Re: New York State Ed Cracks

Summers  Joe....

I cherish the time I with my children.  I'm being asked to basically sign
over adoption papers to the state when i enroll my children as it is now.
PLEASE don't add anymore time to the school year or school day.  PLEASE
understand there are those of us who truly want to be with our children and
consider our time with them as valuable if not more so than with the
teachers.  Time with our children is also an invaluable education also.

gotta leave now to go camping - then headed out monday to that ed conference
in dallas so i don't think i'll be responding much till i get back...just so
you know i'm not ignoring you.

i have copied and pasted the original email that i was referring to:
