The surname (last name) Yonkers is a version of a Dutch origin name. Other versions of the spelling of the surname: Yonker, Jonkers, Jonker, Jonckers, Johnckheer, Jonckeren, De Jonker, and De Jonckheer (with the "J" pronounced as a "Y".) The origin of the surname is from the Middle Dutch word "jonchêre," pronounces like "yonk-HEER" which meant "young lord." It was a medieval designation for a young nobleman. It was not a noble title, however. For some people and their children or the servants of a jonchêre, the appellation developed into a surname/family name. In the USA, there are a number of places named "Yonkers": Yonkers, Dodge County, Georgia; Yonkers, Westchester County, New York; Yonkers, Allegheny County, Maryland; Yonkers, Wagoner County, Oklahoma; plus other geographical features with Yonkers as part of the name. To find out how each place with the name "Yonkers" was named, you will need to consult a gazetteer for each state. A public library may hold the gazetteers you would need to consult.

Charter schools are public schools. Traditional public schools cover standard curriculum and educational practices. Charter schools typically specialize in one form of instructional theory, curriculum, or other educational practice. Charter school attendance is limited to size (where public school attendance is not so much so limited), so once that limit is reached, some students may be added to a waiting list. Some people have the impression that charter schools are private schools. Not so. The "charter" in the name refers to the private or public institution that sponsors the school. In most states, it is necessary for that sponsorship to be "chartered" through an approved state university.

It says God's name in the pledge of allegence. i think thats rediculous. i am a catholic so i think this is very wrong. it im going to send out a law saying that public schools should say the pledge of allegence in public schools. I also think that public schools should pray and go to mass once a week. i know that catholic schools do too. this is also absolutely ridiculous. I also think that praying is the bomb dig a dig. praying and mass should be a important quiet time in your life. JUST REMEMBER TO PRAY GO TO MASS AND SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGENCE!
