“The Truth Hurts”: By Sandra Stroud
A (CCS) school board member took offense to an article I wrote concerning students graduating high school without being able to read at a proficient level or write in cursive handwriting. Here is my Reply.
Any School Board member who has the initiative can put forth a motion to make formal reading classes and cursive handwriting a part of the educational curriculum in all elementary schools in Cleveland County.
Any school board member that thinks that these two subjects are important in a child’s education can present his innovative ideas of how to implement these subjects into a school curriculum.
School Board are established to carry out the educational needs of all school children. It doesn’t matter whether a school building is aged in years or whether it is of the newest architectural style. These things are insignificant if children are graduating from them without being able to read proficiently and write their names in cursive…
Parents need to become pro-active about this issue!!

Editor’s Note: Thank you Ms Sandra Stroud for speaking your mind and advancing your ideas and opinions. Robert A believe others will soon be doing this very same thing. It is obvious that YOU are not afraid of Kahuna Robert Queen and your willingness to share your many years of experiences with teaching formal reading classes to elementary school children in an adjoining county is welcome.
Folks, Stay tuned for more thought provoking articles. Ms. Sandra Stroud, Robert A and others have hit on the many weaknesses of Cleveland County Government. School Board, Commissioners, etc. Be prepared when Robert A puts all this together. Also, folks, it is getting time for good people who care about our children and their education to get themselves ready to run for the School board in the 2024 Elections. Commissioners too. The Candidate filings starts December 4th at High Noon through December 15th at High Noon;5th with the Primary Elections in early March 5th of 2024. If you wait around, the only people that will be hurt will be YOUR children. Or YOUR grandchildren. More detailed timelines will be provided soon.

Editor’s Note: Ms. Sandra Stroud is a fearless Champion of right and proper government in Cleveland County and the US. When Prayer at the beginning of School Board Meetings was the issue, Sandra Stroud stood up and voiced her strong support in front of 600+ citizens. When Shelby Schools refused to teach a deaf child, Sandra Stroud single-handedly made Shelby Schools mend their ways. When the Cleveland County Commissioners surrendered to a Federal Lawsuit against them by agreeing to a settlement that was Un-Constitutional; Sandra Stroud put her name and money behind a Federal Lawsuit and took the Cleveland County Commissioners to the US Federal Courts in Washington, DC and made the Commissioners mend their cowardly ways. When Sandra Stroud sends me her messages, I publish them. Word for Word. Sometimes satire, sometimes prose. When Sandra Stroud speaks, Robert A listens. When Sandra Stroud writes, Robert A publishes. If there is a typo, misspelling or unclear language, that is Robert A’s, mistake, not Sandra Stroud.
Folks, there are more citizens like Sandra Stroud and Robert A in Cleveland County that want bullying stopped in our schools and in our School Board and education improved. We want no more corruption like what was found out about the Catawba Casino, the bribed sale of our hospital for 2 cents on the dollar, endless sales tax increase referendums, endless property revaluations where Cleveland County has deployed drones to peep into our bedroom windows looking for whatever it is that they can use to raise property taxes over. And it goes on and on.
Stay tuned folks. If you want the truth, the whole truth and justified and logical speculation, you will get it here and perhaps not anywhere else in the same detail and depth of understanding. Also, folks, if you want to throw YOUR 2 cents into our knowledge base or just share your opinion, send it to Robert A. Your identity will be protected. It is completely understood that RETALIATION is alive and well in Cleveland County.
