re: Decided to send all my kids to a Christian private school.

Ive had my two in private school since 1st grade. It’s a painful check to stroke each month, but worth every penny when I know they are in a safe environment. The kids actually compete and push each other to maintain high grades and the same goes for athletics.

What I have seen the last two years is a growing number of black families who have also had it with the failing public school system here, and enrolling their kids. In the past, the stigma of going to the mostly white school has been too much grief. Their friends and families really shun the idea. Some are starting to break the stereotypes and pave the way for other blacks to actually get a quality education in a safe learning environment. They want what’s best for their children just like any loving parent, and are making the financial sacrifice to do it. Enough of the Uncle Tom BS….
I’ve had to make it clear to many local families that still put up a fight for the public schools, by bringing up the racial makeup of the private school. I tell them the private is actually more racially diverse than the public. More Latinos, more middle eastern, more Asian than the public school. They are taken back when you lay it out that way and can’t argue the facts.

Its the only way I would go with my kids.
