GLA has been great for my nephew. Why would they stop a good thing? It makes no sense.

Our kids deserve better options in this city. Philly schools are failing and we need more choices like GLAI.

So tired of these bureaucrats deciding what is best for our neighborhoods when they dont even live here. Let the school open.
