| oh please
sorry folks, the student in question has enough resources to book a private hotel room for harp(s) alone...it is wonderful when resources and genetics combine to create an exceptional human being but the struggling single parent who manages to keep child away from drugs and encourages them to become a good caring asset to society deserves just as many accolades, if not more. As to the very American fashion of homeschooling, fine...but realize (if you are homeschooling only because you think it is 'best for your child' and not because the child has serious needs which can't be met in school) that as you extract those nice role models out of classrooms the students left behind are deprived of having a variety of classmates to imitate....leaving the teachers with only the most difficult students in the classroom. Which is okay, America is where the needs of the individual are paramount after all, but do not expect applause from those who try hard to support public schools. |
