re: #75 ObserverArt

My daughter and grandkids live in Hocking County, the schools there are limping along with little to no money. There are no jobs, high rates of drug and alcohol abuse, ridiculous poverty and no one cares. Industry moved out years ago and left nothing behind but the old plants and the waste in rusting barrels. I worry about the kids all the time. My grandson will be 12 this year, he’s really smart but bored out of his skull and keeps getting in trouble. My daughter is hoping the money from a lawsuit (the kids were in an awful car wreck last year about this time, her idiot stepmother was driving while high on methadone, nice huh) she filed will help them get the hell out of there soon. I don’t even think charter schools would work there unless they were 100 percent government funded, no one has any money because there simply are no jobs to be had unless you can travel to Franklin county.
