I'm moving also to D. C. and also am a teacher here in PR is the
same thing in Public School it's a shame, I do'not know how us as
parent don't care of our little's education, thanks God my oldest
daughter it's a great student, but that was because she had great
teachers, parents and aunts that took care. So I am willing to
give a chance and praying with all my faith that this will change..
And I will be a great teacher so my baby girl will learn as others
let's pray that she will have the same oportunity..
