The term government schools really does say what they are. They are no longer in public control.<BR/>I will be calling them government schools from now on too.<BR/>blessings~<BR/>JacqueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-3828325366951935932008-05-11T08:07:00.000-07:002008-05-11T08:07:00.000-07:00I typically use the phrase "government-run school"...I typically use the phrase "government-run school" because I don't feel that the general public truly has much say in how they are operated. Just look at the whole brouhaha over SB777 here in CA. If that particular bill were put on a referendum, I doubt that the majority of voters would've approved it.Crimson Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03254830856234479999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-20409209259363296572008-05-10T23:01:00.000-07:002008-05-10T23:01:00.000-07:00I will join you in the "government schools" refere...I will join you in the "government schools" referencing.

Somehow we've gotten to the point where getting a check from a government entity to fund an activity is public but collecting money from friends, associates and other like minded people is somehow not representative of the public.Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009107720601931341noreply@blogger.com
