It's truly a choice every parent must decide for themselves but need to be as informed as possible when making the decision.

I'm with TB. The public school choices for our district did not fit our kids. Evangel has been an excellent fit for our daughter. Our son is in a public magnet school where I teach, and that's a great experience. I am not a huge supporter of homeschooling the masses, but again, you have to take all things into consideration and make the decisions for your family. Though both my children are high achievers, they are very different and so are their schooling needs.

I say do you homework as a parent. Look at the info, talk to parents from schools you are looking at, visit the classrooms, observe the teachers in action - be informed. Then prayerfully decide.

And as in everything, you will find those who agree and those who disagree. That's why there's a church on every corner and thus, this forum flourishes.

I am going to pay my taxes so I will have my child in that school. Now if I need to move to better my children and I did 18 years ago from Shreveport to Bossier then so be it. If someone wants to send their children to private or church school OK by me will just make more room for other students in public schools. I moved after my oldest came home from first grade using black slang in a mostly white school with a black teacher. Case by case I know but the trend did not look good and looking back what a great move.

South Bossier Schools are one of the best kept secrets around. I wonder which one of the private schools is the best kept secret ??

It would appear that each has his/her own opinion about that, and we are all very happy with our opinion. Trying to pick an argument, big cat???
