Looks like our YSU kids need to give these German youngsters a little history lesson perspective on all the rust around here. The steel power that whupped their Reich attitudes came from right hereabouts. We set them back a good hundred years and then we cleaned them back up with the Marshall plan and now they got some advice for us? That's just real real nice of them folks. If we wanted to clean up we'd do it ourselves with the YSU kids.
Well, live long enough I guess. I'm sure these are nice kids and all, but they need a little perspective here. We got a lot of industrial dirt here because what was made here is one of the big reasons Germany got beat. So go on back and get busy with your own rust belt, we got YSU students here that can come up with a whole lot better than this bunch can.
Let's see now, the Board don't like people complaining about being in academic watch, and they want to get to excellent, and they hire this Hathorn to get them there, but they want folks to know the Board don't support him? Atkinson says people want to know why they should send their kids to schools in academic watch. But he's not explaining why they should support Hathorn making the changes to get them there when he won't support him, himself. This paper never asks the questions that most folks would like to know the answer to. If this Board don't support old Connie, what are they going to tell those parents up in arms about the changes? Ask them that one. They got folks thinking the problem is making changes and the guy making the changes in the problem. Otherwise, everything would be excellent? I guess folks who elected these fools deserve them.
Whoa there Mr. Attis. I never claimed to be the brightest bulb on the porch. I must have missed something. Just tell me what those heroic folks did, whatever those hero acts were and I'll be applauding right with you. This story could sure use some of those hero acts, that's for sure, I agree with you there whole hearted.
I don't see how this story can get any worse. Not only did those big boys forget to drag even one friend out of the car with them, when they went for help they forgot to mention there were people left underwater in the car. Just went to get help for themselves, sounds like. When that biggest one said he had to kick loose of the seatbelts going out, I just hope those were the seatbelts he was kicking. I blame Ted Kennedy for this kind of thinking. Since old Ted kicked loose and swam both sides of the river 2 times before he figured out a phone call strategy, no one is helping anyone out of a sinking car anymore. And this one wasn't even sinking. Tires sticking out of the water, and those big boys ran off down the road for help for their own selves. It must be damned tough growing up in those parts. Parents not doing their job, and can't even get a hand from a friend you gave a ride to. Can't even expect him to mention you're drowning when he calls for help. No worse than Ted I guess.
Point is, for all the money wasted on recruitment fees - think it was something over 100 grand, taking this job was only to get a bigger retirement payout. They have this calculation deal that says if you can snag a promotion at the last minute, they'll pay your retirement like you always worked at that level. Moving expense is the only thing saved in that whole scam. Anyway, as for where folks kids go to schools, this is America, and I don't think it's come to the idea that your boss gets to dictate that one.
I get your point, but it seems kind of unreasonable to makes folks move household when they're only working just long enough to pad their retirement calculation. Should have saved that whopping recruitment fee though - wonder why nobody ever chased down that fee business on that deal. That was the real money in this whole story.
Gay Pride, well I agree your sex preferences shouldn't be in a holiday parade, whatever the hell it is. Pro, Anti, Bi, Gay, Hetero, what's it got to do with a holiday? The lady calling folks evil has her own problems, I guess. But, I wish these Pride folks paraded on more important things they cared about than what they matched up with romance wise, I do think it gives kids the wrong idea of where they should focus their thoughts. It ain't all about sex folks, not even on the holidays. Could have got together under better banners than your sex life is all I'm saying.
I like how these boys just get right to the crux of the matter and remind folks to use the sidewalks. How about do your drinking at home or at least in the damn gutter and don't go out stumbling into traffic. I don't think these victims could have found a sidewalk in daylight, much less darkness.
I don't blame those kids, they were young and stupid and that can always get you killed, almost killed me, in fact. But there is plenty of blame to go around here and this story gets worse and worse. Parents are saying that's how they were raised to explain those youngsters being out all night long. Really? and that worked for them? They don't want better for their kids? Look where those parents are now, living in the projects, and look where those poor kids are. Too bad someone didn't want better for their kids than they had it themselves and put the energy into it to sit on those kids. Who were they counting on to do it for them - the penal system? Those kids paid too high a price for that kind of parenting, and so did the parents. And those two that got out a little bruised up. Couldn't they have helped out at least one more? Even the friend that was telling them to bust out a window? You wait for others to help you out, it can be too late. You can help each other meanwhile. I know it can be done. And the driver, no license, no business driving, already has a four-year old, now an orphan. And the worst part yet. Just what kind of establishment was that car owner running that involves young boys spending the night with a 19 year old woman not related to anyone there!!?? And what was the role of that 19 year old woman in that establishment. And the police go there and fill out a stolen car report? I like how those police get right to the crux of the matter. Reminds me of another headline today where the police are telling folks not to walk in the streets, you could get killed. That community has some thinking to do and so do those two boys with some scratches and bruises, about helping each other out because no one else is going to do it for them, not in time to do any good, and not just when an accident happens either.
German students propose improvements for Youngstown

Youngstown BOE lower’s Hathorn’s evaluation, but claims not personal
