Gladness and Sadness Meet

I am so glad we switched LMNOB's school this year.

Because there is more drama. (The first link is the current hubub while the last is what happened last year) I got an anonymous e-mail today with a link to a new blog for the parents of the school. They've got a lot of work cut out for them.

Thank God we are not in the middle of it. SO. GLAD.

But then I'm sad.

Sad that somehow capitalism (Mosaica, one of America's fastest growing BUSINESSES in 2004 - read: they are in this for PROFIT, not the welfare of our children's future ) has tainted our public education system (through non school-district chartered schools, as opposed to charter schools under the umbrella of a local school district).

Sad that these kids' educational consistency may be at risk because of unethical and shady characters.

It's education, folks, not The [effin'] Apprentice!

  1. I'm sorry, that blows. :(

    Try not to get yourself too worked up over it. Won't solve anything except give you a head ache. :(

  2. Yeah, and we're not there anymore so they can "talk amongst themselves..." Do you remember that SNL skit? LOL

  3. Thanks for your comment on my blog! Glad you have worked out schools and day care for your children. I'm way past that point, but my daughter struggled with finding a good day care for my grandson. It's wonderful to pick him up now and notice they all call him by name - even the teachers of the other classes.
