Oh I like the idea. Be an ostrich, stick your head in the ground, and hide from the reality that surrounds you. |

to xyz. this is not even worth trying to waste my fingers typing, but as a child maybe a teenager, you have not even had the chance to have the frontal lobe of your brain fully developed this is a fact..when your brain fully matures, and you have a family, and you have been around about 40-50 years. then you can have a say at what is tearing this community apart..until then please do not post anymore,,remember your brain,,the frontal lobe has not even been fully developed..Bye |

That is not a valid response to the facts that have been posted. You asked a question regarding valid research, you did not like my answers, so you denounce. That's ok...but I still want to read the research that the Demo Board conducted. Ignorant? Hee hee...Definition..."Having little knowledge, education, or experience; uneducated, inexperienced. Lacking knowledge in a particular area or matter; unaware." I like the "unaware"! Since I am not a teacher, I do not hold a degree in education, I would not have the biggest impact on my childs educational achievement. Therefore, I would not find it beneficial for my child to be homeschooled. |

xyz.. I have a 7 year old...she will have to change schools every two years until high school.....new school rules. new school building...new bus drivers..(when she had no bus before) And that is EVERY TWO YEARS! Would you like to do that? Did you have to do that? That for me is the real issue here. If they closed my daughters school...and sent her to a new one for k-6..then fine..I have no problem with that. But seriously..how would you like to move every two years? Come on..you have to see that is very flawed? What about these parents that have 4 kids in 4 different schools. How do you participate with every child? That is very tough. We just moved here...and now my daughter who is just getting used to her new school..have to change again..then two years later again...then two years later again...then two years later again...see the pattern here. When all the research tells you..that children need stability and the k-8 model is the best for the kids..then why wouldn't you be upset if your child had to be shuffled around like that? As a parent..you want whats best for your children...if you believe that this plan is the best...then great. But for alot of us...we dont believe so..and we are being forced into something we didnt want and the kicker.....it was already decided and set in place before any of us knew. |

OK, xyz-123.... Maybe the LI will not adversely affect you, but what about, say..... A young, tender-hearted 5 year old who just started out a scary first year in school. All he knows is that he loves Grant, and is just now starting to be comfortable there. Whether my decision ends up being private or public I will put the most positive spin on the change I can, but in the end all my little five year old is going to know is that he is no longer able to stay at his school. In my opinion this is not a good start to a educational career! I am so tired of hearing that children are resilient! Should that give the BOE the right to impose the LI on them just because they are resilient by nature? Let me express again, that not all children are resilient. Not all children are the same! Not all children will complete this process unharmed! |

What percentage of LPS students belong to ACAT, MACAT, CAPA AND MSC programs? Would you say more than 50% of the student population? Don't worry xyz-321.......I'm not interested in running for the BOE |

Simply because you do not have a degree in education does not mean that you do not have the biggest impact on your child's education. No person, other than perhaps a sibling, is closer to a child than their parent. The work ethic that a parent gives their child is more important than anything else a teacher can teach. The work ethic in turn gives the child a desire to learn and to strive for education. |

I think you all underestimate the human ability to adjust to a new environment. I remember moving schools many times in my life. The change was never difficult. In addition, with the exception of a few areas (nothing can ever be 100% perfect) all the students will remain with their old peers. The biggest worry of a student when switching schools is loosing their friends (I say that from experience). Most students won't have that problem. A new building takes maybe a week to adjust to, and teacher changes happen every year. I don't see how a student would be so terrified. |
