Some states have grants for charter schools, including religious ones. If they don't extend this courtesy to other Christian schools, then, yes, it is Not A Good Thing (tm).
They'll get their butts kicked in academics by the Asian-American School.
Around here, black parents have been trying for years to get their kids into suburban schools with winning programs (Pickerington Girls hoops in the '90s for example).
It's a happenin' place, according to the calendar at the website. Jesse Jacka** spoke to the assembled masses on Dec. 4, "winter recess" started today and tomorrow, best of all, is the Third Annual Kwanzaa Karamu (Feast). Calling employees nation builders is interesting, but what I like is that the PTA is called "village council" - reminds me of the TV show "Survivor" somehow.
The girls' and boys' basketball teams seem to be doing well lately, anyway. The scores I saw in yesterday's and today's papers indicated very lopsided victories by the Nubians.
Columbus Public Schools are a joke.
My folks took me out of CPS after 1st grade and put my sister and I in Catholic schools, where I stayed through high school. Thank God I ended up there.
The stupid voters in Columbus continually vote for school levies when the school district continues to sock it to the taxpayers of this city. They passed one in 2002. They passed another one this year. What happens after it passes? It is revealed that there was a $13 million deficit in one of the teacher funds.
I have never voted for a levy for the Columbus Public Schools and I never will!
More balkinization.
