Anything other than the "Indian" boarding schools. What I was referring to are regionally schools where kids would learn the essentials plus how to read, write, and speak their naive tongue; their culture; and other useful knowledge for living wherever they wish. . I see it as giving those kids opportunities into the future, and a possible opt out to the substance abuse, and suicide rates one sees in much of Bush Alaska. if you don't want that, fine by me, but with the state and federal government's being broke or in debt already, tell me just how long do you think the gravy train will continue? The way they're balancing the budget for the state, the constitutional budget reserve and the permanent fund will disappear in 5 to 10 years. Then what? Those kids, now adults, u move to town for work? With what skills exactly? This is how you end up at the bottom of the economic and societal ladder. I actually considered sending my oldest daughter to Mt edgecumbe, because it's a good school.
