Brittany Sukhbir’s little girl Raelyn cried after every day at school. Raelyn attended second grade at the local public school in Livingston, Montana, and a classmate was bullying her unmercifully.
Brittany and her husband, Kyle, a retired army veteran injured while serving in Afghanistan, met with teachers and administrators, but nothing changed. “Life at home,” Brittany recalls, “was kinda like walking on eggshells.”
That was before St. Mary’s. This Catholic grade school had a good reputation in Livingston and a “zero tolerance policy” about bullying. The Sukhbirs did not think that they could afford private school, but the daily bullying simply became too much for Raelyn to bear.
They contacted St. Mary’s prior to the Christmas break. They visited the school and arranged for Raelyn to spend the morning as a visitor when classes resumed. Brittany was impressed: “Every single teacher knew her name and every student was excited to meet Raelyn and play with her.”

School voucher system is a sensible solution
ReplyDeletePublic school then military. Drink, bikes and strip clubs. Happy life.
ReplyDeleteOr use it for homeschooling. Wicomico can’t provide suitable schooling. Families that have to take education upon themselves also pay taxes for schools. Tax dollars for homeschooling.
ReplyDeleteschool vouchers is like pissing in your lemonade it doesn`t make the piss taste better it just makes the lemonade undrinkable for everybody.only the poor and riff raff support vouchers so they can piss in everybody`s educational lemonade.
