Thank you for commenting on this po...Hi Elizabeth,<br /><br />Thank you for commenting on this post. Both my daughters have attended the local public elementary school. My wife and I have been satisfied with the education that they have received there. We, however, did place their names on the waiting list for the magnet elementary school. It is a California Distinguished School on a new campus and I love the Visual & Performance Arts focus. I must, as a former principal, admit to being biased toward this school. I hope they get accepted. Best wishes in placing your daughter in the right school. Having a caring mother has already given her an advantage in her education.Educator Musinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534275422637444965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607931786458623943.post-59798146009354801932011-06-05T14:56:45.600-07:002011-06-05T14:56:45.600-07:00Hello Mr. Mendoza,

I have been contemplating where she would attend middle school for quite some time, and I have actually made an appointment for this coming Tuesday to visit a charter school because of the things that they can offer our students in the wake of the current budget crisis and high stakes testing accountability. While my heart lies with public education, and the public school systems...it breaks because of the limitations we currently face. I am hopeful that our budgetary crisis will improve, yet it might not be realized before my daughter graduates high school. What kinds of schools have your own children attended, and were you happy with the choice that you made in the long run?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593918224514220213noreply@blogger.com
