There is still the presence of the dominant culture in city schools, though I don't see that as a problem. Many folks in town see private school as a hidden tax of living here. I don't necessarily agree, but I understand their viewpoint.</p> <p>However, the cathedral school is half the price of other private schools in the area, so it's super hard to disregard it entirely and it is a fabulous school!!!</p> <p>Wall me if you want the details. We've toured it and everything... I would love if you moved here! Please say you are considering it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1604992 Thu, 01 May 2014 10:51:15 +0000 littlebug 1604992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1604978 Thu, 01 May 2014 10:42:39 +0000 jedeve 1604978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: DH always felt if we moved to your area (we've talked about it some), that we would send our kids to Catholic school because he was concerned about the public schools. Do you feel like in the city they are more diverse? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1604892 Thu, 01 May 2014 10:13:35 +0000 Charm54 1604892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Public, French Immersion program at an English school ( hopefully the one I teach at!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1603774 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 20:01:39 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1603774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't know yet. I was hoping for the Public Spanish immersion program, but it's the only school in our city that requires the child to be within the district :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1603740 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 19:53:35 +0000 Katrocap 1603740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All private, which I never would have imagined. I attended all public schools, my mom was a public school teacher and so am I. The public schools in my city are terrible. In fact, with Common Core and the conformist/militaristic nature of public schools (at least in my area), I am becoming more and more disenchanted with how schools work in general. We are lucky to have a Sudbury school in our city and at the moment that's where we are planning on sending DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1603526 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 18:33:43 +0000 lovehoneybee 1603526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The plan is all public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1603514 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 18:29:49 +0000 Ra 1603514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All private, which kills me because I'm a huge proponent of public schooling. However, we live in the city and the schools we are districted to are AWFUL. We are only two blocks away from the boundary for awesome public schools so we are hoping that the boundary lines will be redrawn by then. Or, maybe we will be able to get him into a charter school. Luckily, we have a while to figure it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1603489 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 18:12:53 +0000 woodentulip 1603489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will likely do public through most of the way, with the possibility of private for some of all of high school.</p> <p>We would like to give both our girls an opportunity to have and international year in high school-my husband did his senior year at a private school in Switzerland, and we would love that for our girls too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1603446 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 17:52:37 +0000 chopsuey 1603446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>private k-12 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1602999 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:09:54 +0000 bhbee 1602999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we picked a neighborhood (for many reasons) that has a very decent elementary school. but MS and HS are pretty crappy. so we're either moving or paying for private school. we think we may feel like we want to move to a bigger house further out (that would have better schools) by then anyway. private school would be a huge hit (but DH went to one all the way through so he values it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1602982 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:05:35 +0000 bushelandapeck 1602982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Private preschool and then public everything else. We have discussed the option to send him to a private school however, and would be open to it if we felt he would receive a much better education than the public school. We are fortunate to live in a very good district now though and do not foresee having to do this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1602963 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:01:05 +0000 lamariniere 1602963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because we are expats and don't speak the local language, we have mostly decided on a private French school. He's currently in a private bilingual preschool, so he is learning German. However, when he gets to be school age, I want to know what is going on with his school, curriculum, teachers and I want to be able to help with homework and be otherwise involved. I won't be able to provide any type do support if he is in a local public school. That said, if we lived in a country where the local language was one we spoke, he would likely go to public school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1602811 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 14:21:46 +0000 artsyfartsy 1602811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All public! The only private schools even remotely close are catholic schools. And we are not catholic! I went to the same public schools (same school system anyway) and I feel like I had a great experience with lots of opportunities. They've progressed even more since I've been out of school and probably even more by the time T goes to school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now/page/2#post-1602793 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 14:18:26 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1602793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: haha i know ;) i vote raleigh.

I don't think we could ever move somewhere and feel "at home" the way we do here. But the taxes are higher &amp; the school district sucks. Taxes are so high that sending our kids to private school isn't affordable.</p> <p>So we'd like to move to a neighboring town, where two schools are both in the top 10 in our state.. But houses there are so far out of our reach. Hopefully more real estate opens but right now... Yeesh!</p> <p>I don't know where we will end up. We've even talked about moving to the south. Who knows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now#post-1602641 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 13:45:14 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1602641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am incredibly passionate about public, so none of the other options are a consideration for us. I have learned to never say never... But It would take some really extreme circumstances for me to change my mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now#post-1602542 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 13:29:33 +0000 rattles 1602542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're planning for Catholic high school and preschool. Elementary and junior high will depend where we live. If we stay in our current city/location, I wouldn't feel comfortable sending DD to our local schools. We're planning to relocate between now and then though, and we're planning to prioritize good public schools so that the "choice" between public and private remains a real choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now#post-1602391 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 12:59:24 +0000 Silva 1602391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Private kindergarten, and possibly first grade, then all public </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now#post-1602378 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 12:57:04 +0000 Beyond2 1602378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As of right now were planning on all homeschool, but we'll see, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now#post-1602364 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 12:55:37 +0000 LuLu Mom 1602364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All public, really the only option in our small town.

I hope it works out for you!</p> <p>Our LO (and future LO's) will likely go to private Catholic school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now#post-1602254 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 12:33:26 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1602254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's going to the same school she's going to now. Her daycare is attached to an elementary school. It's near a lake with a forest right next to it (it's even called The School's forest). So far, I love it and feel grateful each day for finding a house that's nearby.</p> <p>As for middle school, she's likely going to one of the ones in town (15 minute walk away). There isn't a high school in town, but we'll figure that out when the time comes. There's a few high schools in the next town over (15 minutes drive) but I'm not so enthusiastic about any of them!</p> <p>They're all public, but in Sweden, the cost is the same for private and public (except for boarding schools). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-school-plan-for-your-losright-now#post-1602175 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 12:13:41 +0000 MrsTiz 1602175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All public!
