Schools in TV?????????

Lone Traveller · 09-02-2008, 08:29 PM

Why are there schools in TV? I there are people working for TV THAT HAVE FAMILIES, can�t these children attend regular county schools. I hate to mention this by as an age group we�re certainly not popping them out like biscuits. I�m really looking forward to getting away from teenagers and rug rats. I know a lot of you have grandchildren, but that�s different, they come and go.

Allow me to relieve your mind. It is a charter school. You don't have grandchildren?

So where would you like these kids that live in Oxford, Dallas, Pedro and the like go to school? They come from a district of which the Villages is part of.
Plus it's a great place to do mentoring if your a former teacher, athlete, musician,et al.

I wouldn't think you'd have any contact with the kids in the Village's schools unless you lived right by the schools. The kids don't live in the Villages.

Personally, I like to see kids once in awhile.

The only place I can think to live where there are no children has bars around your living space. I chose The Villages and the Villages Charter School.

Me too. I keep hearing from some seniors how awful kids are nowadays. That is NOT my experience at all.

LongTravel, you are right. TV is a place for ADULTS, if I want to be around children, teenagers, and all that noise; I will remain where I am. Why is it that always someone try to dictate their ways on others. When people move to TV is because they want what they see and they dont want it changed.

Not to worry. There are no children in TV. I still like them though, and I always will.

Just because they live in the area doesn't mean they get to go to the school.....

Someone please find the other threads!!

They are children of the employees that work FOR TV's....work for contractors of TV's or for the stores within TV's area....

Hard to get just any kid in there!!! Wish mine was there!!!!

It's not that I hate childdren; if cooked properly I find them tasty. There is even a wild rumor flying around I was one once. There's not much sense in me moving into TV if I'm still going to have to daily face teenagers who think it s fun to knock me down and steal my groceries. I can stay right where I am for that.

You're probably right, Lone Traveller, you wouldn't be happy in The Villages and you're better off where you are. If you're looking for an area that bans children and teenagers, you're barking up the wrong tree. They may cross you're path if you live in The Villages.

I understand that some people have had bad experiences with teenagers and they want to live in a place where they don't want to have to put up with the disrespect and the noise, but, honestly, I never see those kinds of kids around TV. I see a lot of grandkids and the wait staffs at our restaurants, but I don't see teenagers speeding down the streets or knocking down elderly people. If you want to live in a bubble that doesn't have schoolchildren in or around it, I'm sorry, but it doesn't exist. Where do you think we get all of the people who work in the many stores and restaurants we frequent? Personally, as a high school teacher for 35 years, I am going to miss seeing kids. There are an awful lot of good ones out there.

i think it may be hard for non villagers to realize that with the charter high school located on the outer boundary of the villages that we residents rarely see large groups of teenagers unless we visit the school to watch sports events or happen to be at the villages public library when school has just gotten out.
as with so many aspects of villages life it has to be experienced first hand to really be understood.
i would never tell anyone they wouldn't be happy living in tv just because they prefer not to live where unsupervised large groups of teenagers are an issue. that's really not the case here in tv.

I guess I was stunned, Cassie, to find out some people want no contact with children. My very elderly mother has such a great relationship with her grandchildren that it's difficult for me to fathom such intense dislike of our future generations. Of course, there are trouble makers occasionally. But there are also adult trouble makers that could move in next door. :

Schools in TV?????????
