schools and education

I am not in favor of the school district where I live. I am not in agreement that school funds equate to taxes. all schools should be created equally, and all students should have quality teachers, all the supplies that they need, etc.

but that's not the way it is.

and if i move like 1/2 mile down the road, i would live in a much better school district. this is nonsense to me.

because our household income is not above 200,000 dollars per year, and who knows if it will ever be. we are cozy on our income, I am not big into status. So having the best clothes, cars, posh furniture is not very important.

but my child is important to me, and his quality of education is important, and somewhere along the lines because of taxes and school Levy's, business and the lottery system....and who knows what else.

i don't live in a good school district, and i am not happy with kids getting tested, and not learning things like critical thinking or not having an art or music class..

so were at one years old looking at how we would get financial aid for a private school, and if there any private schools with out over active religous adgenda's....

anyhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

We have the same situation and are begging our parents (both his and mine) for help with the tuition to send Zoe to Lavalle Private School here, it's 5k a year, completely secular, and has an incredible individually built ciriculum for the kids with a very low student/teacher ratio. Parents are expected to be very involved in the learning process, art and culture (theater, etc) are brought in as well.
I don't blame you for your worry.
