Public schools
As a grandparent, I am concerned about the cuts to education and the potential disruption in our public school system under the current administration.
All my children attended public schools in Miami. I attended public school in Miami — South Miami — and my husband attended public schools in Daytona Beach. These school experiences prepared us for life in a diverse population as well as colleges and graduate studies.
The thought of a tiered school system with public education for “second-class citizens” is abhorrent and contrary to the ideals of a great America.
