Lolol @ Clayton County...
Quite possibly losing their accreditation. Meaning that the County will lose it's overall teaching license. I doubt it will make any difference seeing as how no one went to school there to learn anyway. I'm so glad I don't live in that shiithole anymore. Later, QD.

The kids can still go to school in Clayton. It just means their Diplomas won't be worth the paper they're written on. In reality all those kids will end up getting bussed to other schools putting more of a strain on those institutions and soon they will also crumble. The "No child left behind" act had noble intentions, but will ultimately do more harm than good. It's one of the reasons my wife quit teaching. We need a voucher system and let the schools compete for students.
I know that but why bother. Without an accredited diploma, most colleges won't even look at you. Hope Scholarships are done. But again, it's Clayton County. Students only go there to practice being a "thug." And with the housing situation the way it is, it's already hard enough to find a buyer for a home, let alone a buyer with children that scrutinizes a school system. SO these families that live in ClayCo are going to have to spend the extra money to send their kids to Fayette, Henry or Fulton County schools. And I know the parents of those schools can't be happy about that prospect. No school system in GA has much criminal activity that Clayton. Later, QD.Originally Posted by Echonova

There is a lot of truth in that statement. If no other school system has as much crime. Is it the school's fault or the parents of these kids? Maybe if the school were teaching kids instead of policing them the scores would be better. Now in order to lose their accreditation they have to fail a couple years in a row. Which they have. But if the parents haven't given a sh*t so far (I know that's a general statement and yes there are exceptions) why are they going to now? Kids will be away from home longer (bus routes) = free babysitter. The public school system was origionally designed to teach indigent children (slaves) it was never intended to become the behemoth it is now. Name me one thing the government does better than the private sector. The government that cannot do anything quickly or efficiently is teaching everyone's kids. So spending more of our money to ship the kids farther is no problem for them, so these kids can get a "quality" governement education.
Fayette County residents will not allow it. DeKalb tried that program and it was called the "M to M" program, and residents of Tucker, Dunwoody and other nice areas of DeKalb put a halt to that program after 4-5 years. The No child left behind act has severely crippled the education system (Ty Bush), but the problem with Clayton county schools are the parents. How can teachers teach when they have to continuously interrupt class to handle discipline problems. I spent a month going to class room to class room (k-10) to complete my college assignment, and I actually felt bad for teachers as I thought they were babysitters

link on this?
well I guess we can count on fayette county to being to look more and more like clayton county over the next few years. It's pretty sad when stuff like this happens but you know the parents are ultimately to blame as they don't spend enoguh time disciplining their kids at home and instead the schools have to do it and because of this they are losing their acreditation. I'm so glad to be out of High School.

not going to happen, trust me. Clayton County has to many students to just bus them to other school districts. Almost all schools are near or are over crowded and there is no way any school district in metro atlanta could take even a 1,000 more students in just a year. They can't even keep up with the current growth.
I think Clayton County should just do more technical programs to get their students more involved and also other school district should go back to that way also. More students would stay in school, because they would pick up a trade that will benefit them right after high school (Not everybody is cut out for college)

lol my cousins go to school there, but they seem to be doing well.
What we need is a team made up of Denzel Washington to motivate them and Samual Jackson to kick ass like in 187.
We have a school like that here in macon called Hutchings Career center along with getting their diplomas students specialize in a trade, and during their senior year they intern at local businesses and most get a job at that business when they graduate.

Clayton county wasn't that bad a decade ago, I'm glad I grudated before alot of what I hear now is happening. When I left, wanna be gangs was becoming more active.
Back in the late 90s, the majority of the clayton county area where I live was made up of, were mostly white senior, now they all moved out and less fortunate people replace them. And you know the stories of poor community breed, crimes/criminals. Kinda sad tho not all the kids that goes to school, actually want to do these kinds of things, but they just need one rotten egg, to spoil the bunch.
This is what public transportation and gentrification will do to a community.
"That would make Clayton the first district in Georgia to lose its accreditation and only the third in the nation in the past 20 years."
That is just sad. I hear you TigerJC, but Fayette has been and is going down; it seems to be struggling to blend with PTC, but seemingly it is becoming another ClayCo and if this bumps students over here then the struggle to retain "Fayette" as it were is futile.

R U Serious? That is pathetic....
However, I CAN believe it. Those kids down there can't spell "car" let alone "automobile"

Exactly. Fayetteville tried to keep the ClayCo image away and tried it's hardest to be another PTC. But Riverdale and Jonesboro said fucc that. We're dragging you down with us. Later, QD.

QD where you from man I always thought you lived on the northside

sad sad situation. a damn shame........
Yes Fayetteville has changed a great deal in a 10 year span, but it hasn't gone down that much. The population of Fayetteville has also exploded, but still is a great place to live. Thank god for high property taxes. Ptc sees a lot of drug crime, but of course Fayetteville sees the most.
Majority of the crime in Fayette county is done by Clayton, Fulton, and Newnan residents
