We love watching the Boys Steamboat Sailors basketball and Coach Meek. We are proud of this organization and don't even have kids in school yet! Thanks Coach Meek!
Eric was an awesome young man, typical of many steamboat kids who kind of struggled for a just a little while, then a light came on and Bam, an excellent Young Man emerged! I for one was proud to see what he had become, I write this through tear filled eyes, this is heartbreaking!
Nondescript- I plan on homeschooling my kids, I am a stay at home mom and think the that America needs to revamp their priorities and budget. Don't get me wrong, I love America. But the direction of socialism is staggering. I believe too many parents depend on the school system to teach and raise their child. That gives them an open door to point fingers, expect teachers to be perfect, board members to make every decision correctly for their child. If a parent does not have the motivation to teach their child, an all day K would be good. The town complains of not enough daycare. Parents say they need more child care. They should look in the mirror and realize there is child care looking right at them. I am not saying homeschool is right for everyone, it's just hard to see Parents dropping kids off 5 days a week at such a young age. There are situations that I understand like single parents. I think teachers have too many restrictions that the government has implimented because of the people. Until the school system can breathe with logic, I will homeschool.
---Corduroy--- "I remember distinctly learning a lot in full day K. all the alphabet, numbers, we had gym class and library time with a book read to us, art class, recess" You are right Corduroy, if you can't teach your own child alphabet, numbers and exercise plus read to them...there should be a all day K so they can teach your kid.
---citizenstmbt--"I trust that the administration will make decisions and recomendations based on what is best for the kids, not opinions based on self-interest." That is a typical statement-you are relying on the adminstration to decide what is best for your kid. ---it should be you! Too many Americans ask the government to take care of our own responsibilities.
justathought- Yep! Most jobs/careers in Steamboat can be found in other areas that are more afordable to live and raise kids. I would just like to see family and family values increase instead of concentrating on pocketbook or as some people say "survival".
Lowerprofile, It is not the money that I am concerned about, it's priority. It's more important for parents to work and have a nicer house, car and skis than to cut their budget and spend time with thier kids. Lets start raising our kids and stop depending on others to to your job! Let's be parents! The reason people want an all day kindergarten is so someone else will teach and raise their kid. We all need to step back and see what is best for our kid...not the parent
Slow start, fast finish for Sailors
