Nashville is losing families to the suburbs because the schools in places like Franklin are simply "so much better."  And I want to know why?  And what is being done to remedy the situation?

My daughter has a great job in Nashville but she’s already planning to move to the suburbs because apparently you can’t work in Nashville, buy a home in Nashville AND raise a family in Nashville;  the school system is failing to provide the top-notch education that most people want for their children.

As a result, parents are commuting to work every day, stressed by the demands of a job in Nashville and raising children in the suburbs.

This is unacceptable.  

So my question is: what are the educators in the suburbs doing that the City of Nashville is not?

Success in life starts with a great education so let’s find ways to provide that for all children - not just the privileged few who can afford to move to a “ better school district.”

Daughter has a great job in Nashville but now that she is starting a family, everyone is telling her that she needs to move to the suburbs because “schools are better. “

So just like everyone else she’s going to be commuting to her job every day while her kids are in school. That means it’s super stressful and no one is happy. ( no wonder the roads are so busy!)

My question is: What are schools in the suburbs doing that they can’t do in the City of Nashville? And how do we fix this?

Ideally you work in Nashville, buy a home in Nashville, and raise your family in Nashville. And the schools – the local public schools – provide a top notch education that everyone expects.

I don’t think Nashville is unique in this situation but somebody has to say “enough already.” Why are school districts tied to zip codes? How do we ensure that all kids - no matter where they live — have access to great teachers and good schools.

ChatGPT seemed fun and easy to use -- maybe too easy -- and I found it was becoming a crutch. Then I learned about the environmental cost of these giant data centres. Just look at what's happening in Memphis TN! Noise. Pollution. Using up valuable land. Do you know how much water these techno- beasts use? I see from reports that xAI pays $0.19 per 100 gallons of water from the aquifer and regular Memphis customers pay $0.32. And the data centre currently uses 812,502 gallons PER DAY. And it's likely the data centre will EXPAND.
