That is amazing, absolutely amazing.

How good is that.
Any kid that doesn't grasp the opportunity offered by that setup, is dumb.
All my old teachers had was a blackboard, chalk, some dog eared books, and as an aid, a cane to beat us with!

That’s a great school! I also like that daughter (grand, great grand) she’s really natural and feels like she’s just talking. Not reading lines.

We visited yesterday when they had student orientation. The video does not do it justice. The place is amazing. The football, basketball, softball, baseball stadiums are awesome. Next the the state HS football championship with be played there. And the middle school and early learning center is just as amazing. Across from the HS will be the new town square. Can't wait to see that.

A quick look at the theater makes me think that it will quickly become " The Sharon" for Southern Villagers. Hopefully we will be able to support two venues of this size with the same quality/variety of performances as presently exists in Spanish Springs.

Absolutely incredible... Kudos!

I'm blown away. Please explain eligibility. I understand a parent/guardian must be employed by a business in The Villages for their kid to qualify, but what about tuition? Wow. I might get a job in TV and adopt a kid just so I can be a part of this experience. ������

Who paid for this unbelievable campus?

Makes we want to go back to school!

I think it was the awful money grabbing, evil Developer.

In a sense, I'm a little proud that everyone who purchased a home here helped pay for it.

I’m with you. The schools I went to were never that nice.

This in an amazing facility. (Perhaps more buffalo than roamed on the range.) I love how students are being prepared for the hospitality profession by teaching them to wait tables and for construction management without referring to, say, carpentry or plumbing. Nice shop! This will help students aspire as well as get entry-level jobs. I saw a shot in a library, but I didn’t notice any books. Perhaps that is appropriate, given the word last night that the Florida legislature has passed a law forbidding teachers from assigning students to read entire plays by Shakespeare (died 1616). Only carefully chosen quotes that will be on exams will be allowed. Well, after all, Romeo and Juliet encourage suicide pacts between fourteen year old lovers! And Hamlet’s mom marries her brother-in-law who killed her husband. And Lady Macbeth was a murderer. Indeed, Shakespeare’s plays are as filled with murder and sex as dozens of movies today! Can’t have that! (Less than most rap songs, though.) Also, Shakespeare’s plays are in fact filled with double-entendres, though most students won’t catch the jokes,. (The book “Shakespeare’s Bawdy” lists them all.) But who needs Shakespeare. Who understands Shakespeare? (Well, I do, and everyone else in my family.) But imagine if any kids from Florida get into Harvard and discover that they are drowning academically because they don’t have the knowledge elite students are expected to have, even though they have lots of buffalo. Below is an example of a Shakespeare quote with double meanings.
