It seems that we have a generation of adults in Hartford that have a problem with doing the right thing. If the students at Hartford's Capitol Preparatory Magnet School are any indication though, there is hope for Hartford on the horizon.
Apparently students at the school are fed up with a lack of response to their questions asked regarding a move to their new school. Sources have confirmed that the school is essentially complete with the exception of landscaping and minor cosmetic details inside the building.
Many people, both adults and young people, were observed walking in and out of the newly renovated "Capitol Prep" (the former Barnard Brown School)on Main Street. No one was wearing hardhats, as would be the OSHA requirement,if the school was still a "construction zone".
There are still many questions as to the reason for the delay for the students to move into the school. I will dig into this and try to get the answers to some of the questions being raised by students and parents at Capitol Prep. In the meantime, students I spoke with feel deprived of high school memories from spending their senior year in a temporary home shared with Capitol Community College at 960 Main Street.
I'll post more on this as I get answers to questions, but in the meantime parents and students are suspicious of the reasons that the move has not taken place yet.
In the end though, it was very encouraging seeing Hartford's next generation of potential leaders standing up and speaking for themselves in an orderly and productive manner.
