It was announced today that 130-year old Ursuline in Santa Rosa is closing due to lack of funding. My daughter is in second grade- and I was most certainly NOT going to send her to the local public high school! I WAS going to send her to Ursuline. Every day her elementary school sends home fund-raising information- let's sell wrapping paper, chocolates, and have a walk-a-thon so that we can buy copy paper! Not so much fun when the classroom gets broken into and the teacher's laptop is stolen. Where will the money come from to replace that?? I think I'm opting for home-schooling, or maybe a co-op. Know any good ones?
Perhaps our new gover-nator will deem it socially acceptable to provide funding to childhood education, instead of directing funds to criminals. Let's raise responsible, contributing members of society, so that they won't go to jail in the first place! But wait, they'll be too busy fundraising for their children's schools!
