Click on ''Power User Reports.'' It's tricky to figure out; take the time to play with it. The trick is to use the ''county'' tag - go to Fairfield and then Picktown.

Don't be cute

First I know how to work the ODE site. I have no idea what you are looking at on the site. My enrollment numbers come from the local press and the PLSD site. Are you trying to say that there are 1450 kids at Central and 2203 at North?

Next I am not sure what testing or statistical data you are looking at to compare the two schools. If these numbers come from ODE then give us a llnk. Since the numbers would have originated from the PLSD then our district office should have the data as well. You are losing your argument with me by trying to be cute.

State report card

The state's report card for schools comes out August 14. Does anyone know how Pickerington schools fared? I do. Here's a hint - ''Help keep our schools excellent'' won't be a slogan for the upcoming levy campaign.

Does anyone remember when the Curriculum Director resigned and the board decided to ''cut costs'' by not filling the position and giving the duties to the Human Resources Director? Maybe, in retrospect, that wasn't such a good idea.

Smoking weed

I think Mr. Wizard is blowing smoke. He thinks he knows something but can't tell us. I guess that makes him feel important. Ok ok we will wait for the demise of the school system I am glad this makes you happy. There is time for you to run for school board. Or are you going to wait until it gets real bad?
