THIS AND THAT

**** THIS SCHOOL MERGER HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE THE BIGGEST DISASTER IN MEMPHIS HISTORY .

 IF THE MUNICIPALS FORM THEIR OWN SCHOOLS THE COST WILL BE MUCH MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE SAYING . THE TAX BURDEN WILL BE HEAVY INDEED .

 IF YOU LIVE IN G'TOWN  & ATTEND PRIVATE SCHOOLS, YOU WILL PAY TAXES FOR TWO SCHOOL SYSTEMS YOU DO NOT USE .

IF THE MUNICIPALS HAVE THEIR OWN SYSTEMS THE ENROLLMENT OF THE NEW UNIFIED DISTRICT COULD FALL BY 33 % . THE FUNDS WOULD FALL BY THE SAME AMOUNT & SO WOULD THE NEED FOR TEACHERS .

 THE MUNICIPALS COULD CHOOSE THE TEACHERS THEY WANTED WHILE THE UNIFIED DISTRICT WOULD BE FORCED INTO MASSIVE LAY OFFS .

THE SCHOOLS NOW ARE TOO TOP HEAVY . THEY HAVE TOO MANY ADMINISTRATORS AS IT IS . AS IT STANDS NOW A LOT OF THESE FOLKS WILL BE OUT OF A JOB . THESE FOLKS ARE USUALLY DEEP INTO THEIR  CAREER .

GOING BACK TO THE CLASSROOM IS NOT A REALISTIC OPTION BECAUSE THEY CAN HIRE YOUNG TEACHERS FOR MUCH LESS MONEY . THIS COULD MEAN A BAD END FOR MANY CAREER EDUCATORS .

IT IS A BLEAK OUTLOOK INDEED .  I DON'T SEE  HOW GOOD CAN COME OF THIS MESS .

**** I AM NOT A FAN OF LABRON JAMES BUT I KNOW HIS POSITION . ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS IN SPORTS IS TO WIN WHEN YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO .

 THERE IS NO JOY IN THE CHASE JUST THE BURDEN OF EXPECTATIONS .  THERE IS ONLY THE PRESSURE OF FULL -FILLING WHAT IS EXPECTED.
THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS BREAK EVEN .

LBJ HAS TO WIN IT ALL OR HE HAS FAILED . A LOT OF PRESSURE , NO JOY , A TOUGH PLACE TO BE .
