My daughter is still in daycare but I'm definitely paying for private school, I don't care where we end up living. I'm going to look into some charter school as well but they are so new....I'm not sure if they any performance ratings and reveiws online yet.
charter schools are a good option, but they are strict as hell. when I was a kid I went to skinner school, which is the elementary school which feeds into whitney young. and I lived in maywood at the time. hell one of my best friends til this day went there with me, and he lived in maywood as well with his momma working @ whitney young. needless to say they are strict as hell now with that shyt. my moms and my father in law are both retired from the chicago public school system. we are having my oldest daughter take a test to get into the good schools this fall, but that wouldn't take effect til 2014/2015 school year anyways if she were to get in, so in the meanwhile, i'm paying for this next year of private school. the plan is to move to an area with good schools and good area as well, where she can be outside and be a kid and I dont have to worry about these idiots on the streets ya dig? I got two kids,so I need to get this shyt tackled with my youngest being 3 and oldest being 10.
the good suburbs end up taxing the shyt outta u in property taxes. I dont wanna live in an average crib paying 10K a year in property taxes. I'd rather move to a good area in the city and have most of my payments go towards the mortgage instead of something I can't recoup.
and a World-class start.
