  • Mons/Stacy/Amelia trio rocks

    These three have great chemistry together. I will say they need to disclose whether they are talking about private or public schools. It’s an issue of class that is often not clearly stated (the fees!). I loved that Amelia brought up that private schools are getting tax payer dollars, why shouldn’t the public use the grounds on weekends?
