In Chicago?
Mike the Marine tells us about a new Marine Corps Academy of Math and Science that just opened in, of all places, Chicago. It was opened by the Chicago Public Schools.
Huh. To say I'm shocked would be an understatement.
But shocked in a good way.
Teaching kids discipline? Preparing them for college? In Chicago?
AND, they are planning on opening more! Supported by other Branches!!
Of course we've got those that think it's evil and must be destroyed, but THAT is NOT unexpected.
It's all good in my book.
