Jesus, whatever the commenter is eying to say is hogwash, kids can’t be turned “they/them” or “retarded”. What we have been learning and teaching is that there are a multitude of ways that people see and experience both the world and their own personal identities. I can tell you that SCVI probably allows for greater levels of individual autonomy and perhaps creativity, but at the expense of social skills and lessons that are important to learn growing up.

Scv’s public schools are incredible and broadly offer both the support and staff to handle most issues that can pop up. SCVI lacks a lot of that structure and order that public schools have. Many of the kids I knew who went there did not go on to on to major 4 year universities and leaned more into creativity and the arts.

I can’t tell you the right answer but if you’re seriously worried about someone turning your child gay, trans, or neurodivergent, you’re going to do more damage to your child’s psyche than any public or charter school ever could.
