Marcoptimist- agree 100 percent. My children have friends from many Naples/Marco areas and we have black children and hispanic friends at our home often(from East Naples)skin color or race does not matter- it is what is inside that counts. my children have many friends and they are all "good" kids. We are talking about Lely D school- the environment is not acceptable at Lely. My child is okay at Lely and likes the school. Problem- I expect more from this high school than just Okay- D grade school is not okay! even with a child receiving A. The school is a disappointment for all the children (from a A School) having to attend a D school Lely(unless you have time or money to get your Marco child to another choice). There are many problems and many children that Lely is "just trying" to get graduated high school. I expect my children to get the best education and to be "trying hard" to get into colleges of their choice. A small high school on this island should seriously be looked into, and Thompson and the School Board needs to be openminded and concerned with the education of our children. Our School Board and Thompson have shown blindness- unacceptable. Shame on our School Board! Our children should come first. Tract K= Marco High School.
