Covington said he would rather see students taking courses to improve their lives rather than courses just because they are offered. But what you know is the basis of your future. He sees more benefit to students taking a rhetoric course, where they can learn techniques for writing intelligently, than a course in science fiction where students simply read. Covington is also troubled that a Carson City school bond didn't pass in 1996. But there will not be five years from now.
Classes just keep getting bigger, it seems.
Growing classes is in line with a growing Carson City. I think people will continue to come here. It's a nice place to live. People tend to want to come here. He said programs like the Civil Air Patrol and Kiwanis' Key Club are ways for people to learn to be better people through community involvement, and these types of groups are also a draw to new residents.
