Giles Free Speech Zone

The purpose of the "Giles Free Speech Zone" is to identify problems of concern to the people of Giles County, to discuss them in a gentlemanly and civil manner, while referring to the facts and giving evidence to back up whatever claims are made, making logical arguments that avoid any use of fallacy, and, hopefully, to come together in agreement, and find a positive solution to the problem at hand.

Why Is The County Losing Students To Other Counties

This topic was requested by a poster.

 I would like to see a discussion on this blog of why we are loosing our school children to other counties. I saw in the paper this week that Columbia Academy will be bussing students from Giles County next year and we already have lost several kids to Marshall and Lawrence County, Are our schools really that bad. What is going on here?
