And now for a useful post from Robby O - A FIRST School

[Carolyn Duncan]

The public school I went to in high school was in a very rich area, many of the students lived in the gated, golf coarse communities and the school is going into its 5th year of operation. The remainig large portion was comprised of the kids in the poor section of town. When graduation came around and seniors were scrambling to secure scholarships somethings happened that should never happen. Students who applied for the school's need based scholarship were bumped because a faculty member's son had applied. He gat the scholarship because his mother worked at the school. I'm not knocking the entire public school system, just my experience in it. I realize that the world is a vicious circle, I live in it too. But from my experience, public school hadn't been all that great.
C~ya,
