Waiting in line for your childs education.....FOR TWO DAYS! (update from last year)

11:15:00 PM


   So this is how my day went today....up at 6:00am getting ready to go back and stand in a line that I had been waiting in since Friday morning for registration for a school that opened Saturday morning at 8:00am. Not a school for me, however you ask, "what were you waiting for? it must be for something worthy and amazing" I was waiting along with other parents, (some since Thursday morning at 11:00am when the first parent stood in line)  to make sure they had a space or rather their child had a space out of the 90 slots available for a Pre-K 3 high scope curriculum educational program provided by the state. Yes you can count me and my husband in with the rest of these determined (and some crazy) parents willing to sleep out on the streets for their child's education. Was it worthy and amazing? Although the system to get your child in is a bit ridiculous, flawed and definitely needs some change, however for an amazing foundation of education......it was priceless. Check out the article below reported for NJ.com by reporter Laura Herzog. Yes there is video (click link below), oh and see a cameo of a familiar face....He goes hard for his, lol!
