I did. The public school by my house is under federal indictment. It seems the white teachers were suspending black and latino kids without cause. My family only considered Independent schools because I thought it was important for my kid to have a few queer teachers and that wouldn’t happen in most schools subsidized by the church.
Independent schools in the bay area are too expensive except for an elite few and I didn’t want my kid to be an elitist snob. So, TJ was a good compromise.
I don’t live in a white neighborhood like Palo Alto, La Jolla etc. Nope. My house is walking distance from Magazine street in South Vallejo in one direction. And in the other direction would be the Rodeo projects. Like I said before, the white dudes in my hood don’t sip expensive lattes. They’re full patched and ride Harley’s. I’m in the hood like an engine patna!

Tijuana might be the one town safer than Vallejo.
Suspending black and latino kids without cause?
Not buying it. It is HARD to get a kid suspended these days. If a kid got himself suspended, he worked at it.
Maybe the administration unfairly gave the benefit of the doubt to undeserving white kids. Or maybe the hood rats of all colors have ruined the schools for young kids who want to learn.
There is a reason you and I picked independent schools, and it isn’t because it is hard to find queer role models near San Francisco.

You were played. These are anarchists that are tearing down and defacing monuments to create chaos. Why else would they tear down and deface abolitionists like Frederick douglas, hans christian heg, Matthias Baldwin, as well as catholic saints. They are either dumb like you, or are purposely causing chaos disguised as some sort of virtue. I say its both. You're just naive to believe their fake cause. Lol.

I wasn’t personally involved so I’m not aware. My white Aunt that teaches in the district advised against my kid attending the elementary in the district because she thinks many of the teachers are culturally insensitive to racist. So, I never enrolled my kid in the district.
A few years back, I received a truancy notice so I went to the school district office to talk with the superintendent. I learned the district had a new superintendent and the former superintendent was fired due to the federal indictment. According, to the new superintendent the problem was widespread
But, I’m sure the teachers had their hands full and there are lots of issues with the demographic that they are trying to teach.
I support public education. I also think educating a kid is more than reading, writing, arithmetic. I’ll take a street smart public school educated B student over a sheltered straight A independent school student all day everyday.
How about a street smart GED student who passed on his first try?
I thought your kid was a straight A independent school student. Did I get that wrong?

Yes, she is. But I also made her play soccer in the rec leagues in TJ away from the comforts of Estadio Caliente. Her dance class and swimming class have lots of public school kids too. So the Independent school academics mixed in with some inner city sports is providing a good balance.
I think Independent schools are extreme and many of the students are socially inept. In fact, I don’t think many of the students would be successful in life but for their trust funds and family connections.
Let's keep an open mind Dre. I shared about my friend who has home schooled his kids. His dd just got her first Iphone at 18. Her little brothers wont get one until they graduate and they have never played a video game. They have no tv, but that's because they cant afford tv. he makes $103,000 a year teaching kids like I was. Their talking about a 10% cut possibly. Plus, his dad just died of cancer and he worked as welder in HB. Total stoner dad hippie from the 60s. He was good guy but was not around to help my buddy. His dd got a full ride in dance and is a sweet heart.

I think homeschooling and Independent schools can be great options. I just think for this demographic, parents have to be mindful of the social skills. Maybe my view is colored by Biglaw.
The guys with social skills get to go out with the clients and have fun and make deals. Meanwhile, the socially inept kid is working late and over the weekend writing my briefs and memo’s so I can be prepared to show up to court after my long weekend of getting shit-faced with fellow soccer dads.
I tried to home school my kids just like my friend. I fired my wife as the teacher after the first semester. No joke. I would come down from my office at 11am and my son would be playing video games and just give that look like, "what?" I would say, "dont you have school? He would tell me it's all done. "Where's your sister" I would ask and he said she was asleep still and mommy is at the mall.
Of course you’ve tried to home school your kids. The Moultrie Method has been proven to be easily the best way to raise children.

South Vallejo Ain’t all bad. Have you seen the views from the Maritime Academy?

Just tell Trump to take back his job and fix it. Oh wait, why did he give up the most important job and role of his presidency to the governors?? The man is just a straight coward. You notice all the studies on Covid are coming out of Europe. Where the F*%K are our studies? By now, we should know Covid's SS#, maiden name, and fetishes!
Wrong again Mr Judge of perceptions. My dd was 6 and my son was 9. My dd was only playing AYSO with coach Nancy and Coach Jennifer. The shooting stars. Really nice ladies. We never lost a match. We had two girls who scored all the girls and my dd raced back to protect the defense.

Imagine still being on your period over 3 years later. Best stock up, you got over 4 to go.
All the studies aren’t coming out of Europe. It’s just the fed govt doesn’t do a lot of studies. You can’t blame that on trump. That’s a legacy of animal testing and how left wing activists got the nih to cease a lot of direct studies due to animal testing. I know because back in high school I was part of those protests and meetings over at the nih. I used to go to them and annoy my dad. We’ve done a lot of studies but they are mostly university and pharma based now. I’m more responsible for that than trump is.
The governors are largely running the shot because of federalism. Have a problem with that then blame it on the constitution. No where in the enumerated powers does it say national health policy. Now maybe a president like Obama would say damn the constitution but the red state’s would have given him the finger and either caused him to back down like trump did or use force. If trump had done that you’d be screaming tyranny because he would have forced SoCal and ny to open up faster.
In a park in la county, suburb city right now. Police broke up an adult baseball pickup game. That’s new. They should have just had signs and said they were protesting. But la countY has new signs up warning people team sports are forbidden in the park. Not stopping a girls soccer team from setting up to practice.
