As in years past, the buzz this last week of school is who is returning in the fall.

The upper grades have few female students. My suspicion is that, even in this day and age, parents are reluctant to spend dollars to educate their girls.

My friend, who has only one daughter, finds that suggestion deplorable. But, guess what? Her husband wants to move their daughter to a less expensive school for the upcoming year. It comes down to cost.

I hate to think of what they will be giving up in sending their daughter to another school, in this case, St. Rose in Freehold. Recess is held in the school parking lot!
