With crappy expensive houses and high level of indoctrination (political + social) in public schools in Bay Area, do you think it’s better to send kids to private school? Elementary schools usually don’t matter that much compared to high or may be middle school. So, I believe people might not mind still sending their kids to public school for elementary school.
Another option - Rent in good school area during middle/high school.
In some high col areas, the rents are too high and get no tax break. Rents made sense 10 years ago. Now rents are worth 5x mortgage for cheap houses from elsewhere.
What’s wrong with public school?
Private tutoring is the best option (1:1 student teacher ratio)
Ghetto hood rats teach you more about the real world than rich spoiled private school brats.
Move out of the Bay Area because it’s an overpriced shit hole.
If you want your kids to be a powerful leader, you need to put in the time as a parent to groom him to go to a normal school and work with him to make that school better than it was. If you can pull that off, your kids will learn that he can change his environment against the odds and move on to do great things. If you want to do lazy parenting, then you can pull your kids in a school with other snobby parents who thinks their kids deserves more than other kids but are too lazy to put in the real work.
Agreed. Half of my family works for the education system and a lot of how the students turn out falls on what is going on at home.
Move to Seattle 😂
When prices are high enough that private schools seem affordable, the (housing) top is near... But over time, the people living in that neighborhood would make public schools worth considering.
