I worked hard in my first two years and got as many of the required credits out of the way and then my last two years were mostly electives. If they would have let me take Government/Econ in the first semester of my Junior year I would have had enough credits to graduate. But alas, I had to wait unit the second semester of my senior year to get that last required credit. I would have loved the opportunity to start college early and with a little help from the big mitten for funding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471227525958744648.post-6911142174921124072007-06-19T10:08:00.000-04:002007-06-19T10:08:00.000-04:00I agree with the bill you proposed, as a MI parent...I agree with the bill you proposed, as a MI parent, I would hope my children have options available to them.

If kids strike out on their own before their Marxist indoctrination is complete, we may wind up with a state full of voters who can see and think through them and revive the capitalist ethic.

It seeks to maximize benefits for itself and its officers and then for its members. Student achievement only matters when it aligns with the MEA's interests or at least doesn't negatively impact them.Steve Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426726064890495431noreply@blogger.com
