[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are your kids, OP?

Near MV, St. Simon’s is thought of as a very good parochial school. The Girl’s Middle School is outstanding.

I can’t guarantee your kids wouldn’t encounter a rainbow flag at either, though.

5 and 6th grade, it's in the very first post.

Re "progressiveness" in schools to explain: I'm not demanding that my kids won't ever "see" a rainbow flag in school. However as explained in my previous posts, what I do want is my kids don't get brainwashed with progressive stuff. As another pp stated: "7th grade teachers have to dedicate a certain percentage of their time promoting LGBTQ values." This is a red flag for me for public schools (the "dumbed-down" math thing is another). Same goes for things like turning Black history month into a BLM month etc.

Thank you for your inputs about those schools. Not sure if I can afford SV area though (some argue that I can, some that I don't, so I'm a bit confused in that).[/quote]

Right, but you said you want to call the principal and demand removal if your kids encounter a rainbow flag in the classroom. Culturally that would put you very, very far out of the mainstream even for conservatives. I am friends with some very conservative and religious California families and that would never cross their minds.

On the private schools, 6th grade is an admissions year for a lot of them. 7th is less so. Even 6th is hard for the K-8s. I had a friend apply to Keys (another good K-8) and I think they had four spots total for sixth grade available. [/quote]
