[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids get kicked out of private schools.  It happens.  It does.

I am not talking about kicking someone out because they are naughty.  geesh!  if someone is not a good fit for the school then they would probably just leave.  The group of us talking about this school are all friends and not interested in kicking out each other's children.  We just want to provide a good learning environment for our kids.  [b]We don't want them learning things from children who come from homes with no rules, where children aren't supervised, where they weren't taught right from wrong and learn things at an early age.  I am not trying to be judgemental about kids who come from low SES families, but there are differences.  Jefferson Houston is predominantly low SES.[/b]We are just looking for a less expensive alternative to educate our children and everyone wants to be really involved.  As many people have mentioned, maybe a homeschool co-op would be a good idea.  ( as i have said several times now)

Okay OP - I've been trying to be nice but you are starting to piss me off.

1 - If you are districted to go to Jefferson Houston, then you are an idiot for not checking out what your local public school would be prior to buying in the area you did.  There are plenty of really nice THs in Old Town that feed into the likes of Lyles Crouch.  Some of us (like me) looked into this when we bought our house.  And yes, that was a good 5+ years before having kids.

2 - You come across as totally snobby and obnoxious.  You pretty much are flat out stating that you don't want your kids to associate themselves with poor children.  I don't know...perhaps you came from a white trash trailor park, married into money (I can only assume since obviously you are a SAHM) and now think you are better than anybody who doesn't make six figures.

Seriously - go eff yourself.

Signed,

A mom who makes WELL into six figures who grew up and went to school with at least 40% low income families.  My closest friends to this day are from elementary school - who grew up dirt poor.  Get over yourself OP.[/quote]
