[Vision2020] A School that isn't...or is it?

Mon Feb 26 14:46:47 PST 2007

It has been pointed out by several posters through private e-mails that the 
St. Monica School For Girls Hearings may not be common knowledge.

What I was referring to is the hearings that Gary Greenfield requested in 
front of the BOA (March last year) in order to argue that St. Monica's 
School For Girls was not, in fact, a school but was rather a "day care" that 
he and his then wife were running in their home.  Several issues were 
involved; the fact that an illegal school was being run out of their home, 
that a teacher was in fact hired to teach the girls that came to that home 
on a daily/weekly basis, and that through Greg Dickison, Gary Greenfield 
wanted the BOA to grant the school the ability to continue until the end of 
the term (then, May).

My biggest issues were that both Gary and Greg KNEW they were running a 
school out of that home and that they tried to convince the BOA that even 
though it was presented to the Chamber of Commerce (as was shown) as a 
school, had a set name of being a school, had a set uniform, had a set and 
paid teacher, had a set monthly fee, had a set curriculum, had set hours of 
operations, had set schedule to the day (i.e., study periods, play periods, 
homework periods, etc.) and the girls received a report card at the end of 
each term period, Gary through Greg tried to pass it off as just a 
coincidence that these set children had the very same clothes, study 
materials, etc. and that it was only a day care...a day care for children 
ages 8yrs-11yrs.  (IF it were not a school, what were those children doing 
in a day care and not attending either a regular school or at the very 
least, being "home schooled"?)

The BOA was fooled into granting them a stay and they were able to continue 
running the school out of the home.  In fact, the school still appears in 
the Chamber of Commerce's list of private schools in the Moscow Area at 
Gary's former home address (see 
http://www.moscowchamber.com/OurCommunity/Education/Education.htm)

All this serves to do is allow other illegal schools to be run as "day 
cares" thereby get by with running in a forbidden area of the city as they 
will just follow what ground was laid by Greg Dickison and Gary Greenfield.

Someone that is truly in communion with God and is repentive in spirit would 
know what he has to do to make this right.  Betcha it won't happen, though.  
In fact, I will go so far as to state without a doubt, it will not happen.  
So, no!  I do not buy Gary's new-founded religion in his heart.
