2. And that is totally in spite of the fact that LA gets more per child

by like thousands of dollars, than our school district.

8. We knew it was coming.

We made a 22 point gain in API score for the school. Plus a number of other changes were implemented over the past year and a half.

13. Yes it is.

3 of the 4 that got the award in the OC are public schools.

15. Even if I could afford to - I would not send the kid to private school

Sends the wrong message IMHO.

18. True true.

Why pay exhorbitant amounts of cash to send my daughter to school when I am already paying taxes that pay for public schools (and the schools here in Irvine are most definitely better than average).

19. I would not be against sending K to a magnet school or even a charter school

that was publicly funded, if it had a program that matched both K's interests and abilities better than the neighborhood school.

20. Well that is it when it gets right down to it. Not to disparage public...

But a child's interests are able to be more fully expressed perhaps elsewhere. Peace on you & yours, Hon :hi:
