Tattnall Schools and test scores

(This post was submitted by a reader and is published here in its entirety.)

TCHS Playing Catch-Up?

I recently read some of the test scores from many of the high schools in the area, including Tattnall, Long, Toombs, and Appling Counties. I was surprised to see that Long County students out scored Tattnall County students in required state mandated tests in EVERY category. When I was growing up and still in school, it was considered a travisty to go to school in Long County because we all knew that you didn't get a good education in Ludowici. Things have apparently changed. I also read that the Long County school board is considering school uniforms. This is something that has been tossed around and may have already died at a recent meeting but just the idea of it is progressive, forward thinking on the Long County board's part.

Tattnall needs to get their scores up and take some notes from, dare I say it, Long County.

How about NOISE ORDINANCE (especially concerning) The Brazwell Creek Shooting Plantation!They have no set hours and they continue to shoot til 9:00 p.m. Sunday afternoons can sound like a war zone. It would be nice if the owners would close up at 7:00 p.m and not open at all on Sundays. That way the residents who live in earshot can have peaceful evenings and Sundays, without all the POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW!!!!
