Hey brother. My daughter is about to start school and I am not very impressed with the quality of all schools period. Although I am in the south (Georgia), where schools are the lowest performing, I still expect some agreed upon standard of school quality. Schools as a whole have massively dropped in quality due to state run education (common core). I never thought I would send my daughter to a private christian school, but they are the only ones around here with ANY sort of values that they insist on teaching. I have found a school that recommends not letting your child watch tv, or play with electronic devices/phones due to there obvious negative/perverted effect on our society. The kids are taught to work by participating in chores (taking out trash, sweeping, etc,), and if necessary are spanked (with permission/supervision of the parent). They also insist on not sheltering kids from the real world, as this sets them up for failure. When I was growing up I would take that as extremely radical/cult like. Now as I am older and can see the way society is going, this is the type of education that I want my daughter in. It is obviously a private school, and has only 80 kids. The alternative is public school and that is just not acceptable to me anymore with the drop in quality. Its another $400/month investment that I believe will pay off. Frustrating though...
