    Chris- Have you considered presenting this information at a Klein ISD school board meeting? They always welcome hearing from community members, and this should be brought to their attention. Good luck.

    Press Release from Klein ISD re: Marching Band Competition As a result of their superior ratings at the UIL Region IX Marching Band Competition on October 24, all four KISD high school marching bands advanced to the Area F contest held October 28 at Galena Park ISD stadium. Congratulations to each Klein ISD band for reflecting the district's commitment to excellence. At the area contest, the 27 bands that had advanced from the four regions of Area F competed for the opportunity to advance to the state contest. After the first level of area competition, ten bands, including Klein High School and Klein Forest High School, advanced to the second level of area competition. Klein High School earned the opportunity to advance to the state level. The top five bands from the Area F competition will participate in the state marching contest to be held November 7 in San Antonio at the Alamo Dome. The other schools from Area F that will participate at the state level are The Woodlands, Spring, Brazoswood and Clear Brook high schools.

    Chris- Are you a student at Collins? In particular, a band student at Klein Collins?

    There's a staircase in the library? Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience there. Middle school can be really rough on some kids.

    You know, Pure, I really think you might be happier if you moved to San Marcos, because I can foresee Fleming's biting the dust before the Woodlands Mall ever does. Plus, I hear there no "posers", or "riff-raff" or "annoying loiterers who stare at their cell phones in public" anywhere in San Marcos.

    Sorry if you feel like I "jumped" on your post. I was taking a break and just pulled up that post, and couldn't believe the stuff I was reading. So, yeah, I responded, maybe a little too quickly, huh? The Woodlands is a huge money-making machine, make no mistake. All the nice things there are meant to entice one to either move there or come spend your money there or both. The residents who have chosen to move there are what makes the difference, in my opinion. For instance, the Woodlands schools are very nice buildings, but the teachers and administrators and coaches that are hired to work in those schools are what makes those schools great, not the buildings, not the landscaping. The Woodlands has a host of community-minded individuals who do put the greater good ahead of profit-making schemes and these people have helped to transform the Woodlands into what it is. The homes and gardens of the Woodlands are all very nice, but it's the people there that make up the community that make the difference. For example, The Woodlands G.R.E.E.N. organization is a fantastic ecologically-minded group that has created a great awareness and appreciation of the nature the Woodlands has to offer. There are plenty of other groups like this, set up by individuals to serve the greater good. Would I sway you to move to San Marcos or some other little college town rather than move to The Woodlands? No, you just recognize things for what they are, and find the good, there's plenty of it in The Woodlands, just as there is in San Marcos. If you lived in San Marcos, I'm sure you'd have a different perspective of it than what you do know. Everywhere has problems, no place is perfect. Even in your wishful thinking of the "good old days", there was plenty of problems back then, too. I don't know if there ever was an "ideal town" anywhere, and I'm not sure I'd want to live there in Pleasantville anyway, would you?

    Live Feeds from the Law Enforcement in The Woodlands! Maybe monitoring the police scanner network LIVE! from The Woodlands will make you feel a wee bit safer. Golly, how would "THEY" do this? And WHY would anyone want to? Your terminology of "demographically consistent" is code-speak for classism, and that's just wrong. Were you really seriously embarassed by anonymous strangers shopping at a mall? Why do you even care? Why are you paying so much attention to the teens at the mall, anyway? Sounds a little bit creepy there. According to your research, only 50% of the shoppers at the mall were from The Woodlands? Why does this matter to you? You do realize that just as Katie chooses to go to The Galleria to shop, there are people from areas other than The Woodlands that choose to shop at The Woodlands Mall. But, you go on to say, there are no teen "posers" at Market Street. Does this mean you bought more items at Market Street because of this? Did you buy less at The Woodlands Mall because there were "posers" there? I'm sure you'll be sad to learn that the General Manager over at Market Street was "let go" recently. He was the one who sought to discourage teens from being in Market Street after a certain time, and tried to limit children from playing in the "Central Park" area between Tommy Bahama's and Jasper's. Please tell me that you understand that the Woodlands Mall and Town Center development was not built specifically to service only the needs and desires of the Woodlands-only residents. The whole concept was never to build a little "town center" where only locals congregate and shop. The rents are sky-high at these places; they are meant to draw from a very broad, diverse area. It's made to look attractive to you, so it "attracts" you. The Woodlands Mall and Market Street exist SOLELY to make money, not to just make locals feel better about there. That's just a nice by-product, but not its' sole function. And, this is what made me burst out laughing. Yeah, that will happen, tear down the biggest money-maker out there. Right... Then, just STOP!

    Las Cazuelas on Wayside is now Mucho Mexico Los Molcajetes. It has really good seafood like oysters and octupus and ceviche. I remember years ago we used to go to Las Cazuelas after the bars closed, and it was just a great lively place to be. They used to run a bus service out of the parking lot whereby local immigrants could pay a small fee to go back across the border on the weekends. They never lacked for customers.

    Thanks, Chris, but I was really responding to Puma... I think the KISD school board is doing a great job with the situation at Hildebrandt this year, too. I look forward to Krimmel opening next year and losing almost half the current population at Hildebrandt. I'm sure the kids rezoned there will be thrilled to be getting a bright and shiny new school, and we'll be happy to see the hallways cleared out a little more in our perfectly fine school, thanks.

    What the heck are you trying to say here? Are you actually trying to say that the members of the Klein ISD school board in 1973 should have had Hildebrandt built even larger than they did, in order to accomodate temporary overcrowding in 2006?
  14. pineda
    The buildings ARE temporary. They've only been there two years, while Krimmel was being built. So the statement "They should have never let it get that bad" really doesn't make much sense.

    Okay, once more, it's wasn't "forest land", it was a pasture, just to clarify things. Also, the land that eventually became Northampton is under the auspices of the Northampton MUD. The land you are referring to is under the auspices of Bridgestone MUD, two different entities, with different goals.

    Just to set the record straight: Hildebrandt is not in disrepair. Granted, it's not Klein Collins or College Park High School in the Woodlands, but it's perfectly fine the way it is. There really is no need to radically change or upgrade anything about the building itself. The most important part of any school is really not the building, it's the teachers. Hildebrandt has really good teachers and administrators, and the kids seem to be pretty happy there, despite the fact that "It's in the middle of nowhere like were a bunch of cows and open land is."
