WHAT STARTED MY JOURNEY
My perspective on education comes from being a mother of seven, the grandmother of eleven, a para-educator in a Christian school, and a business owner. During the unwarranted closure of the schools, I home schooled two of my grandchildren, one who had attended private school and the other public school. What I quickly observed was the private schooled child was well advanced compared to the child in public-school. An academic achievement gap should not exist between the public and private schools when the public school system is spending over $200 million a year.
