I am 100% in favor of an at-large school board. I think our schools have been deteriorating every year since my children have been attending them. My 4th graders class has 28 kids, 6 go to special reading/math and others are disruptive and my 6th graders school has fights almost daily. I think integration is great but when it comes at such high expenses such as relocating children year in and year out, the gas it takes to bus every child everywhere when they could walk to school (pretty silly) plus I have seen where children with greater potential are not as challenged because of the underperformers and disruptive children in their classes. My daughter has a classmate that falls asleep every day and even snores in Science. The sad thing is that it is just ignored,that's pitiful - but that is what the school board brings to the table with busing and something that looks good on paper. I am jealous when a friend of mine leaves the area because I know they will find a good home in a better school district where there child isn't moved every other year.

Please listen to the people of Wake County - we want good schools but you are not allowing that to happen.
