private school
By lizbeth

I really resented the poster who said that private school kids are sheltered from the world. I do not believe they are. My kids go to a large private K-12th christian school and I wouldn't have any other way. I don't call
it sheltering my kids to keep them away from the public schools which are full of gangs, fights, overcrowding, ect. In some areas the public schools might be okay, but most parents in my area that can afford to send their kids to private school would never dream of sending their kids to public school. The public schools are so bad in the district that we live in, that some parents who can't

afford private school move to a new school district just to avoid the awful public school district we live in. My cousin moved an hour away so her kids would not have to go to the public schools in our area. Now she lives in a much better suburban public school district and is very happy with the schools her kids go to.

My husband and I would never send our children to the public schools in our area. They are awful. Unless we wanted our children to be the only white kids in the school. Our area public schools are at least 85% hispanic or higher, and I'm not about to send my kids to a school where all the kids around them only speak spanish. My kids would be miserable and would feel excluded and isolated. I want their school years to be happy ones, so I send my kids to a private school in the neighborhood that a lot of other neighborhood kids go to.
