Dr. Ruddy is an anti-covid vaxxer who is looking to get rich promoting alternative cancer treatments. Of course that means for the large population of people who are anti government or anti medicine, they take that bait hook line and sinker.

I certainly will not take medical advice from Mel Gibson.

No, there would be zero question if I were in DISD. We’re in Richardson ISD and currently in a Magnet school.

My wife went to Hockaday and then transferred to Highland Park HS. Said she was like 2 grades ahead when she transferred in in 9th grade.

For those of you with experience, is private school worth it? My boys are in elementary school, and my wife really wants to put them in a private Christian school next year. The elementary school they are at now is great, and we have no issues with it. She just thinks the Christian school route would be better. For context, she went to this school and loved it, and she also works there. I just don’t want to drop a couple grand a month on school.

Depends on the public schools around you and their rating.

My daughter attended one of the best Private Schools in America but we pulled her to send her to and beer better Public School top 100 in America.

My son will obviously stay in private because he’s not the brainiac my daughter is

Thank you for posting this thread. It has been a pleasure reading the diversity of opinions from our group, proving once and for all that despite our differences we are all united in our love for the Dawgs.

As a resident secular humanist, I have very defined opinions on this subject, but you would likely not find them useful.

Only you and your family can be the judge of your family circumstances, both social and financial, and only you will make the final choice. If it helps, write up a list of pluses and minuses and see where that takes you. In the end, I am confident you will make the best decision for your family.

Excellent points and I agree completely on the AP stuff. The cap is ultimately a good policy, IMO. Wish it was a state-wide cap to take some pressure off HS students. It's just a race to misery.

My next one is currently a HS sophomore and lives and breathes dance both at BHS with her ballet studio outside of school. Straight-A student already with 4 AP classes, but she's said she's passionate about dance and not interested in taking 10+ AP classes and I'm fully supportive of that. More and more it seems UGA is recognizing the well-rounded resumés in early action.

I may be wrong, but, for early action, UGA only looks at ACT/SAT scores and GPA (recalculated by UGA - which is substantially lower than what the high school says it is). Extracurriculars aren’t looked at by UGA for early action.

Off topic, but does anyone else wonder why sign language interpreters are needed now that closed captioning is automatic? Is that just another example of government waste?
