Randy: As a 1980 Irving grad I'm sad to say I'm torn up by this video. Irving was a great school when I attended and to use your words, the teachers taught. what I read on your blogs about the Joplin School District saddens me. I graduated from Joplin High in 1986 under a very different administration than what I read about on your blog. Education shapes who we are. I frequently wonder if I would have turned as successful as I am today if I would have graduated under the current administration
I wish they would quit using that "mission accomplished" logo. It hearkens back to President Bush after Saddam was captured, and we know how well things went after that moment of bravado. Surely nothing drastic will happen here, but bragging like that always sets you up for a reality check.
