From our friends that did it, the answer at least for next yea is no. They can't trust the teacher's union to not do the same as they did this year if there's some variant spike and don't want to disrupt the kids by pulling them in and out. They are open to it once the kids age out of the private school (e.g., once kid ages out of private elementary going back to public middle).

I can't think past this weekend, let alone already decide on next school year! I am life-ing wrong apparently.
FTR, we are a mix of charter & public in our household for various reasons. My county is a red pocket, (well- about 50/50 now due to influx of Bay Area techies,) and we're full time, in person. Masks are the only difference from pre-Pandemic times.
Are you claiming an exclusive franchise as the group's Latino spokesperson?
No way. That why I said if he's Latino, I respect the different perspective. But given the standard set by the current times, if I'm not allowed to lecture others about their cultural experiences, I certainly don't want to be lectured about mine from someone who isn't.
I disagree with your presumptions. Beyond that, the message you complained about was a calmly expressed analysis of the political situation.
No the specific part I objected to was a cultural statement.

Well then there are a lot of islands in that state.

There's another factor. For some kids who are independent and academically motivated, it worked well. It also offers a ton of flexibility schedule-wise for a family. Even if it's just 2-3% percent, it will be skimming the cream off the top of public schools. I expect there will be some laws proposed that attempt to limit homeschooling options as there is a lot of money and power at stake.

Yep. The powers that be do not like competition.
Where are these islands in SoCal? I could be wrong, but I'm not aware of any large communities in Socal that are remotely integrated in terms of Black and White. I'm open to being proven wrong.
Moorpark California is actually a very unusual integration of upper middle class whites, middle class African Americans, and working class Latinos. The African American population is small, as is the community in general, but it's a very rare instance of an actual integrated community, diverse both racially and economically (with houses ranging from mini mansions to trailers). There's even a small Indian American community due to the mini tech hub in the Conejo. Even next door Conejo and Simi are segregated into barrios including some gated communities. I've actually scratched my head from time to time that the school board doesn't explode or the upper middle class flee their mini mansions but somehow they manage to keep a balance and people seem pretty satisfied there and they seem to work out things better politically than either the Conejo or Simi, with both the councils and school boards descending into partisan bitterness in recent years.

To answer your question, El Cajon, Clairemont, Eastlake, Escondido, Vista, Poway . . .
What I meant is Austin and Dallas standout in Texas along with Houston as not like the rest of the state in many ways.

Cases are rising in Washington and Oregon despite vaccinations and their more stringent than the rest of the country reputation for NPIs (Oregon is considering extending its mask mandate for the foreseeable future). They escaped with relatively minor winter waves, but like Finland/Norway/Estonia in Europe, it means eventually every area will have its turn, hopefully limited by the vaccine. India meanwhile is at 300K a day!!!

Oregon HS Track Coach Calls For Mask Lunatics To Drop Rule After Runner Suffers 'Complete Oxygen Debt'
What does insanity look like? It was on display Wednesday at the Summit High School track in Bend, Oregon where the mask police -- the Oregon Health Authority -- forced athletes to

You could make a weak argument for Clairemont maybe, but nothing remotely close to the Texas areas. El Cajon is very integrated in terms of Chaldean and white, Latino, but not in terms of blacks (all sorts of immigrants though in city central). The black community in El Cajon is limited to some isolated, small pockets. Those other communities are integrated with Latinos, but not by any stretch of the imagination with Blacks. Not saying there is anything wrong with any of these communities. My point is that I appreciated the racial diversity I saw in Texas which is not something I've seen in Socal, but I haven't been to Moorpark. Again my observations were anecdotal.
