Journal 7

             Watching the film Waiting for Superman was very close to my heart.  I too had to play the lottery game, fill out an application and put our first, second, third, school choice.  You were not guaranteed a spot of your choice.  So if your name was not called you had to make other arrangements.  Luckily we were called and all three of my daughters were able to get the choice we wanted. Lottery is a hard way to get into school of choice but with so many children and not enough facilities what other way is there?
 I am in the school system and watching these families go through so many obstacles in order for their child to get  school of their choice and a good education is hard. Also seeing teachers who don't even care to teach or do anything with their students is horrible.  Think of all the wisdom and experience that these teachers can give to their students and how much they could learn.  The reason why students are there is only to learn.
