Likely all of them, which is the point.

I don’t begrudge people wanting a good public education for their kids but this seems to be the epitome of a “frick you, got mine” mentality because they are mad at everyone in St George who wants a good education because it would wreck their own good thing.

But I can understand where they are coming from.

Like everyone else they pay their taxes, they have families to raise, and they are fortunate their kids qualify for the magnet programs and have been able to get in a magnet program.

They see chaos all around them, they see government failing all around them, and they see their situation and they don't want it to change.

I can't tell them they are wrong, that they need to look at the good of the whole. Especially not when we all know that you can't count on government.

Shenandoah Elem.


Years ago we lived three plus blocks from Shenandoah Elementary.

Mike kids walked or rode their bikes to school back then. It was truly a neighborhood school. It was a very positive experience for us, and my wish is that our situation would become the norm, people would send their kids to a neighborhood elementary, the community would bond around the neighborhood elementary and everyone would profit.

Those were the good ole days.
