Or NOT allowed it to happen. We can complain and criticize or we can remain involved. Praise for things well done is probably more effective than damning something done poorly. We do not feel shy about doing either. We are never too old to help our local school system.
I myself graduated in a class of almost 400 in a public school. My granddaughters class is almost three times that big.
As you can see, this is one of my passions. I have said enough. I care deeply about what happens to the young people in my realm and those that aren't.
I like young people, I can still speak their language and they seem to know mine as well. My teen grandchildren allow us to entertain their groups of friends three or four times a year. They have a diverse bunch of friends, all good eggs with a wonderful sense of humor, and all headed for success.
