I am concerned that there are little resources to educate our youth. Sure, the PS system stinks. But it is all that we have at this moment. Sure, I would like changes, but for heaven sake, let's not destroy a system just to rebuild it.

In the meantime, I have been a displaced worker twice now. First time, social services has been severely hampered. Those with mental health challenges are left to flounder in a very predatory society, for instance.

The second now is education. Locally, in a two county area, 40 teachers were either asked to retire or were laid off. No new hirees. sigh.
