25- Yes I am. Not only am I a teacher at Lely, I am also a Marco resident for 19 years, a father of a Marco teenager and a coach for the MICMS. I am not affraid of my opionions and I am not affraid to hide behind a generic username. May I ask who you are? I honestly believe that the student that wants to get a great education at Lely can and do get one. As stated, I have worked at many of the local high schools in one capacity or another. I know what they all offer. If I did not care about the school and its students I would not be there. I chose to work at Lely from another high school.
Voice, No, I have not talked about this with any student, here or at school. You say you have a tenager so you know they are very opionionated and do not need someone to tell them to speak their mind.
You both may notice, I did not give my opionion about whether there should be a high school on the island. I only gave my opionion that is contrary to some of the things 25 said about the students from East Naples and Lely.
There are many great students and parents on Marco that I work with everyday. But, I stand by my drug remarks. There are some parents that bury there heads in the sand and there is a drug and alchohol problem on this island. It has been there for many years. Be thankfull your child is not involved and has not been around those that are involved, but that does not mean it does not exsist.
