Hi Joan; What types of changes are they making. I am sure there are going be a lot of concerned parents. Keep us posted.
Hi Joan....I'll have to go over my back PIC emails...a large group of parents and PIC people have been showing a real force at the State House. And from what I'm reading they were able to thwart some of the most serious stuff. In a nut shell I think it was more a holding than steps forward or back! Of course funding will be cut! But any changes can be confusing for parents who self advocate!
I'm not sure it's even constitutional to make 'laws' regarding something the government has no business directing.
Parents are the only ones who should choose when, where and how to educate their children.
Laws? Pfft.
Unfortunately NH the laws are in place...so the next best thing a Parent can do is to learn how best to advocate for their child...if you can't beat em, join em!
Thanks so much for your input NH
