Balboni's 'Pipe Dream' Comes True
Toda, why did you ASSUME that I am male? Why did you capitalize "Sir" and "Capitalization" in your response? Seems as though we all need a lesson! (You're missing the comma after "Sir" in the direct address, as well.)
P.S. I still think this is a great story and warrants more discussion than these silly posts! :-)

Balboni's 'Pipe Dream' Comes True
I believe the girl knows that her name should be capitalized. It's either a human error or a stylistic trait that The Pilot wants to use, like it or not. I still maintain that something nice could be said about what a wonderful story this is about a local girl gone big time!!

Seriously, rd? There's an awesome story about a local girl doing great things and you comment about the writer of the story?

Residents Gather for Candlelight Vigil to Remember Connecticut Shooting Victims
Good Lord, don't arm teachers!! That would be the day I quit teaching! Teachers have enough hats to wear already. Hire more SRO's if you want more protection in the schools.

Reuben's 2012 High School Football Predictions -- Week #3
True. I just wanted to make sure people were aware that STAR 102.5 FM was now covering some high school football. It's a start!

Next Level: Former Patriots Playing on Saturdays
There is probably someone with more interest in the Liberty-Wake Forest game and Spencer Bishops's progress than the two brand new coaches at Pinecrest ... Ernie Purnsley ... Pinecrest graduate; Wake Forest football player and, I believe, a captain while he was there; and current Pinecrest Athletic Director wh actually was AD at Pinecrest when Spencer Bishop was here!!

Schools Prepare for Curriculum Overhaul
TODA ... the first three links you provided are from 2002 from what I can tell. Do you have the links to more recent data?

New School Superintendent From Houston
Is it me or does anyone else find it interesting that Dr. Spence was in Henrico County Schools in VA where Pat Russo was? Also, wasn't Terry Grier one of the three finalists for Moore County Superintendent the same year we hired Russo?

Progress of Schools
Why use the paper version when everything is just about available on internet these days at your fingertips? Yes, he should know how to use an encyclopedia, but really, how difficult is it? I find it hard to believe that a 14 year old boy could figure it out.
What's going to happen when books, newspapers, encyclopedias, etc ... are no longer published? Do you consider that "getting away from the basics"? I don't. Welcome to our world. We soon won't have books --- we have kindles. Newspapers are slowly dying out --- it's all available on the web. Encylcopedias? Really? Do they even print them still?
