I'm tired of the race card being played here its just a cop out for the lely lovers anyone who has ever lived any where but here would understand this no matter where you live there is multiple ethnic backgrounds that make up what is known as the student body as I have mentioned before my child's school that she previously attended before lely was just as such,I will break it down 50% black/ 20% Hispanic/30% Caucasian and all the blacks bussed in where from gang and drug laden neighborhoods,the Hispanics parents where mostly farm hands,The white children where from the small suburban town into which this school is located but due to a committed teachers staff this was also a B School so to say race has a factor in the fcat result is a joke its teachers not performing there duty that is the problem so lets get off the everyone's racist B.S. and have these teachers be accountable for there short comings and failing the most important asset to there career there students! If anyone is to blame for those empty seats at lely its them no one wants there child to have a unsatisfactory education that folks is the real world, I'm glad that at some point lely provided a proper education as we hear results of past and ready to graduate students reveal but this problem is recent and it basically applies to freshman thru sophomore and soon to be high school aged children these are the effected ones...On a separate note its mentioned how much money is put into lely buy collier county school board my question is how much money does Marco Island pour into collier county think about it!!!
