Just a couple corrections to Education_Voter's comments. The Chaney STEM/VPA school didn't skim the cream off the other middle schools. There is still plenty of "cream" in the other middle schools as well as at East High School. Not all of "the cream" applied to Chaney. We have regular kids at Chaney whose parents want to take advantage of an opportunity for learning for their child. Chaney students are starting to realize they are in a new environment where faiilure is not an option. Chaney teachers are committed to inspiring, pushing, and working as partners with our students to help them begin to achieve academically. I realize people who post here on Vindy articles are mostly pessimistic people. But, we all should be happy that Youngstown City Schools offers a STEM/VPA experience open to students who would like to challenge themselves.

Back in the day, when I went to Catholic school, I rode the St. Brigid's bus to elementary school. Then in high school, I rode a city bus ten miles to the Catholic high school. I had a talk with my dad once about my tuition and was surprised that he also paid taxes for the public school. He explained that it was his choice to send me to a Catholic school, but he still had to pay his taxes so all kids could go to school. Today its all me me me and not many people feel any responsibility for the greater good of society.

Back in the day, I went to 12 years Catholic schools, and I feel I got a great education.My 30 year old son went to Immaculate Heart of Mary for 1st and 2nd grade. 3rd grade I had to switch him to Watson Elementary. He was put in special classes because his reading level was low. Watson had classes and well trained teachers that the Catholic schools most likely couldn't afford. Thanks to public schools, my son got the help he needed.

It is too bad that every news article about the Youngstown City Schools generates such mean and bitter comments. Not every kid in the city schools is a juvenile delinquent. I've been involved with this "PSI" program for years. The idea is to reach the younger kids with strategies for making good decisions, but the older kids benefit too. They act as teachers, planning their presentations and doing research to stay up-to-date. The experience of getting up in front of others and speaking helps develop self-confidence that carries them on to college. Advising others to practice safe sex and abstinence reinforces their own committment to be responsible for their actions. Lessons learned in PSI spill over into many other areas of the students' lives.

This is a great idea, and a good positive story for the Viindy. Too bad the 10 students didn't get their names mentioned.

I think it is a mistake when the record of wins and losses between Chaney and East is added on to the record of the past match ups between these two teams. In the past it was Chaney vs the East Golden Bears. Today it is the East Panthers. Totally different school and different team. Record keeping should start from the beginning for the East High Panthers. Brian Shaner and his Rayen coaching staff and players should be acknowledged when discussing the games between these two schools today.
