Will this end up as another broken promise from the State of WA?wsnorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795943009142572757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-91068980291372793422011-07-19T23:10:14.846-07:002011-07-19T23:10:14.846-07:00Good for them - an energetic young woman had an ac...Good for them - an energetic young woman had an active table at Pinehurst's graduation ceremony and ambushed every kid and parent who walked by, getting them to sign up. It's this kind of dogged face to face recruitment that really produces results, not stupid robocalls. Kudos to the Road Map Project if they're the ones responsible! Let's keep kids moving forward!<br /><br />(Oh, and Pinehurst, of course, is in the "North End", although the demographics of the school are far from typical for that region.)Josh Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242600011474990770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-6565632190553536672011-07-19T19:06:08.670-07:002011-07-19T19:06:08.670-07:00This is nice news to hear!

Now I hope to see that these kids do in fact graduate and seek a college education (if that is what they want). I hope that there are sufficient supports for these students, but I am certainly not holding my breath. <br /><br />On a side note, it is fascinating to see what threads attract immediate and numerous commentary (anything APP for instance) and those that do not. Though certainly not scientific, I believe it does provide some indication of where the demographic of this blog lies. <br /><br />--lurker/observerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
