My children should be at Moody, but we left at the end of last year because the overcrowding affected my oldest to the point where he was in trouble both academically and behaviorally every single day. Our family couldn't take it anymore and so we moved to private school.<br /><br /><br />My personal JAMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844475919675784308.post-18748186225137713912010-04-08T13:33:40.483-04:002010-04-08T13:33:40.483-04:00Foreign language program?

Your only quotes were from people in the North End or supporting the plan. A very skewed article if you ask me. I would like to point out that while the BOE keeps telling us this was done for 2 reasons, the reality is that it was not.

You can have an effect on your child's education by pressuring for answers and action. You can be courteous while asking those pesky questions. But try to offer solutions and suggestions, too.

So much for uniting the masses!<br /><br />I'm afraid that this redistricting plan is simply an illusion of educational equity for Middletown's schools.
