Auntie Charo's Soapbox

KUAM's cameras were on while Juan Flores and friends of GPSS were at the Tamuning Elementary School the other night, discussing whether to redistrict 600 high school children or...do double session at Simon Sanchez this next school term(since it's obvious the school board doesn't seem to know what it should do).......people of all walks, all ages weren't bashful or afraid of the camera or the mike, got up and said what was on their mind....some louder than others....and methinks this may be the groundswell of things to come for all sorts of 'demonstrations' and or, 'changes' within the government.
I say, it's about time that the parents got together to stand up for their children....it's been a long time. I wasn't there so I don't know if there was anyone from the governor's office that represented the man, and or, the lt. governor....surely they would be concerned about what happens to 'our children'(all 600 of'em).
During the past administration(I know, no one likes him, but have to say it anyway), Carl TCG always had someone there to represent him...whether or not he was concerned, it appeared that he was because he sent someone to represent his concerns. I wonder if anyone represented the concerns of the front office during this meeting or if it stopped at Juan Flores and Gerry Cruz and the principlals of the various high schools.
It's a bit odd that we're putting quite a bit of weight on the AG for keeping the schools from being built because he's not affixing his signature on some form when we knew about the building of same almost a year ago which if we took care of same the schools could have been built and the 600 kids would not have to be worrying about where they're going to be attending classes? I recall that there was this great dream to build seven dream schools and that all we had to do was provide the teachers(the nightmare was....where to find the teachers/money for textbooks et cetera)....then, all of a sudden, we decide, we're going to use Compact Impact $sssss which will run out before we're through paying for the school$ which doesn't please the AG too much so he's hot happy about putting his JH on the bottom line......hmmmmm, has his contract for the Pedro's Plaza thing been signed yet? Anyway.....KUAM says.....stay tuned....the AG will have a question and answer thingy on Monday.....you ask, he'll answer....and maybe we'll find out why we'll(or will not) have the dream school at Marbo......
In the meantime....keep the demonstration passions alive....it works. It'll keep the elected officials jumping...I mean, working!
