[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another parent here considering exploring this school. The vaccination question concerns me a bit...does anyone have any insight as to if there are a large number of religious or personal exemptions used at this school? As it is a cooperative, I take in to account the parents who will be in the school on a regular basis with my child. If a large percentage of the parents at the school can't accept the basic science behind vaccinations I don't want them anywhere near my child's education. (I am obcoously 100% fine with medical exemptions.)[/quote]

+2. I am also intrigued by this school but this gives me pause.[/quote]

But you realize that public schools and all other private schools allows the same exemption.

Public schools have professional teachers, not parents who may not believe in science acting as teachers.[/quote]

Regarding the comment above about public schools having professional teachers, I just wanted to clarify that RFC does as well. I'm not sure where the belief came from that our parents are "acting as teachers", but our teachers are highly qualified teachers. Please read about them if you'd like more information: http://www.riverfarmcooperative.com/our-team/    I'm thinking that comment might stem from a misunderstanding about how our cooperative is structured. Our teachers are our only paid employees, and this is how we keep our tuition so low. Every family has a job, and that job is crucial to the overall functioning of the school. So our treasurer is a parent, our field trip organizer is a parent, our fundraisers are parents, etc. But our teachers are, indeed, teachers.[/quote]
