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.

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

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:
