Well this is all very relevant but...

Who here has ever been to lely?

Who here has ever talked to a lely student?

Who here will be affected by this new high school at all?

"and there's your sign"

- I love lely and am receiving a great education from lely. I am taking JROTC with LTC Price and in all honors classes. I do not feel that a high school on Marco island could benefit me in ANY of the ways that lely does. Maybe i wouldn't use gas driving to school every day but is it worth it?
- Not to me. or anyone who would need to give up a class they love. For me it would be JROTC, ROTC is not just a class to me. ROTC is my family. For another student it may be band, art, construction, criminal justice the list goes on and on.
- and all for what to save gas? If you could offer everything that lely currently does, im all for it, but you cant! The fact is that with a smaller class size you cant have as many classes, so you cut classes, and then what are you left with? Core based curriculum?
- No thank you! High school is not about the core classes it is about learning as a whole and growing and becoming adults.
