COMMENTARY               |               Tallassee,               a               small               town               in               central               Alabama               where               I               live,               proudly               boasts               a               lake;               a               dam;               a               river               with               rapids;               two               state               of               the               art               plants,               GKN               and               Neptune               Technologies;               an               excellent               work               force;               and               our               own               school               system               with               three               schools:               Tallassee               Elementary,               for               grades               K-4;               Southside               Middle               School,               for               grades               5-8;               and               Tallassee               High               School,               for               grades               9-12.

Our               teachers               are               respected               (although               with               budget               cuts               and               dealing               with               parents,               including               me,               from               time               to               time,               they               may               not               always               feel               that               way)               and               hold               a               special               place               in               our               community.

Unfortunately,               Teacher               Appreciation               Week,               a               week               set               aside               from               May               2-6               for               all               of               us               to               provide               some               extra               TLC               to               teachers,               has               been               lost               in               the               furor               after               last               week's               tornadoes.

As               a               parent               of               a               3rd               grader               in               our               local               city               schools,               I               thought               this               would               be               a               good               week               to               examine               three               of               the               main               challenges               facing               our               teachers               and               the               schools.
               Dr.

Jeffers,               the               superintendent               of               the               Tallassee               City               School               system,               believes               that               the               biggest               challenge               facing               teachers               today               is               the               sheer               breadth               of               the               duties               the               teachers               have               to               assume,               according               to               an               interview               Jeffers               I               conducted               Tuesday.

In               addition               to               simply               teaching,               teachers               have               been               forced               to               undertake               more               of               a               caretaker/parenting               role               for               some               of               their               students               than               they               did               formerly.

These               caretaker               duties               task               both               the               time               and               energy               of               the               teacher,               as               well               as               the               school               system's               funds.

I               have               heard               stories               from               my               daughter               of               some               of               the               things               her               teacher               helps               the               other               students               deal               with               and               have               wondered               how               her               teacher               is               able               to               handle               it               and               still               teach.
               Funding               is               another               major               issue.

In               Alabama,               a               large               portion               of               school               funding               comes               through               the               state.

Our               constitution               forbids               the               state               to               run               a               deficit.

When               the               state's               revenues               are               less               than               projected,               the               state               implements               an               across               the               board               cut               on               all               ongoing               expenditures.

This               is               called               "proration."               This               year,               an               "additional"               across               the               board               3               percent               cut               was               declared               --               and               that               was               before               the               tornadoes               April               27               (The               Wetumpka               Herald).

Proration,               as               you               can               imagine,               creates               chaos               in               the               local               school               systems,               just               as               you               would               be               thrown               into               financial               disarray               if               your               employer               suddenly               announced               that               you               would               not               be               receiving               your               next               two               paychecks.
               Another               fiscal               challenge               our               local               schools               face               is               what               Dr.

Jeffers               explained               as               the               "equity"               issue.

By               law,               counties               are               required               to               impose               at               least               a               $10               million               property               tax               in               order               to               pay               their               portion               of               school               expenses.

Each               of               the               two               counties               in               which               the               Tallassee               City               Schools               lie               impose               the               property               tax,               and               the               city               imposes               an               additional               $3               million               tax               for               the               local               schools.

Other               school               systems               with               more               affluent               tax               bases               have               additional               revenues               available               to               them,               creating               a               huge               disparity               between               the               funds               available               for               schools               in               particular               areas.
               A               final               issue               unique               to               Alabama               stems               from               the               tornadoes.

Last               week's               tornadoes               damaged               over               18               schools               in               our               state,               and               at               least               five               of               those               (two               in               Hackleburg               and               three               in               Tuscaloosa)               were               completely               destroyed               (The               Montgomery               Advertiser).

While               I               am               sure               everyone               in               Alabama               will               do               everything               they               can               to               help               those               schools               rebuild               (even               our               small               elementary               school               is               collecting               donated               school               supplies               for               the               students               and               teachers               in               the               damaged               schools),               with               money               already               in               short               supply,               those               communities               face               immense               challenges.
               This               week,               take               a               minute               to               reflect               on               the               teachers               in               your               community               and               the               challenges               they               face.

Then               do               something               that               lets               them               know               you               really               do               appreciate               everything               they               do.

