I was wrong about the PELL grants, think am doing the Summer School numbers wrong

[uppityperson]

I thought I read elsewhere via another link on DU that summer school grants were only $500. After researching directly from PELL grant website, I was wrong. They have been more.

I am now going to do more research, wait and watch for real news on wtf they all are talking about from a source other than "source".

I apologize, was wrong.

2. Thank you for posting that, uppityperson.

Self-correction is a hard thing to do and I applaud your willingness to admit you made an error. I struggle with it every day - and often fail to do what I know is right.

This is a serious issue and I certainly understand your desire to have the best outcome for your child. That we disagree on the issue doesn't mean I don't grasp your position (my kid is in college, also).

5. am still trying to figure out where I read "$500". am tired with headache today

I want them to figure out how to not just make funding available, but to make the cost accessible also. Rather like health care and insurance.

I'll wait for the official announcement as this anonymous "source" info isn't clear enough to figure it out.

I will fight for what I think is right, and will say I am wrong when I am. And I was.

4. It is the same article that is posted elsewhere, but thank you. I am waiting to hear from non-anonym

source. "source" and anonymous source don't do it for me. Thank you though. Appreciate your taking the time and effort to post this (non snark, meant seriously)
