EEEEEYIIIP!!! SOROR BLU THEATRICS
I agree so much with Pretty Squeaky. I always thought that I would send my children to private school but now that they are school age I simply cannot afford it. As I think about it now, I thought that I would put them in private school by the time they reached middle school but that time is fast approaching and I still can't afford it!!
Most of all I am teaching in the public school system and I realize that parents need to voice their concerns in the organizations that represent them like the PTA. True some things cannot be changed but I have heard of the same things (violence, etc.) that are happening in public schools happening in private schools as well. I even know of a Catholic school 6th grader who was gunned down a few years ago because he was running with the crowd towards a fight after school and he was shot as an innocent bystander. What I am saying is that even though we want the best for our children we can't protect them all their lives. The world is a cruel place and I feel that I have made the best decision to have my children remain in public school so they are well rounded when they are grown and in the real world. Not only that, what morals they need to know I AM THE BEST TEACHER!
Additionally, I attended public schools K-12 and I think I turned out pretty good!!
