GO GROW GLOW Tony is a boy who has studied very hard for his spelling test in class the next day. But the following morning on the bus ride to school, the kids are rambunctious and noisy and become annoyed when Tony won't join in their antics. Worse, Tony is dejected when his best friend uses the opportunity to reveal to everyone a hurtful secret about Tony's family life. Upset and distracted, Tony understandably bombs on his test.

The incident occurred Tuesda  The attendance zone for McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Cobb County, has historically lacked apartment units. However, the superintendent of Cobb Schools, Chris Ragsdale, discussed changing demographics and the development of 550 apartment units in the area during a Cobb Board of Education work session. Ragsdale expressed concerns about the negative impact of apartments on schools, citing Osborne High School as an example. He mentioned threats to student and staff safety originating from neighboring apartments. Ragsdale acknowledged that the district does not expect zero apartment construction but emphasized the primarily negative impact on schools and graduation rates, particularly highlighting the issue of transiency. Education consultant James Wilson supported this argument, noting that students in permanent housing tend to have higher test scores compared to those in transient housing.          Story 3: arrested    A former student at Marietta High School was arrested on Thursday for possessing marijuana and a handgun on campus.

The former student was found in possession of marijuana and a handgun, leading to their arrest and charges by the police. In response to the incident, the school increased police presence on campus during dismissal for added student safety. Additional officers will remain on campus next week.
