As an Alumni Class of 91, and a parent now, I realize what a gift a good high school is. A resident of Florida i see my child and all children here at a handicap. The schools here do not only fail to educate, they fail to prepare. I see 16 year old children that can't sign their name. Schools here dont teach cursive. I recently tutored a sophmore here who had no idea how to even begin to study for a test. These children have no textbooks or access to material taught in class. I helped him get a Bin a class he was failing with the use of Wikipedia. For 2 weeks we went over the practice exam he was given to study. The night before his exam his teacher texted all her students the answers to the review at 6 p.m. Her advice was stay up late and make sure you go over these answers 100 times. I consider this being set up for failure. So looking back I am blessed to come from a school willing to teach and prepare young adults. Don't take it for granted that all schools are equal. Be grateful to be a PATRIOT!!!!!!!!
