With a new school year here my fears of am I doing the right thing when it comes to my girl’s education creep up. Education is very important in my house hold and getting them the best education is my aim at this time. All else will fall to the waste side as I continue to way out the best options. My oldest is in a great Middle School and is doing very well I was happy to see that she was in Honors Math. I am excited to meet the new teachers to feel them out and see if they are committed to educating these young people. My youngest is starting Kindergarten and I am still debating with myself in regards to did I make the right decision. I still have some options and I will be filling out the applications for two local charter schools for next year just in case I am not happy with how all goes this year. Look out PTA because I will be back on board this year.
My favorite columnist LZ Granderson is back and he is feeling the same way that I am. It is time to invest more money and time into educating our children. It seems that this country is lagging behind when it comes to education, defiantly in the subjects of math, science and technology. What is crazy to me is that these are the areas that will help put this country back on track with jobs. We are putting are children and that of the future economy by not putting the proper amount of funds into educating are children. “Yet our education system continues to slip in the world ranking, and I don't see a Teachers-of-the Year Dream Team or a Super Committee made of top business leaders to help address this very real crisis.1 (Granderson, LZ)” It is time as parents to step up and fight hard for the future of are children by getting them the best education possible.
