Slow and steady - 8/14/2008
Although most teachers work with the students and try to keep all students on the same level, this may litit your childs education. Many times there are somewhat "slower" kids in the class and they ask the teacher to go over things that have already been taught. Racism runs rampant through the school system as well. Durring lunch the people of color are segregated or segregate

Buckeye - 8/14/2008
Honestly Buckeye is the only kind of industry in perry. When it rains or even a heavy fog in the morning then it smells terrible because of buckeye. Anywhere near the place and it smells terrible. Doesnt seem to matter how far away yolu are from the place some times you just can't escape the smell. That is one thing I most certainly do not

Growing up in Perry - 5/6/2008
I was born in Perry and spent about 12 years as a child there. Now I am talking about the 80s. Back then Perry looked very different, and had a small town feeling. My family went to New Home Baptist Church(now it has a different pastor), everyone was so friendly and always willing to lend a helping hand. The town was not as big back then, and everyone knew everyone else.
Most of my family still lives there and from what I hear from them, they still enjoy living there. My sister works at Buckeye, my brother at the prison and my dad is retired now, he worked at the rock mine. My grandparents have lived there I think about 45 years and still love it. I have to travel about five hours to go and visit and when I do, I run into people who remember me, and they say hello, like no time has past at all. Perry to me, has gone a little down hill, and because of it's low cost of living has attracted alot of low self-esteem, and racist kind of people. All in all Perry will always be my
