yeah right, private schools are jammed, back logged, waiting lists a mile long. Parents can't wait to get away from the public school propaganda program. They want to raise their kids, not some wackos

Our local public high school is on a list of best schools in the nation (I saw it in Parade magazine, I'm not sure who drew up the list). Even so, the religious community here is very vocal that the school is full of problems. In reality they are having a hard time getting parents to pay for their taliban-schools and so they want to scare parents by saying the school is a den of drugs and sex. Its the same here. One class in which I student taught.....the teacher told me she locks the classroom door after the kids are in the classroom and the bell rings. I said does the school have problems. She said no. So I said why then do you lock the door. She said: I don't know......in case a shooter comes into the building. I thought what are the odds........and I'm sure she tells all her friends the same thing without identifying that she's overly paranoid. That just reinforces the negativity around public schools. Meanwhile the kids in the school couldn't be nicer. They are about as scary as a little kitty. It makes me sick the misinformation. ted
