[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sf poster here. To OP if you are SE Asian and want to find similar the South Bay seems to have more SE Asian but East Bay does have some Asian population. It won’t be uncommon for your kids to find mirrors at parochial schools around the Bay Area.  There are not really magnet schools in Marin, SF has charter schools, a few magnets in high school, there is Lowell (similar in some ways to TJ but since Covid has become lottery instead of testing in). Many highly rated public schools in SV, like a lot of publics there are 2 tracks, one is the AP route, going on to extremely competitive 4 year schools.  I think a lot of your worries about schools in the Bay Area are not entirely true, we have 2 nieces that teach in Fairfax county public schools that have views considered very extreme by a lot of my teacher friends here, like not offering algebra in middle school and not having gifted and talented programs. Hopefully you join a great company out here that grows and worst case scenario you network and can easily find a new postion if you need to. [/quote]

OP here. I don't think your nieces' views are extreme. Schools should have gifted programs in my opinion, I guess the information posted by 02/06/2022 10:07 is particularly worrying. Also those stories about prop 13 from 02/05/2022 12:38, forced promotion of LGBTQ values by  02/06/2022 14:32 and overall public school ranking by 02/05/2022 21:55 all together say that I won't be considering public schools in the Bay area - sure there might be some "acceptable" ones but I don't want to risk trying to find a needle in the haystack.

[quote=Anonymous]You should definitely look for jobs in FL. Here's a parent who, among many other things, asked for the removal of rainbow flags at her daughter's school:

While their politics would be fitting for me, I have no clue about their quality of education. Anyway I don't have a job offer from FL at this point as I said before, my choices are either go somewhere to Bay area or decline the offer and stay here.[/quote]
