OT: I hate public schools.

[poorgradstudent]

I refuse to believe that any of these are that different in public vs. private school. The only big difference I can see is that private schools have the option of jettisoning discipline problems quickly, which might help keep the kids in line better. But the schools also want to keep that revenue coming in.

[quote=sdduuuude]Just tell her to ignore the brats, go find the nice kids and play with them. It isn’t that difficult, really.

As for yourself, FLU – do the same with the parents. Don’t focus on all the Carmel Valley social posturing. Just find some nice people and conect with them. I guarantee you they are there.[/quote]

Really excellent advice here! Both for the kids and the adults. These are prerequisites for successfully surviving the CV school scene. Wish someone had told me this back when my kid was in kindergarten–instead we both had to learn by experience.

Another thing to understand is this – as kids enter kindegarten, the school has yet to identify the problem kids that may need special help, behavior programs, auxilary classes, etc. Shools ae blind-sided every year by a new crop of kindergarters who just shouldn’t be in class with the rest of the group and it takes a month or two to identify them, make a plan, convince the parents and get them where they need to be.

America’s medicated kids

Fidgety in class? Drug em. Have the blues? Drug em. Have oppositional defiant disorder? Drug em. Drug em young; drug em old; drug your dog.

How about the conservative way? One lash of cane for a misbehaving incident.

We should let the Catholic nuns run the school system.
