab. iMac computers, about 25-30 lined up for the little ones to use. They are working with software applications, word, power point, etc. that I didn't learn to use until 12th grade. Most of their technology budget comes from SPLOST (special local option sales tax). Most all of their classroom are equipped with smartboards, which the students love. All teachers have laptops. And as an aside, their new high school stadium has about $750,000 worth of astroturf---donated by local businessmen.
Tonight, there will be a Candidate Forum at the Berrien County Administrative Building in the courtroom from 6 pm to 7:30 pm. We will broadcast interviews with candidates from 5 pm to 6 pm on Talk 92.1 FM. If you live outside our listening area, you can listen to the broadcast online at www.talk921.com. Unfortunately, we will not be able to air the forum itself due to a conflict.
Cool parenting quote: "Parenting is not an intellectual endeavor. It does not emanate from the head. If it did, the smartest people would be the best parents, and I have never noticed that. Good parenting is a matter of how rooted you are in the steady soil of common sense. The heart and the gut are what make a good parent, not the head." -- John Rosemond
Yesterday's post regarding the Powell endorsement generated some buzz. Many conservatives still think this thing is winnable but I'm not sure it is---it'll take something big to turn it around.
