    This dirt bike was stolen from a friend's porch this past weekend. Her little boy sure is one unhappy kid. If you have any information to the whereabouts of this dirt bike, please message me so I can give her your contact info. Thanks in advance from one unhappy little boy who is missing his ride!

    Elementary Schools

    I understand your frustrations with your wife not being hired back with the school district...however, I wish you would refrain from saying that the teachers are less qualified. I believe that now more than ever it is much easier for administration to weed out the teachers who may not be up to...

    Great news for those of you who were so concerned about Boosterthon members interrupting your child's school day! There will NOT be any interruptions in your child's classroom. Now lets see if we can help Butler Elementary reach their fundraising goals. See how you can help volunteer or make...

    It's Boosterthon Season Once again At Butler Elementary

    1st...nice if YOU to not follow school policies. Way to be a model for others. 2nd....if you are that against your children being subject to infiltration by Boosterthon members then I'm sure children could be excused from participating. As far as I know Butler tends to be overly accommodating...

    It's Boosterthon Season Once again At Butler Elementary

    Dearest wilcogal 1974, Surely you are aware that the classroom doors are now locked and barging in by Boosterthon or parents during the instructional day is not permitted. Not to mention, any person who enters the classroom must be checked in through the office where their drivers license is...

    Thanks for finally putting the 'shut to the up' to all those complainers who don't ever seem to have facts.

    That is very unfortunate that this has happened. I would like to think that you are one of few that perhaps did not have just cause for nonrenewal...just curious, did you attempt to apply at other schools within the district after this happened?

    You are right...and it is not a matter of everything being hunky dory. My statement is that teachers and schools are doing the best they can with what they have. Could it be better, of course. But change needs to happen at state levels before much can happen locally. It is a shame that teachers...

    Check out South Walton Charter High School on Facebook. They just had a meeting a few weeks ago. Get connected.

    Those are great concerns and I would be interested to know the answers as well. As for comparing okaloosa and Walton, keep in mind teachers in okaloosa are paid more and offered more resources. Also once all grades go COMON CORE perhaps we will see more uniform across the country to compare.I...

    And yet the question still remains unanswered.... So you are saying that an experienced teacher would be effective in an overcrowded classroom with little support from parents and their community? And wouldn't call it being on my high horse, instead more like loud and proud of my schools! ;)

    My children did have national board certified teachers, and teachers who obviously had outstanding teacher evaluations since they are all still employed in this district (if they made the choice to remain living in this district). Teachers do not look at National board certification as a huge...

    Teresa, I have not put words into anyone's mouth, instead quoted each poster. If you meant to say something different, then perhaps the post should have been written more clearly. I do not disagree that the effectiveness of teachers is one of the most important factors...I do disagree however...

    Way to put it out there VOTING ABC! I agree that instead of bickering, and complaining in this forum or anywhere else, we have to move forward and support what is right. Our vote counts! My point has been that change will not happen until people DO something besides complain. We have great...

    Do you know whether the superintendent in fact did or did not advocate for teachers during the passing of the senate bill? Did you ask her what her stand is on this issue? And as for FCAT rates, that is just a small piece of education. Don't you think authentic learning is much more important...

    Well I hope you are not encouraging your young people to go to college to become teachers since you believe that our county is dumbing down teachers by hiring young teachers on annual contracts. I don't know of any teachers who supported the STATE senate bill that our county is required to put...

    So you are saying that an experienced teacher would be effective in an overcrowded classroom with little support from parents and their community (as displayed in this forum)....please show me ONE teacher who would/could be effective teaching the state requirements with too many students and not...

    Walton County Schools

    Your theory is rather interesting....I would think of it more as an opinion. I know my children had the best 1-3 teachers in this district. Teachers who were/are motivated and truly care about the learning outcomes of all students. Teachers who went ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty. You should...

    You said " A good teacher is a teacher who helps a child learn." I am not saying that experience and education are not huge factors here, but I am saying that motivation and dedication should be considered as well. Just because a teacher doesn't have as much experience as the next does not mean...

    Every teacher hired now is on annual contract so they are not fired or laid off at the end of their contract. That is a STATE law, not county. And please define a BETTER teacher...I can honestly say that while in elementary school in this county my children have not had a BAD teacher. The issues...

    First I want to say that I have four children who have all attended schools in Walton County. I have experienced two different elementary schools, two different middle schools, and one high school. I have volunteered my time in these schools and I challenge each if you who have nothing but...
