As my username suggests, I am against a high school on Marco. These people have no idea how sheltered their kids will be. High school is supposed to be a time of growing and learning. These kids are not going to be able to grow into adults if you shelter them from everything off the island. Saying it’s dangerous for them to be driving to and from Lely, and that it takes 3 hours? How fast are they going when they timed that!? I wish they didn’t have this meeting at 9am on a Monday so I had a chance to put my two cents in, as a comment on a Marco news paper website makes no difference. The education is at Lely if students want it. Yes, some Marco kids "fall through the cracks" but i think a little more responsibility falls on the parents for that one. Where are these people getting the idea what their kids won’t thrive in Lely’s environment? What kind of environment is that? I wish they had a website or some way I could contact them to further discuss this issue (if any of you read this, post something)
