GMan 3,569 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 [ QUOTE ] 4 lunches...people are still having to share lockers and all classes have at least 23 students... [/ QUOTE ] There have always been 4 lunches. How can people be sharing lockers? Did they take some out? When I was in school there were nearly 600 students in four grades and there were tons of empty lockers...pretty sure we counted them one time and there were over 700 lockers back then. And almost all of my classes had more than 23 students...even chemistry with Mrs. Ireson. The sad part is we got a better education then than what the offer now...the SOLs are dumbing down ALL the students... Here's an idea...one of you kids at Graham, go count the number of lockers and give us a total... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano5 14 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 they got new lockers about 2 or 3 years ago and they are wider and there arent as many...but only like 10 or 20 fewer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHS189 10 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 the lockers are about 1 and 1/2 times bigger..so their are a pretty good amount fewer....and all im saying is that IF there is any money saved from closing PHS then it should stay in the Eastern part of the county...

[/ QUOTE ] Why? First off there will be money saved. Second, why would the money stay in the eastern part of the county? THis is supposed be for the good of the entire county...we all pay the taxes, the money should go to all the schools. And if the lockers are so much bigger then there shouldnt be a problem for students to share them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetMoney55 11 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 what is the student population at Graham High? I know Bluefield has total enrollment of about 620 but on a good day we have maybe 500 students there. With this point, looking at Graham High from the outside, it seems plenty big enough to hold just that many students, if not more, as it appears to be just as big if not larger than Bluefield High School. Granted Ive never actually been inside of Graham High, but im just making my assumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetMoney55 11 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 no one from Tazwell county should be complaining about not getting out of school. My God, if I pee in front of Graham High School, it will be a two hour delay. If I poop down the street from Richlands, school might just be cancelled.

Guest JJBrickface Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Yeah Graham kids can't complain at all. There were many, many, many days that Tazewell County was closed or on two hour delay while we had to go on full schedule in Mercer Co. Consider yourself lucky.

GHS189 10 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 i know of quite a few that have wrecked this year...chardy...brittany hayes etc....and im not talking about me getting to school i live 5 min from it and drive a 4wd truck im talking about the people on top of springville mtn ....or who have to come over trashdump hill.....and i know colleges down get out much....however most the the people who go to BC live within 5-10 miles from the campus....GIS's gym was funded by parents...and all im saying is that the eastern side needs the majority of the money...and as an alumni from graham...and had an inside look at what is wrong with the school...i would think you would see my side of this....

beano5 14 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 no i dont because youre examples werent that good...Graham does not need money...unless you just want all the sport teams to get new uniforms or stuff like that...the school itself is in fine condition and like i said needs only a few adjustments here and there...

GHS189 10 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 ok so do what you said give it to all sports except football....they have enough ...im sure soccer could stand some new equipment and uniforms and stuff, as could baseball softball track volley ball wrestling golf and every other sport that "the almighty" you know who doesnt give a rats behind about....

[/ QUOTE ] But why?!?! It was already shown that Richalnds has the lowest per student cost out of every school. Graham has the most out of the three remaining high schools...so they deserve even more? Im not saying Richlands should get all of the money, Im just saying that it should be evenly distributed.

GHS189 10 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 so that the people paying taxes in pocy dont see the money they are paying.....richlands may have to lowest per student cost...but they also have pretty much the nicest facilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
