ND: Private School

Why the need to wager? Just prove it.
Here is what I found when searching “Teacher identifying as a cat”. “The hoax became a talking point for conservatives, turning on two key issues: gender nonconformity and educational accommodations.”
I don’t know how to “prove it” on here. But look it up. I live in Orange County, FL. There are at least two teachers at Maitland Middle School and Winter Park High School who identify as animals.
Bro. You literally said you had proof. Your talking points are busted.
You can find the high school teacher’s profile on FaceBook. He came from Duval County in 2018. He identifies as a cat.
No in the Denver area. It’s way worse here than there I’m sure.
And that’s why my kids went to SMM and BMCHS. And that’s probably the best school district in OC,FL.
I’m pretty good at this internet machine and I find it odd that not one article comes up for “teacher identifying as a cat”. Again, until proven otherwise- not true.
Love it! Those are great schools, and we have lots of friends there. And that’s why my kids are at OCS. Some things are more important than money, and I’m thankful we can make the sacrifices to protect them while they grow/develop.

It appears that is his last name and he is a HS Science teacher in Orlando from Duval. Nothing about identifying as a cat. Keep on with the narrative though if you must. BTW- who cares if he does? It doesn't have any impact on students or his ability to teach science. I do find it hard to believe that a science teacher would identify as another animal, but you do you.
My wife grew up in Louisiana so she did private school until college and I did private school until high school, so it was just a natural move for us. OCS is a great school for sure, know some folks who sent theirs there back when and loved it. It was worth the sacrifice to send ours where they went, and I wouldn’t change one thing. Now that they’re in college, we’re really seeing the benefits of our decision.
We are deeply involved in our local high school. It’s not the best and has its own issues! We started our children in private to get small classes and to set the base. Once you set the base you’ll be fine! After 8th grade we let them choose between private or public. One picked private because of the softball program and ended up at Tech, the other two went public ( son ended up at Vandy and daughter ended up at UGA). And what I have learned from still being involved in the public high school is all schools have problems. Private schools are just more expensive problems. Build the base properly and they will be fine in either one.
It’s not up for debate. Whether you believe the doctrine to be true is up to you, but that doesn’t change the definition of indoctrination.
Once again, how are you a teacher?!
If you care to actually follow Jesus’ teachings, he was about the “wokest” human to ever walk the earth.
Wife working there is critical imo and it’s a big deal for her to take her kids to work with her and have her there to take them home. My kids go to a small private school and there’s some disadvantages for us if you want your kids to have great opportunities in sports but there’s less drama and the friendships have been great. My oldest is in her 2nd year at college and I think the homework and rigor paid big dividends in getting ready for college
No disrespect but this is not an accurate take imo. All about what you want and how much you as parents are involved in your kids education. Public schools aren’t bad in our area but wife switched from teaching public to private. First private school offered little to no rigor, 2nd school did
We did the public school route here in Houston County up until Covid. My wife is a teacher and I own a business. Covid made us realize that we could in fact handle home schooling so my wife quit her public school job and now we home school all three. It’s been the best decision we have ever made as a family.
We use a structured curriculum through something called Veritas classical schools. The kids all go to a common location for four hours on Tuesday and Thursday where their lessons for the week are presented by actual retired former teachers then we are on our own to see to it that their work gets done. They utilize a Christian and classical curriculum.
It’s been absolutely wonderful and all three of our kids are thriving and excelling and actually learning things that they never would have otherwise. The thing that blows me away however is how much free time they have now. There is SO MUCH wasted time in traditional schooling situations. They are in a classroom 8 hours a week, then doing real actual work at home another 10-12 hours a week. It also gives us some awesome flexibility to travel as a family and otherwise do things the traditional school calendar doesn’t.

lol, veritas, memoria press are all part of what our kids are taught. If you can send kids to a classical based schools or use their materials, I’m a big fan of them
We were driving up to Athens for the Kentucky game Tuesday night and my nine year old son unprompted asked me about the triple entente and Franz Ferdinand. He has to memorize Robert Frost’s Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening for their poetry recital in front of all the parents later this month. It’s really awesome.
My oldest loved reading the classics and she learned more art than most high schools I would guess. Also on a side note, Highlands Latin School in Louisville is kind of the model for what our school founded itself on. 4 day school and it’s been great
You cannot possibly be falling for that kind of Facebook scammy stuff. It’s the 2020s version of the satanic panic from the 1980s
As an olde, this is one I wish I could go back and do over again. I, like you, didn't see the need to pay for private school when there was a good free option available to me.
As a Christian parent, I did not realize how much school influenced my kids. If I had it to do over again, I would have sacrificed a lot of 'wants' to put my kids through private Christian school or home school them. This and not having more kids is my two biggest regrets in life when I look back.
Having said that, i have family in education in south Georgia. They swear up and down that their schools are not the moral abyss that schools in other areas are but still, I'd rather have no regrets than give my kids over to the government who in large part is trying to destroy/ridicule all the values and moral truths that I want to pass along to the next generation.
My two cents.
Go Dawgs!
Go Army!

I am not on Facebook. I didn’t learn about it on Facebook. I learned about it from a friend whose daughter was in that guy’s class.
I do not care if you believe me. I honestly couldn’t care less.
The point of my post, which got derailed, was that there are plenty of legitimate reasons people choose to send their kids to private religious schools apart from AP/IB programs. It’s a choice my wife and I made, and it was and is our prerogative.
Anyone who disagrees can keep their kids in the public school system. Luckily, in Florida, you get $7-9k per child to use toward essentially whatever school you want.
