But just two pages are grabbing the attention of some parents because it deals with subjects that some believe are showing the students in a bad light -- and didn't have to be included at all.<br /><br />It's your typical high school yearbook -- with smiling pictures of the junior and senior class, the Pflugerville High football team, and the theater department. But one section is causing more drama than yearbook staff bargained for.<br /><br />It has a poll on how students feel about sex, shows the nicknames for illegal drugs and how many kids drink on a regular basis.<br /><br />One page is devoted to teen pregnancy. It highlights an expecting high school couple and their fears for the future. It also features a sonogram of their baby. <br />____________<br />The Munchkin will not be attending school in PISD.The Girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490660904698632519.post-55583677966443675502010-05-26T17:04:13.202-07:002010-05-26T17:04:13.202-07:00From preschool through high school, I daughter onl...From preschool through high school, I daughter only stepped onto VISD campuses to visit me. She was schooled at religious schools, for her safety, my sanity and NO TAKS tests. She took an actual standardized test each year and we could plot her progress in her education.<br /><br />No "baby's mommas" sitting next to her; no thugs with pants hanging below their rears; prayers were allowed; high standards of behavior and academic achievement were the norm. <br /><br />So many good reasons not to send your child to VISD....not too many reasons to used the public school system in the Crossroad area.<br /><br />Throughout my many years of teaching in VISD, I had many excellent students; worked with some outstanding staff members and followed the direction of ONE absolute most human, dynamic, compassionate principal ever. He was the heart and soul of our school and held us all the high standard that he maintained for himself. They don't make principals like him any more and we are all the worse for that.Truth Ferrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472512360373689979noreply@blogger.com
