Sylvan learning centre got enough of my money and was useless.
My kid would end up being a burden to society if I do not pay a crap tonne of extra money to make that not the case (hopefully).
Ideal world and funded right it would be no problem, but I live in the now and the real world and have limited time to correct the ship so that's what I am doing. Danielle can f off and in neverland when its correctly funded I will have my kid in public system. It's never going to happen so why dwell in it like its possible.

We are going to do what is best for our kids if we have the means to do it. I can sacrifice some my my luxuries for the betterment of society, but I will be using the resources I have available to me to make my children have the best chance possible. The entire reason we are in private school is the failures within the public system. We lost all lotteries for Charter schools (other than RT Alderman) and the option was let my son struggle through school with 35 other kids and 1 teacher (who took half a year to provide accommodations) or spend the $$ to get him a better option.
When we did the math on the amount of money we spent on tutoring it was was roughly equivalent to what we are now spending yearly on private school.
I am 100% in support of the teachers here to make things better for all the kids, but I not going back to public school with my kids.
