The public schools THROW THEM OUT? I never heard of that in California.

YES. They don't like to, because the district has to pay for it.

It's called a non-public school because it's not the same as a private school. We're at the other end. It's NOT a choice, except for some parents who are so fed up with the ineptitude of the public schools AND who somehow manage to find out that we exist AND jump through the district hurdles to get their child here.

You can't handle 'em? Send 'em to me. I can.

Oh, and we don't have a union either.

You're the real heroine here.

I haven't been in our teacher's union for 35 years. Got fed up with them a long time ago.

Too bad the parents associations don't get on those inept teachers. It IS the ineptitude of the individual instructors who turn off the kids.
