If you are going to stay there and raise your kids…the surf and skate culture is way cooler than the HS culture…I get it. So that means you really have to instill good values and expectations on the homefront…more so than in “wholesome town, USA.”(which doesnt exist in the southern CA realm) At least I havent found it yet.
I want my kids to know that college THE only option after HS…and so therefore, I would like for them have an abundance of peers who have those same goals. Is there by chance a good christian school in the area?
