11/24 Great School Debate
Quote From: faeryedark My kids are in public school and are doing great. However, they may be going to a private school or home schooled in the coming years. Our district is in a war right now about building a new High School and consolidating Elementarys. My sons attend a wonderful little (one deep elem.) I know all the teachers and they're very good. My kids score at the top of their groups But, now the district is coming in and wanting to consolidate the smaller older schools into one big one. Meaning, my kids would be bused,(they live a few blocks from their school and walk everyday).. Also, their Grandma lives right nearby and the library's right next door And there would be 4 classes per grade and to me they'd lose a great deal all in the name of progress. Add to that the fact, that the site of the new school would be on a community park. The district has "generously" allowed the use of the school's playground to the community after school hours. I won't even get into the whole thing about the new high school. If things keep going the way they are my children won't be attending any of these schools. And I think this is a problem with a lot of schools, they "seem" to think that the bigger the school the better, but I think a smaller setting is better but of course that is my opinion and that is why I chose a school that is smaller in size. I still think my daughters class is too big but it is smaller then the school classes down the street that she would have went to.
