This irks me to no end! What in the dickens does APS do with the millions and millions of dollars it has received in the years past? APS is so dysfunctional and the residents foot the bill. I have called APS in the past a ‘rat hole’ The taxpayers have poured millions down that big rat hole. What will APS do with the current funding? Today the weather in Albuquerque will cool off today with a high around 78 according to the Weather Channel. Many children and teachers have been suffering with the high heat we have been having, in the 90’s, without air-conditioning at some APS schools! Can you imagine wearing a mask in the heat with no A/C????? What a learning environment! APS has more problems that ‘carter has liver pills’. I have said for years it needs to be split up. More oversight! It is a kingdom of its own. Corruption has been a problem and continues to be with the latest scandal APS fires former Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton and horrific crime of the killing of a 13-year-old boy by another 13-year-old. Washington Middle School students share what they saw during the shooting
I encourage folks to get their children into a Christian School or better yet, home schooling. Parents need to take responsibility to make sure their children get solid schooling and that their children are safe as can be. In some cases Dad may have to take two jobs, but we need to do all we can for our children. Years ago when we saw APS imploding we pulled our youngest out of APS and put him in a good charter school. Now I recommend if at all possible home schooling or a Christian school. With the way American education is going it is a must for our children, their future and that of our Country. Please do not count on a very, very secular, ungodly government to educate your child. Homeschooling provides positive and appropriate socialization with peers and adults. Homeschooled children are largely free from peer pressure. … Each child’s education can be tailored to his or her unique interests, pace, and learning style. Homeschooling children have time to pursue their special interests and talents. Homeschooling continues to grow
I am sure some communities are well served by their public schools, like those in my hometown of Windom, Minnesota. Communities that have good, solid local control. Here in New Mexico the governor fired the school board in Floyd, New Mexico! How criminal is that! My hope for our children is in rural America, where people stand very strong for God. Floyd, New Mexico and other communities will not stand for actions like the governor has done. The problem here in New Mexico the state goes the way of liberal Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
I need to add there are plenty of awesome Christian schools here in New Mexico, for sure! Stand strong Mom and Dad for your children! Don’t let the government become your child’s babysitter! Make sure they are getting a solid education based on Biblical principles. I know of children that are flourishing for the glory of God in Christian schools and in homeschooling all over America! The goal of any school is to educate children about life, the world, and their purpose in it. Christian education seeks to teach children about the world God created, how our faith is woven into each area of learning, and how to find purpose and meaning through God’s Will for our life. Why a Christian Education?
