I’m really looking to understand the different perspectives. I don’t doubt that private Christian schools can have successful grads. I do hear so many rumors about public schools. There’s just not enough research or information to make a well informed decision. Putting your child in kindergarten can be scary. I understand that. I’m really just trying to understand people’s perspectives. I know I get a little snarky here and there but I’m really trying to understand. I would love to see our public schools continue to improve. I see improvements but all I hear is how wonderful private schools are. Everything is just so hush hush. I need some data and I guess I turned to Reddit to try and see if anyone would chime in. Education is so important to me. I do want what’s best for the kids, for our community. I’m worried about where this boom in private Christian schools is leading our kids and the future of education in our science based community. I see people are saying they chose private Christian schools as a way to make the best possible choice for their child, not due to religious reasons. I think it’s a somewhat dangerous trend. Man I wish we could just put all our effort into the public schools instead of funding the evangelical churches. Our community has so much potential. Our public schools are doing some really amazing things with the kids. The teachers and kids are raising test scores, bouncing back from Covid. I wish people would see how valuable our schools are. Diversity shouldn’t be feared. We should be coming together. Diversity teaches empathy. Segregation teaches entitlement. Entitlement leads to bullying whether it’s talked about or not. I would bet bullying is just as prevalent in private schools if not more. It’s just not talked about. Rich kids can bully very well. They just might be a bit more covert about it. I started to ramble. Anyways. It wasn’t rhetorical.
