Greetings, again, I agree with Mr Schmid that there are alternatives to funding. No doubt the Federal Government could handle this with no problems.
I do take issue with the glorification of athletes and the derision of the intellectual. My 10 year old is not much different than most. He is middle of the road in math, and english, but is accelerated in reading. Is he being encouraged to read better! YES! Is he reading at a higher level than many other kids? YES! He also has been identified as a child with leadership potential. He has been asked by his teachers to help other kids with their work and to be a leader. Is that wrong? As to the private school being a safer haven than the public schools. Let me relate to you the story told to me by a parent of a Catholic grade school student who was beaten up, rather severely, by other students. Private school is no safer. They just have the option to kick you kid out - the public schools do not. _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
