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.
