Our experience has been mostly positive. The girls have had opportunity to do, see, and hear wonderful things. The negatives that come to mind could have been an issue in any schooling system. <br /><br />It frustrates me when I hear blanket statements about any schooling system -they all come with good and bad. That's life! Make the best choice you can make for your kids and move on...but don't spread rumors and propaganda...grrrr. I was terrified of all the bad stuff my kids would be exposed to because - I confess - I listened to some of that trash talk.<br /><br />I'm thanking God with you, and praying too.stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070263353485891308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052617420117689150.post-54124002054602412482010-12-14T06:21:04.649-06:002010-12-14T06:21:04.649-06:00What an exciting post!

We hear a lot about how 'dreadful' the public schools are in USA, and I've always wondered if it was invariably true or not!<br /><br />We are sending our kids to a public school here. For Nat's first year, he had the most wonderful, beautiful, encouraging, firm, fair, Christian teacher I could ever have asked for! We know it won't always be like this, but we love our school! <br /><br />Nat can learn from kids from different cultures and kids with disabilities and he's blossoming. I too thank God for our public school!Givinya De Elbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746896375826415145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052617420117689150.post-6638153602786418372010-12-13T21:52:22.516-06:002010-12-13T21:52:22.516-06:00those are without a doubt the CUTEST pirates I'...those are without a doubt the CUTEST pirates I've ever seen!! ;-)<br /><br />and yay for Ben's team!!Skellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021374799688814697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052617420117689150.post-39436412765429681622010-12-13T21:25:40.254-06:002010-12-13T21:25:40.254-06:00First...this post made me cry.

I am learning to be content with and supportive of my school here and it isn't bad, but I definitely don't have the same feeling here as I did there. <br />Second...my hubby is requesting a better pic of the robot design. Ours didn't do so well at the tournament.Janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05246535374413780243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052617420117689150.post-10183401250467926492010-12-13T20:39:40.360-06:002010-12-13T20:39:40.360-06:00I'm with you Tracy.

I truly feel blessed and feel comfortable sending my girls every day.<br />I love Ben the Engineer. I know he is right at home with robotics. (are we seeing GT in his future) Bethany made the cutest pirate. Glad she got to be in the performance.<br />Do they call them trimesters up there. That is the first I've heard of that. We're on regular two semester years. Although the highschool here does block scheduling so Paige is about to complete her freshman year of Biology and World Geo. Next semester will be Math and English.<br />♥ JoyJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198238631600746173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052617420117689150.post-17001663419198193592010-12-13T17:16:07.508-06:002010-12-13T17:16:07.508-06:00I love your attitude to public schools and think t...I love your attitude to public schools and think that that is a big help to the success of your kids. I went to public schools when we lived in BC and have only the best memories of them. I hope your kids thrive and do well, as I can see they are.Betty Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357132033070346815noreply@blogger.com
