Donations Needed!

by admin November 10, 2011

Help a Student Out! Or maybe help so many more…. Time is growing shorter till we have reached that magical end of the year. That December 31st date! Time flies by, doesn’t it? This year, for me has been a blur. We are just about to get together with family and friends and sit down for Thanksgiving. Black Friday will kick off the holiday shopping season.

Private vs. Public School

by admin July 26, 2011

Private vs. Public school – which one do you think is better? Which one do you prefer? Which one did you attend? Now, think of the reasons that you prefer one over the other… The debate over the years centered on class sizes, faculty, budgets and administration. Private schools, like their public counterparts, come in a variety of sizes, strengths, weaknesses and overall experience. For those that are old enough, do you remember the show “Point, Counterpoint”? When I was working full-time at a Fortune 50 company, we used to have some very lively discussions on this very topic.
