I can attest to validty of your post Diane. As a
firm believer in the power of a free public school
system to empower youngsters to become productive
adults, I have to do what is best for my own children.
I have also been in a constant battle with the school
system since my twins were first enrolled in the
infant toddler program. It amazes me that teachers
feel that they are more knowledgable than doctors from
both Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, and Children's
Hospitals.
We cannot afford to move out of Prince George's County
because the school system is now responsible for my
daughters tuition and transportation to the Harbour
School in Annapolis. They have that responsibility
through June of 2011. The tuition in for the 2000
-- 2001 school year was $28,500.
We made the transfer her twin sister, who spent her
Freshman year at Bowie High School, to Elizabeth
Seton. She spent a year of bullying at Bowie -- the
school tried unsuccessfully to have the culprits
suspended, but they were overruled by the Board. Go
figure -- you lose an honor roll student -- for what.
