Kids, It’s VIRTUALLY Possible
Remember back-in-the-day, when ya wanted to take a specific subject in high school, but the registration was closed because its quota was met? Or, if you were sick or injured and couldn’t get to school, how ya worried about having all the creds needed for graduation?
Well, here in the 21st Century, kids all over the state have the opportunity to get the classes they want, and keep their school/homework current so they can get the credentials needed to earn their sheepskin!
It’s through a program called North Carolina Virtual School, and all ya gotta do to check it out is click the link above! Now, enrollment is already closed for the upcoming semester (this according to my sources at Sabre City [ie, South Meck High ... where else?]), but if ya call 1-919-513-8550, they can give ya more info on the next program.
Y’know, with everyone knockin’ pro wrestling over the past weeks (due to the Chris Benoit story), it appears that sports-entertainment is being forced to return to the days when it was family-oriented and drug-free.
That being said, we need to remember that Charlotte’s own, original Mid-Atlantic Wrestling advocated just that: clean, family-oriented sports-entertainment without steroids and illegal drugs. Jim Crockett, Sr. (and, later on, sons Jim, David and Jackie) was determined to keep the shows decent and his wrestling stable healthy — and that was the rule until Ted Turner bought it out and made it part of his big WCW franchise.
Today, only a handful of “indie” or non-WWE-related wrestling orgs actually provide the same clean, family code that the original did. But it’s good to know the Crockett family — and the wrestling roster they put together –showed the world that you don’t have to be flashy or trashy to make you a superstar. Just make it good, make it comfortable for every age group to watch, and it’ll grow …
And to think it started in Charlotte, in a small building on Briabend Drive!
