Public schools are the backbone of America's success
As military brats, my sister and I attended government (U.S. Army) schools in Germany and at Fort Ord, Calif. We also went to public schools in Fayetteville, N.C. Tacoma, Wash., Lakewood, Wash., Monterey, Calif. and Albany, Ga. At each school we gained knowledge. My sister fulfilled her dream by going to business school; I achieved mine by going to university. We both worked and contributed to society.
For 42 years, I taught thousands of public school students. Almost all achieved their dreams, gained knowledge from public schools and contributed to society through their careers.
Some in D.C. say that government/public schools give students no knowledge. These individuals are misinformed, uninformed or biased. Their claim about the failure of government/public schools is wrong.
Government/public schools have been and are the backbone of American success. Let’s always keep that real fact before us.
