[QUOTE="db-2, post: 357298, member: 4743"] The school i went to back in 59 closed. No coop. No combining sports, changing name and colors. I was upset but folks were for it. New class for me was bigger than the whole school i was going to. Competition for grades was fierce. I did not do the best but was pushed to make it. Best thing that happen for me in the long run. Way more opportunities. I feel the worse thing we did was allow schools to combine sports. If the school could not field a competitive team in sports, how can they field a competitive education for the kids. A class of 2 or 5 or whatever is not preparing me for the future. We had to take test given out by the state for reasons in that first school. In time i learn my folks were right and i am glad they close the school and sent me on. A[B] school by itself[/B] cannot save a town. It is good we are having this discussion and hope in goes on in Bismarck and yes i know there are many who want to keep their school going, so have more kids and if need be, get a couple of more wives. db [/QUOTE]
