Re: Give 'em what they want

Kudos to these kids. They have obviously been reading the News & Observer about all the covert activites happening in state government. "I don't remember" seems the mantra of all those involved in the investigation. So a few extra points might be in order since some kids can't remember test information.

These kids are only putting into practice what they see the adults doing. No harm there. What is good for the goose should be good for the gander. These kids deserve an "A" in civics.

If the principal thought this was acceptable, she needs to be looking for a job away from education.

I get it.

It takes a village.

It doesn't, huh? Just a garage in the backyard and box that talks to God.

See you on Nancy Grace.

Re: Give 'em what they want

These children are the future of North Carolina politics. How enterprising these youngsters are! They will go far in North Carolina politics. Selling grades is a new twist in "pay to play." I'm sure the politicians are already trying to recruit these youngsters. It is important to teach 'em young.

It takes a village.
