i would just like to say that i think that certain kids get picked on and singled out because of who they are not$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.thats how its always been in alleghany county schools.the bullying needs to stop and sadly there is more bullying from some teachers than there are the students themselves.a good teacher cares about her studentsbut quite often that is not the case.if u respect them as students then they will respect you as teachers.how u approach and talk to them makes all the difference in the world.i dont know why this certain teacher has a problem with my son but according to her and the pricipal he is disrupting the whole class and driving the teacher nuts but her personal problem may have something to do with the fact that she cant cope with certain things.he has been moved out of her homeroom thank god. he answered one of my prayers about this cituation and im sure he will answer the rest.im not a parent that stands by andlets her child be singled out bullied out and treated unfairly. not happening!!!!!!!!

"We have no public transportation here and no jobs you have to go out of the area for work. Winston-Salem is an hour away, you might find a job in Elkin, Wilkesboro, Mt. Airy, or maybe in Virginia. "
