So after Amy's beaming accounts of The Pinnacle Learning Center (formerly Kimber Academy) I totally would like to visit one myself.
Get this though, I was signing on to a computer at work to make a photo assignment for a story I'm working on, and I saw this photo assignment in the computer:
Pinnacle Learning Center
(Then the description of the story for the photographer reads:)
Feature about center that helps radical, home-schooling parents give their kids an education..
It didn't say what reporter put in the assignment,and it might not be someone in our office because it is a North County story, but still, to describe the place as a school for "radical, home-schooling parents?" My first vibe from that description is that they think it's a school for weirdos who actually want their kids to have a unique religious education. There is a lot of bozos out there eh? I'll be interested to see this article when it comes out.
I remember back when the elections were going on last year one of the reporters who was doing a story on the libertarian candidate and was mocking him for having a platform that stood for the privitization of schools (though her article was "fair and balanced" it's still interesting to hear what people have to say about it behind the scenes).
Just a note, sorry it wasn't inspirational or uplifting,
Marcie

Did the reporter for the story write the description you saw? Just curious...

Here's the article in question. If it was the same reporter, she sure liked us by the time she left. As the Administrator of the Pinnacle Learning Center, I expect people to be skeptical about us when they first hear of us. I mean, who sends their kids to an LDS school in the middle of Utah County? But it's different when they get here, and see our amazing kids, and feel the spirit of the place. One student just finished a trip to the Phillipines, disbursing medical equipment he had found donors for. Another student, of her own volition,is organizing a book club focusing on those wishing to increase their reading skills. Anyone with questions can call me (Brother Jensen at (801) 368-1623). If we can get it scheduled, Amy will be speaking here next Wednesday (or the next.) :)
