Can't wait to sell my home in lower merion. These kids will not realize how to live in the real world as they are soo spoiled.
I will not be voting again for anyone approving the two new high schools in lower merion.

I find these two l.m. township schools to be outrageous. How much more spoiling can we give the kids? My brother and I went to a small catholic grade school in wilmington, de and then a public school ini wilmington, de. We have both become successful in our lives. He is an attorney and I am a legal secretary. Can we get back to the basics of teaching? Also, in the millions spent, why did the township demolish the pool which was a great activity that the Speicher family devoted their evenings and weekends to? Please rethink that swim program.
