No one really knows why. The school district has long been blamed for this. It has been criticized for being mismanaged and ineffectual. Many people blame the children's parents saying, These problems always begin in the home. At JustRow we have decided to forget about all of the trite nonsense of blame and instead focus on finding solutions.
Few students find solace at their schools.
One student has complained to our head coach, Harold Finigan, of being beaten up for carrying school books. Others merely shy away from learning and never even attempt to achieve. We have realized that for children to succeed they need a place where achieving is not only encouraged, but required in every way. We wanted to stress academic, social and physical achievement. Rowing has become the venue by which we can encourage that achievement.
