However, many people make shallow arguements for private schools like the one presented in this article (i.e. - leave the dumb and poor kids to the public schools).<BR/><BR/>The truth of the matter is that the American family has been compromised with two parents working, divorsed, uneducated, and otherwise enept at raising children.<BR/><BR/>Let's get real, what we're really saying is, "I don't want my kids going to school with 'Those' kids!"<BR/><BR/>Public schools are bending over backwards to provide a well rounded education for all. However, in a free society, there will be those that do not take advantage of the gifts they've been given.<BR/><BR/>The success of your local public school is a direct representation of your community, its values, and its culture. It is NOT a reflection of the quality of the teachers, administrators, amount of money, newness of the computers, number of textbooks or anything else like that.<BR/><BR/>Instead of paying private tuition, pay for piano, soccer, dance, and art lessons for your kids after school. We all need successful kids and families to stay in our public schools. Let's not add further division in our society between the have's and have not's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-1312249191169323752007-06-25T14:38:00.000-07:002007-06-25T14:38:00.000-07:00In regards to having private schools in Menifee, w...In regards to having private schools in Menifee, well I think that is fine, but basically you are saying if a parent can't afford to pay for the private school, his/her child is left out to the dogs or public schools. I don't think just because a child attends a Private school he/she is smarter or better off. I feel that the schools don't teach like they use to. It is left more now to the parent to help their children, and parents just don't care. There are so many working parents that commute and they are exhausted and just don't make the time to take part in their childs education. I agree with the article in the paper about taking privaleges away if grades are not kept up. Education is very important. A child will not be able to make it in life just because they can play an intrument or excel in sports. These I agree are very important in life, but the education is still needed. I think a child should go to study hall, get tutoring etc, if needed and I believe this is offered at the Middle School. <BR/><BR/>Now days kids have to be self motivated and want to learn. I can see in the work force that kids now days feel they deserve a job etc. Life is tough, and you have to work for what you want in life, whether it is a career, mate, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-35964340296117135572007-06-22T15:13:00.000-07:002007-06-22T15:13:00.000-07:00There is at least one private school in Menifee Va...There is at least one private school in Menifee Valley: Good Shepherd Lutheran School on Newport Road. They run a "traditional" school year which is preferred by many families, especially those with high schoolers. The school operates grades Preschool through 7 for the coming school year, with grade 8 being added for the 2008/09 school year. If you are interested I would urge you to contact the school at 951-672-6675.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
