Register For Fall Classes Early at One of Tyler’s Great Private Schools

April 30th, 2011

Another school year is wrapping up and on most of our minds is the hoopla surrounding graduation, summer vacation, higher electric bills due to cooling costs, etc. etc. But for most area students, the fall semester is just around the corner. I realize that for some, its sacrilege to bring that up now, but it will be here before we know it. For those of us who teach, the cycles of the school year are the unending patterns that govern our lives… but I digress. At least in private schools, every fall there’s a mad rush to recruit as many new students at the last minute as possible. This is especially true for jr. high and high schoolers, who are notorious for waiting to the last, minute to register. Elementary parents are typically far more conscientious about early registration. I can assure the reader, that your children’s school appreciates the fore thought.

Another great concern for area private educators is the tendency many families have to save money in tough financial times, by pulling their students out of private education and enrolling them in public schools. While I certainly understand the need to pare back on monthly expenses, as a parent there is very little I wouldn’t sacrifice to keep my son in a solid academic environment and out of the government schools! A solid education (particularly a religious one) is an investment in a child’s future, which will pay dividends in an ever- changing world. For families who find themselves in a tough financial bind, but who are committed to their children’s private academic excellence, I recommend looking at other (hopefully more inexpensive) options in our area this summer, before placing their students in public schools.

Tyler is blessed with just about every conceivable kind of private school, from pre-K to twelfth grade. In fact I can think of a couple small start-up schools that opened last semester and another is preparing to open in the fall! Schools are becoming more and more like churches in our town (not surprising I guess since many are actually housed in and operated by local congregations). In actuality, we don’t need any more of either here. We have some tremendous, churches and some great schools, Rather than opening new ones we need to participate in and support those we already have. Certainly we can all find a place with an approach and a philosophy with whom we can at least mostly agree!

We here at Tyler Directory have written about nearly all the private schools and educational models available in our area. To read about specific schools and or, their philosophies of education, look to the bottom right of this page, and click the education tab for a list of articles.

Maddox Air Conditioning

December 30th, 2009

Maddox air conditioning and heating has been serving east texas proudly since 1937. I’ve dealt with this family owned business before and found that not only did they have the expertise and professional know how that comes from a big name company but the customer service and southern manners that puts me at ease when I’m dealing with them. Maddox has reasonable prices and detailed professional advice to help anyone make the right choices for their home.

Although Maddox air conditioning and heating has been around for over 70 years, they service all the latest and greatest systems from Lennox, American Standard, Carrier and everything in between. Maddox has been constantly educating their employees to ensure that they are up to date on all systems and have recently added digital control systems to their list of expertise.

The thing that has impressed me most about Maddox is their customer service, with a 24 hour 365 day a year emergency care systems, Maddox will ensure that you are never left out in the cold. They are quick to respond, and will give you a detailed analysis of the problems with your systems and the best way to fix or upgrade your system. Instead of pressuring you to buy a brand new system they will work with you on whatever you decide.

Maddox covers both residential and commercial giving you the same quality care no matter the size of your project. With their main office on Bonner street downtown it is easy to find and allows them to respond to an emergency quickly.

When your electric bills start adding up larger than they were it might be time to call Maddox and see about updating your system to a better more proficient system. they will give you knowledgable advice on other energy saving methods such as new windows or better insulation. In addition to their services with cooling and heating systems they also do sheet metal fabrcation.
Their online systems are a little outdated but with easy to reach customer service it doesn’t cause that large of a problem, however, it would be nice to see helpful energy saving tips and the differences in certain heating and cooling systems without venturing outside of their professional suggestions.

Since Maddox has been working in east texas so long they know the stresses that the texas heat can have, not only on your systems but also on your wallet. Maddox’s trusted service will ensure that you are cared for and give you the peace of mind knowing that you are not overpaying for substandard service.
