Ya, Magoon, I agree with you here...(speaking as a teacher)...we have no power to do anything disciplinary anymore...If you have time, you could shoot me an email with some of this stuff, too...I like to stay informed. PM me if you like and I'll send you my email address.

I hear you loud and clear on the teen-age population (in general, of course!) but want you to know just how tightly teachers' hands are tied in this area. I can tell you some stuff that will blow your mind.

Thanks,
Deb

I have several friends and family who are in the teaching business. I sympathize with the ones who sincerely care. I would like to post some pictures for these people who are asking about Alaska. I would like to know how Rance was able to post images in text area?

Mesa is neck and neck with other U.S. communities for having the highest murder rate per capita, per person. In my previous career I worked continuously in all of the 48 states for about 15 years. This may give testament and creditability in formulating my opinion.
Experience and wisdom says large numbers of teens placed in a college like environment without supervision does not cultivate much positive, instead negative prevails. Sitka has the highest number of non-graduating (High School) young adults in Alaska. My concerns are; every year the number of young adults with undesirable attitudes become more like the people in the places you taunt me with. Before going on. I would like to say. I do not thrive in negative conversation. I would rather speak of good and positive. However, responding to your post in response to my post I will point out some facts. A social meltdown of our young adults is currently being experience in all of the U.S. This is a cycle stemming from the Baby Boomers Freedom Movement (BBFM). Please understand and follow what I am saying. I am specifically speaking about the lack of discipline and structure in public schools and in most American families. Parents are fearful in punishing their children because of a very high probability of being investigated by Child Protection Services and or being criminally charged by the Law. The consequences of this manifestation is enormous. Locate and access current statistics (career and financial development) on our young adults today coming into the workforce in relation to the projected economy in the next 20 years. You will clearly see the disaster is coming quickly. This data brings an overwhelming feeling of being invaded with a massive army of destruction. I am NOT opposed to the general teenage population. I am opposed to all ages of children not in a structured environment being taught respect and manners by parents and teachers.

Very Sad; The Socialists/Comunists, One Worlder/ North American Union crowd , Chase Manhattan Bank and International Bankers and about 12 Superwealthy Men have taken over American and World Governments , the Media , and The Monetary System (ie, privately owned bank called ' THE FEDERAL RESERVE) of the World.

Be aware of their tactics; They use Environmental Issues, Shortage Panics, Race tensions, Class Warfare, Political infighting, Child Protection services, Planned Parenthood, and false flag maneuvers, to name a few.

Everything on Network Television is (Psychological Programing).

Yes a handful of Men, Trillionaires!!! folks........ They have raped , pillaged and killed the USA and most of the world.

Rance:
Thanks for fixing the links. I was only trying to help others get a better visual idea primarily of Sitka and a few other places. The info you sent me about uploading images is exactly what I have been trying to do on this thread. I have managed a few blogs myself and I would suspect a setting in the php control panel was blocking my images. In the other thread where you sent me the image loaded fine. Like I said I have tried exactly the same steps many times over here without success. I will try again at the end of this post and see what happens. Thanks for your help.

These problems reflect a systemic syndrome that has purposely been visited upon our economy and financial system. This all didn’t happen by accident. The elitists know what they are doing. Free trade and globalization didn’t just happen to us. It was planned as a gateway to world government years ago and it has been used as an instrument of power many times in the past. The problems of our vehicle industry just didn’t happen, they were planned just as the S&L fiasco was planned and our current subprime problems were planned. Our Congress hasn’t acted and won’t act because they do as they are told. They are either paid off or compromised. They march in locked goose step with the lying Treasury and our privately owned Fed. Our financial system passed the point of no return five years ago. There is no way back, our entire financial system is coming down. What we do not know is at what speed, but the results are undeniably assured.

Safe, clean, great schools....relatively rural (no city life, am looking to have minimum 10 to 15 acres and buidling from scratch). i would like somewhere coastal and more south and west or the peninsula. Through my starting research I have found Sitka but don't have info on schools there yet. The research is getting to be less and less fun so am asking for help. Am looking for a few more ideas before I make a trip to check them all out. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!!!!

I am curious if you have made a decision about where you will be moving to here in Beautiful Alaska? I am not going to try and convince you of anything different. I am curious about what area you have chosen and how it captured your attention.

Hoonah, Alaska.


Juneau, Alaska.


Sitka, Alaska.

I’m sorry, but your post does not compute! I can not understand what your point is?

I thought about cutting some of the lines out, but that is not my style. I am trying to understand what you were trying to say here, and my guess is that you're saying not to come to Alaska.

If that is so, I beg to differ. Alaska may have changed, and maybe even for the worse, but that doesn't change the fact that it is still the best place for me to raise my boys. They love it.

This is an open forum, and opinions do differ, but if you would care to re-read your post, and please clarify, I would be happy to discuss our difference of opinion.
