Innocence Lost

Since August 23, 1992, Anthony Graves has been behind bars for the gruesome murder of a family in Somerville. There was no clear motive, no physical evidence connecting him to the crime, and the only witness against him recanted, declaring again and again before his death, in 2000, that Graves didn’t do it. If he didn’t, the truth will come out. Won’t it?

Right Place, Right Time

I concur with parent comment, Frisco ISD is not the place to be if your child needs any sort of assistance, Texas is 49th of 50 as the worse provider of assistance for any disability, in fact, the state of Texas schools in general, do not provide anything for their students, they are merely a head count for tax dollars. Texas schools are the WORSE in the nationa for HS graduates. My advice, DONT go to Texas schools, they provide more for illegals than a citizen and don’t care.....

There are a lot of things looked over in public schools that are done by some teachers. They say its open door policy but once the parent speak with some teacher about concerns they are having between the teacher and there child. All of a sudden your child becomes this bad student. And the teacher no longer provide the help that your child may need they are just left out. I’m a very professional person I always speak that way. What she did to my daughter she will remember for the rest of her LIFE. On awards day as she gave out ceritfcates for honor roll she looked at my daughter and smiled as if to say see what I can do to you, My daughter wanted to cry but I told her God knows all thing shes not fooling him. So dont you cry baby and I gave her a hug. singed Things that are over looked while looking
