sparkytown....


Today i was able to go (after 3 hours of meetings in Sacaton) to Lexi's school (Arizona State University Polytechnic Elementary School) and see sparkytown.


It's the town that the kids made (she's in Kindergarten) and there was a library and a bank and a police station, etc. She was so excited to show me everything and it was great to see.


So ASU did a great thing by making these public schools. She's SO FAR ahead of all my kindergartners much less most of my first graders.


and then I get back to work...........and there's an email from ASU.


And they are cutting a bazillion programs and classes and schools and firing a bunch of people.


And I worry...........what if MY program goes away before I graduate? Then what? What if they close this campus?


How do you cut programs and close colleges? ASU is one of the most popular schools in the nation?
