Welcome!

I started this blog today because I can honestly say that I have no place to turn or no place to turn regarding the educational situation of my child.  I live in a county where the dropout rate for our children is 50%.  I am a member of the African American Race where our drop out rate is 50%.  After entering my child in middle school I have begun to realize that the problems our children face black, white, yellow, green and otherwise is because of a system that has betrayed our children and leaves our most precious resources to many people who are just working for a check and will coordinate their efforts to work against parents, children, and society so they can protect their way of life.  I am fed up afraid and literally have no place to turn hopefully as I write I will find individuals to connect with regarding the dismal failure of our educational system.  I am in DeKalb County Georgia and I can honestly say that since Georgia is at the bottom of the list as it ranks for quality of schools, I honestly hope that the situation that I find myself in is an absolute exception to the rule and not the rule.  Thank you for reading and I will now begin to record my experiences as a parent in DeKalb County Georgia, a parent of a no child left behind middle school student and as a totally disappointed and disgruntled human being as it relates to my child’s education.  I welcome comments, and suggestions and thank you in advance for them.
