My wife wanted to send our son to a school like that and my response was:
"Do you have any idea how far I could get on my Targa for that kind of cash". This was undoubtedly the worse response i could have come up with cause it started WWIII for a few hours . She did how ever see the point when I told her that we would be better off waiting until he gets into high school and see if we should think of sending him to a private school then, or better yet just save the bread for college tuition. He's eight so I can imagine that college will be at least a billion dollars a year by then. |
Nothing could be further from the truth. We wanted to start our son in grade school so that there would be no transition to middle school, where all the real trouble usually starts. He won't be leaving friends behind. Now were glad we did, can you imagine explaining this to a 6 year old?

The public schools here are terrible.
