Good for her to be there, that is for sure.

We have a few private schools up here that are quite good as well... a lot better than some of the public schools have been. Mind, not all public schools are bad..it is just that there is a tendency to have a fair amount of mediocracy around.....

I graduated BARELY. It's not that I couldn't do the stuff, I just wasn't interested (I'd never have graduated with all these crazy gizmos they have now )

I bummed though, I hate to see something like that

I actually did not finish high school myself...I was not a very good student at all in my younger years.

What I did do though was after I spent 15 years working in the textile industry and getting stoned, getting into, and out of bands and such I went to University as a Mature (Aherm) Student...Full time no less...stupid stupid stupid... . I did manage to get my BA however then got into Healthcare via looking after my wife who was going through a major illness..that got me into doing PSW (Personal Support Worker)...I am so glad I found my niche...

it's not a private school though, it's a charter school and one of the biggest differences the teachers are NOT in a union.

BTW, I should have done better in high school but often didn't do my homework so I would had to go to a prep school for a year because I ddin't get accepted at my choice of schools (Maine Maritime Academy). I joined the army instead, they put me and a few others through a bunch of tests (3 days worth) and at the end those few of us left got offered 1 year OCS (officer candidate school) and then 4 years at West Point. The fly in the ointment was I would have had to sign up for 10 years and I foolishly decided not to go to West Point

BTW I later earned an AA in mental health with my focus on substance abuse

eggs in a box might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but the forests are still growing, and the little spirits have their campfires

I'm bushededed...we got the tree that fell across our driveway finally cut down to manageable bits....several dozen linear feet of poplar is now sitting in the barn getting dried....

OK..its off to the emerg i go...having chest pains again....

I hope all goes well and you recover quickly.

Same here.
