Taking the fact that many companies are moving to Tennessee from other states and even companies from Japan {which has a very high standard for education} are locating here. Yes they move here instead of Texas at times LOL. Somehow what you are saying simply does not add up to reality. Now then if your company has a test that persons can not understand then I would hold the test as being suspect. The more you talk the less I believe. You should check out the number of companies that have moved TO Eastern TN as opposed to how many have moved OUT. For you to infer that companies are flocking to Eastern TN is simply outrageous. You obviously have not been to Bristol in quite some time. 90% of the businesses here have moved OUT and the commercial real estate is all failing in disrepair. You cannot drive through Bristol without seeing it. Believe me, I *wish* Eastern TN wasn't the hellhole it is. I wouldn't have to be moving my business and my home out of here. I would be able to *find* employable people. I wouldn't *have* to homeschool my children. I wouldn't *have* to drive to another state simply to buy groceries. I wouldn't *have* to do my shopping over the internet for items not carried at the WalMart or drive out of state. I wouldn't *have* to carry my own herbs in my purse if I chose to go out to eat because, believe it or not food doesn't have to taste like water. Your quote above is as far as I read. You obviously want to believe you live in a great state with great education. Far be it from me to enlighten you to the truth. Ignorance is bliss; or so I hear. This state is probably the happiest state in the Union.
