Do you people have nothing better to do than to sit on here and talk about the stray cat issues when your kids aren't getting a good education? I hate to bring this up, but we all need to get our heads out of the sand here! NONE of the schools in Armstrong county provide a good education. Maybe years ago the did. But now they most certainly do not. People are saying that we are so far behind in science that as freshmen in college, people who graduate with honors from Kittanning have to take extra math and science courses, just to get caught up. Why couldn't we have a school like Pine Richland. Why couldn't our sports teams have places to practice. It's not just education but sports too! Do you want all the kids around here to look like pigs? To get into a college, you have to be well rounded.. which includes academics and sports. Kittanning has neither. With so much talent on the basketball team why should we have done so poorly? Bad coaching. If we could combine our talent with ford cities coaching, we could do something. We have no track to practice on. no soccer field no swimming pool and our hockey players have to practice at rediculous times because they can't get ice time. its awful. so not only are our kids getting poor educations. they don't even have good places to practice sports. Comment away... and about all the Pjas stuff that was talked about. you can see all the talent at kittanning by going to the web site. it is completely student run
