_Nate_ such a shame that if you have truly read all my posts/threads in regard to Indian Land (or any of our other surrounding areas) that the best that you have been able to garner from them...is that I seem to like to fight with moedog in regard to Indian Land schools??...this could not be farther from the truth.

But the sheer volume of work forced upon kids is absurd. My wife, me, or our daughter spend an hour a night with him doing homework..

Congratulations on your upcoming move. I have never on this site....expressed what my personal views are in regard to...the current responsibilities of the schools..nor have I expressed my viewpoint on the amount of homework that children bring home with them each night. But I appreciate you sharing yours.

While I agree that in this particular thread I provided a link of the South Carolina Dept. of Education that is truly up to you (or anyone else) if you decide to use it or not. I often provide links in many of my posts/threads...which has nothing to do with my personal viewpoint on a subject..yet I provide the links to offer options...versus just my own opinion. I have also suggested folks take tours of the schools, and/or check out
GreatSchools.net (I do this regardless if I am speaking of Indian Land, Fort Mill, Rock Hill, or where ever)

Put some authority back into the hands of the teachers.

Umm....okay...well, I am beginning to think you haven't read "ALL" that I have written in regard to IL and IL schools...as your response (or shalll I say your opinion on the current state of our schools systems) doesn't add up to what little I really have said about the IL schools...But again thanks for sharing.
Lastly...I will let you in on a little secret...I really could care less where anyone's children will attend schools at...yet I do try and respond to each persons question on this site with as much time and thought as I can offer.
Good Luck with your move.
