[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you going to work for Google? I have to believe there are forums for Google employees that talk about housing in the SV area -- and I bet they address issues you're concerned about. [/quote]

I'm sure the "I hate gays and am looking for a location where that's ok, but where immigrants aren't hated" will go over real well there [/quote]
I don't think OP said they hated gays, but just didn't want "indoctrination" in the schools.

Honestly, IMO, this is the least of OP's issue.

Housing costs, commute, and the lack of resources/services for high achieving kids in the public schools are bigger issues. Most of the school districts are very small, and don't have the resources to provide magnet/gifted education like AAP and TJ.

When I lived on the Peninsula, the "gifted" education was a few days of pullout a few times a year to work on "projects". This was one of the reasons why we left.  You would think SV, home of super smart people, would have terrific STEM public education, but they don't because they still have to follow CA public education guidelines, and there is no funding.  There are very few magnet schools in the area, and  a couple of charter schools.[/quote]

If you want public schools, you move to Marin. The schools there are every bit as good as anywhere else in the country especially at the ES level [/quote]
Do Marin schools have gifted/magnet programs?[/quote]
