HOT HOT HOT HUMID -
8/26/2010This year has been the worst in my 30+ years of living in Covington. The air is so thick with humidity you can't go outside after the very early morning. You feel the moisture press into your face like a thick blanket. Winters are way too cold for the South and Summers are like a jungle rain forest.

Ratio of teacher to student -
8/26/2010I worked in the Newton County School system for years and NEVER saw a ratio of 15 students per teacher. It was more like 25-30 per teacher. Horrible horrible overcrowding.

Horrible Place to Live! -
8/26/2010I moved here 30+ years ago and built a home in a very rural area. It WAS wonderful. The past 10 years have seen expansion of neighboring counties and the ubiquitous, methodical destruction of my surrounding area. Where it was quiet and peaceful, it is now filled with the noise pollution of ear splitting thumping sounds as cars go down the road. I was a teacher for Newton County Schools and watched the overcrowding of schools destroy the spirit of teachers who instead of teaching now needed a degree in Criminal Justice just to get through the day. Our road has seen the dumping of several bodies throughout the years, one neighbor was robbed 3 times. We have been robbed several. My grandson who was 9 minutes away now is a 1 hr drive away for his safety. Stay Away for Goodness sake!
