[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or move for middle school. Back story: we live in an area zoned for an improving but weak middle school. Child #2 hits MS next year. She is an okay student who seems to be behind in part because she had an inexperienced and not talented sub for 6 months last year. Our options are : 1) an ok catholic school where she will get a solid education in the basics. We aent religious, but are not opposed. 2) send to the barely passable public MS knowing a tutor will be needed to be prepared for HS 3) have her join oldest at expensive private. She doesn't really want to go there, and we cant really afford it. 4) move, probably to attend westland. For option 2) we dont know how to structure a full scale supplementation plan for math, language arts, but i think it will be much less than $40k. Advice welcome and needed.[/quote] First - there is no way I would send my mediocre, doesn't want to go there child to a $40k school I could not afford. I think if the Catholic school would prepare her for high school and she wouldn't be ostracized due to not being Catholic and/or religious, that would be my choice. I would see how much religion is involved in the curriculum. Often, it isn't as much as you may think.[/quote] That's true of Lutheran schools, but not Catholic schools. Religion is a daily occurrence and many subjects are taught with religion in mind - History for example.[/quote]
