Allie, if it were only that simple!

I’m studying elementary education, which seemed to be a stable career with easy-to-find jobs at the time and now I don’t believe I’ll be able to get a job in my own county! In my county, they’re cutting 25 million dollars and over 100 jobs. A simple check isn’t going to cut it – and who the heck has 25 mil laying around? These celebrities also have their own expenses.

I applaud Cynthia for getting involved and not just cutting a check and keeping her hands clean of it. It shows a lot more involvement.

I remember reading that Cynthia Nixon was herself a product of public schooling and feels very strongly about giving her children a quality public school education. I admire that very much.

Her ex boyfriend, Danny Mozes, is a different person than Julia Roberts’ husband, Danny Moder.

Allie – If you knew any of the details of the situation with NYC schools, it’s bigger problem than her old HBO paycheck can handle. And in a time when the city is having record construction, our mayor is giving tax cuts to corporations instead of keeping promises to our kids. While I realize it’s more complicated than my few sentences here, it’s a real crises for the schools right now. Good for Cynthia Nixon to bring her celebrity to such a great cause. She could just pull her kids and put them in privates.

No Ritzgirl, it’s two different Danny’s. Julia’s husband is Danny Moder, not Mozes.

RitzGirl, her ex-boyfriend is not Julia Roberts’ husband. Julia’s hubby is Danny Moder…although I do admit their names are quite similiar.

Bravo to Cynthia for standing up for what she believes in!

Good for her for being involved. She’s put her money into that school just like everyone else with tax dollars.

Sadie – I was just about to post the same thing!!

I’m also impressed that she’s fighting for the funding instead of pulling her kids out and putting them into another school, particularly a private one as funding issues are rarely a problem.

This is an issue so close to my heart (my kids are in a public Montessori magnet program which has experienced similar cuts). I applaud her for being so involved and vocal. Many parents – regardless of their celebrity – are not.

I’m sure she could put her money where her mouth is also…
