I know not all public highschools are like this one. I know some are fantastic. But the idea of sending my DD to this highschool to fit into a notion of how life "should" be seems crazy.
Prama: sorry I misinterpreted you previous post: I agree, education might not be that important to some people... but it is to us too... and quality comes before an ideal.
Deb: Your school sounds great, barefoot and all It's all about self respect. Your students sound like they have it... the kids at my local public highschool do not. If the kids at the local highschool are getting that attitude of being "problems" filtered down from the principal then no wonder!!! Kids become what they are told. I know that at my DD's school she is being told that she is an important member of society with a responsibility to others and that she should try to be resilient to life's challenges, not disenchanted.
