FEEDBACK

There was one response to the question: What are your expectations for the upcoming Mustang football season?

• • • • •

With understanding regarding the entertainment fervor surrounding athletics worldwide: I would like to offer another point for consideration.

I am hoping and expecting that parents, educators, fans and all others involved and interested remember that: 1.) Football, and all other games associated with the school system, is an extra curriculum activity and 2.) These football players and others are our children with unlimited futures when partnered with a proper education. Please let’s make education first — for real.

Have our school administrators undertaken a follow-up inquiry on our children after the cheering for them here in Forrest City stops? If so, what were the findings? Please print them if they exist.