    The               biggest               city               in               the               South               may               not               be               known               nationwide               for               the               BBQ               it               serves,               but               Atlanta               offers               many               locally               and               regionally               known               joints,               as               I               like               to               call               them,               that               satisfy               BBQ               fanatics               inside               and               outside               the               perimeter.

    What               I               find               when               I               venture               across               Atlanta               and               look               at               BBQ               are               fairly               inexpensive,               but               consistently               good               BBQ               pork,               beef,               chicken               and               ribs.

    Many               are               locally               owned               or               small               chains               that               offer               good               service               and               a               great               choice               of               BBQ.

    By               having               locations               in               Cobb               County,               Douglasville,and               Canton,               there               is               a               Williamson               Bros.

    BBQ               somewhere               near               you.

    This               is               BBQ               southern               styled.

    Two               brothers               from               Alabama               who               make               some               mean               sauces.

    The               service               is               great,               and               the               setting               makes               you               feel               like               you               are               sitting               in               an               old               Southern               house.

    Williamson               Bros'               menu               has               sandwiches               and               platters               galore.

    Try               the               ribs               or               the               pork,               you               can               add               2               sides               and               you               will               leave               full.

    The               Brunswick               stew               is               excellent,               and               if               you               like               yummy               okra               this               is               the               place               for               you.

    You               can               take               pounds               of               BBQ               home               for               your               Summer               or               Super               Bowl               parties,               and               don't               forget               the               homemade               pies.

    Williamson               Bros.

    has               a               children's               menu               for               the               little               ones               and               it's               open               daily.
                   Another               BBQ               with               a               Alabama               twist               is               of               course               Dreamland               BBQ.

    Straight               out               of               Tuscaloosa,               AL.

    if               you               live               on               the               Northside,               there               is               a               Dreamland               in               Roswell               and               in               Peachtree               Corners.

    I               frequent               the               Roswell               location,               right               on               Roswell               Road.

    Dreamland's               motto               is               "Ain't               nothing               like               'em               nowhere",               and               I               have               to               agree.

    Dreamland               has               been               serving               up               ribs               and               BBQ               for               over               50               years,               so               they               know               what               they               are               doing.

    The               setting               is               casual,               and               the               homemade               banana               pudding               for               dessert               is               a               must               have.

    But               don't               forget               about               the               BBQ               thinking               of               that               pudding.

    I               love               the               sausage,               and               the               ribs               fall               off               the               bone.

    The               drinks               are               cold,               and               all               the               side               dishes               are               fresh.

    Oh,               and               did               I               mention               the               banana               pudding?
                   No               talk               of               BBQ               in               Atlanta               is               complete               unless               you               mention               Fat               Matt's               Rib               Shack.

    I               don't               know               if               it's               the               food,               the               experienced               staff,               or               the               live               blues               that               is               played               nightly,               but               I               love               this               place.

    Of               course               the               food               is               important.

    The               chopped               pork               is               the               sandwich               of               choice.

    For               chicken,               you               can               order               a               1/2               or               1/4               bird.

    if               you               can               eat               a               full               slab               of               ribs,               you               are               better               than               me.

    The               atmosphere               is               casual,               and               you               may               have               a               wait               a               few               minutes,               but               it's               worth               the               wait.

    Pick               up               a               souvenir               t-shirt               on               your               way               out.

    You'll               want               to               remember               this               BBQ               experience.

    Fat               Matt's               is               open               until               11:30               Sun-Thur               and               until               12:30               Fri               and               Sat.
                   Right               near               the               campus               of               Georgia               Tech,               you'll               find               a               family               owned               little               BBQ               establishment               that               is               as               good               as               it               gets.

    Ribs               N               Blues               BBQ               is               known               for               its               ribs               and               its               pork               and               chicken.

    The               menu               includes               ribs               and               combo               meals.

    The               sides               are               tasty,               especially               the               "rum"               baked               beans.

    it's               nothing               fancy,               but               the               restaurant               is               bright               and               clean               on               the               inside.

    There               are               TV's               to               watch               the               big               games,               and               cold               beer               for               sale               as               well.

    Ribs               N               blues               is               open               Mon-Sat               until               9               each               night.

    Give               it               a               try.
                   Those               are               four               of               my               favorites.

    There               are               plenty               more               to               try               as               well.

    While               many               fans               of               Southern               BBQ               may               not               think               of               Atlanta               as               a               BBQ               hotbed,               I               think               of               it               as               "BBQ               Hog               Heaven"
