Are you ever SHOCKED by how butt-ignorant *SOME* young people are?

334. but they have terrific cross country teams, .... lol

i tease.

we do not have any of that in our area. i havent heard of anything. i am in amarillo. what grade is he in?

my kids were in private, but they are all religious private in my area. by my oldest fourth year i had to pull him out. he is stubborn and was so angry back in 2004 with all they ugly and hypocrisy of the christians. christian coalition was going strong during the kerry election, and between that and passion of christ it really change the whole feel of the school he was going to. he was flunking bible. he refused to open the book. i couldnt get him into the public school i wanted either, so was holding out until i could get him into the public school i wanted. couldnt wait any longer.

i had heard so many bad things about public. kinda like this thread.

i have been nothing but pleased with the kids education since getting them into public. the teachers and adm. i have watched the kids learn material way earlier than we did and much more than we did. and i am really tired of the whine the education is not there. but i do not see that at all. oldest is a senior. he has 4 and half college accredit classes and he has 4 this school year. that is gonna save me in cost for college.

the opportunity for the kid to get an education is there. in the schools my kids have gone, the teachers welcome parental participation

eventually both kids had to drop AP math, and then the AP science. may not be AP for all the classes, but the ones they excel. my kids are history, and english and the non math science, lol. even if it is jsut a couple AP courses, it is a good thing.

good luck to your son
