Patresa I love this so much! Your observations and commentary are brilliant. I did not know that you are responsible for private schools as well…everything is geared to funding these private schools at the expense of public education. Iowa used to be first in the nation in public education and it is so demoralizing (in a truly demoralizing world!) to watch this happen. I don’t know why people like you stay other than your integrity and commitment and compassion. Thank you for helping us understand what is happening. You are a saint💙

Thank you, Diane! It's all very frustrating and enraging, and it's hard not to feel despairing, as well. I really hope we can turn things around. Oof.
Thanks, Patresa, for:
Sharing your personal story so movingly.
Giving so much for kids, even when buffeted by severe headwinds.
Thanks for reading, Glenn!
