The Thomasville City School’s decision for most of their students to not participate outside in the solar eclipse event is quite disappointing! I was appalled to be told that Scholars’ students are gifted and talented and therefore basically too inquisitive to safely view the eclipse outside. What a rare phenomenon that was missed by so many potential scientists! Next time, take a note from the county school system where over 7000 students (beginning at age 3), staff and parents safely watched outside.

Schools that take summer trips to foreign countries are putting the children in jeopardy. Look at what recently happened in Spain! You cannot be too careful in today’s violent world.

Hey Syrupmakers: Please don’t wear those ugly red pants again. Worst looking thing I have ever seen and they sure did not help you play any better. Just atrocious!
