You may be right. When they turn a skating rink into a successful private school, give me a call. I will tip my hat to you.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If "gobmint" teachers have their way, the ice skating rink will never have the opportunity.

By the way,,,,my kids did skate at an arena that trained the Cruthers, an Olympic medal winning brother and sister team. Having had some limited opportunity to see the dance, choreography, and study of music and the expertise of the couches, I am convinced that this arena could provide the foundation for an excellent school. In fact, several parents did attempt to start one. The problem of course, was trying to compete against the price-fixed monopoly government school system.

That you denigrate this idea, merely demonstrates your profound ignorance of what Olympic level training in skating entails. I personally feel privileged to have been able to be a witness.

What are you talking about? How did the idea of turning a skating rink into a private school turn into a slam to me about my ignorance of Olympic training?

You are indeed what people call "a piece of work."
