PERSONAL RELIEF BUT ....

TODAY, I SHARE A POST I MADE ON FACEBOOK ON AUGUST 19th:

Today, I am greatly relieved. My daughter was rehired by the School District of Philadelphia. Also, in this coming school year, she will be moving to her desired position of a string music specialist. I love her and wish her well for an exciting and rewarding school year! But, I also have to share my disdain and disgust with the school district, city government, and state government. The stress and unknown has taken a significant toll - not only on my daughter - but on the thousands who were laid off, the thousands of students and parents not knowing whether school would open and what kind of education they would receive, and the millions of Philadelphians who will suffer great cultural and economic strife if the public schools go down the drain. THE SCHOOLS AND THE EDUCATION OF OUR YOUTH ARE NOT POLITICAL FOOTBALLS. The sooner we as a nation understand the importance of education FOR ALL and how it affects us ALL, the more belief and confidence in the American Dream will result.
