Trust me...I am living proof of this one. <BR/><BR/>And, I still stand by my "wasn't meant to be" comment. I believe that.<BR/><BR/>I'll clarify my thinking in another post.

What a load of crap. All you have to do is keep trying and try more and try harder and you can get whatever it is that you want .... I am a big believer in relying on faith only after you have EXHAUSTED all of the works .... just keep trying ... apply to 10 charter schools next year, call your principal out on her failure to follow through on promises, and take your kids teachers by the horns and make sure that they understand what you expect from them. Be proactive! Passive sucks ... all you end up with is the left over crap in life.Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165531075179603951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748368674215581724.post-67668515481654646552008-09-12T09:26:00.000-06:002008-09-12T09:26:00.000-06:00I am sorry Larissa.

Ouch, ..."A future that was never going to happen". Ouch, that hurts. I totally don't blame you for your rant. Public education is never easy. But really, honestly, truly, there has to be some reason for your kids to stay where they are. Maybe they need that one sure thing, or maybe there is a friend yet to come, or a teacher that will make all the difference. Or maybe they are the ones that will make the difference to someone. We all know things like this aren't easy, but know that it is the way it should be. Hang in there. Love ya! <BR/><BR/>Was that preachy or bitchy? If it was, it wasn't meant to be. I'm usually only that way in person, not on blogs.Kelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01039953991168530136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748368674215581724.post-70898645513708986122008-09-11T15:25:00.000-06:002008-09-11T15:25:00.000-06:00Guees What?

I was thinking about that future of yours that is never going to happen the other day. I am sorry about that. Just think there could be a future better than that out there. You deserve it Larrissa.
