It’s Your Call for Nov. 21

Make up your minds

This is on the St. Joseph School District. My opinion is they are a bunch of unprofessionals who cannot make executive decisions. Our school district has been a mess now for I don't know how many years. It was a mess when I was a kid going to school here, but it's worse now. And you know, what's so hard about making your minds up? And it’s just like City Hall; City Hall is the same way.  

Causes division

I just want to raise a concern about this idea of closing Benton High School. It seems like the South End of St. Joseph, Missouri, through the years have been treated a little differently than the rest of the city. To shut down a facility like that or change it and only have two high schools, I just see it causes division in the town of St. Joseph. You know, these two other high schools from Lafayette, from Central, and if you really look at the city in whole. Why can't it be equally divided in three ways? 

A thousand different paths

I'm calling about the high school situation. I was thinking, there are so many things that the school board could do. They probably feel that they must do whatever their high-priced consultants and what everybody has been saying they must do for years. That's completely false. They have the power to stop something very foolish: shutting down one of the high schools in St. Joe. There are a thousand ways to go about dealing with fewer students and less money. 

Just like Trump

Back in the good old days, a father could tell their children, study hard and you could be President of the United States. Who would want to tell their kids they could be just like Trump?
