I attended at the school tour again. This was my second attendance. This time I brought my husband and daughter with me.
This time the tour group included a Taiwanese dad, a couple of a Caucasian mom and a Mexican dad, and us, a family of a Navajo dad and a Japanese mom. It was pretty International.
The students too are International. I have seen a variety of races. I like this diversity environment.
During the school tour, one dad asked the school a straightforward question. He asked if they have bullies in school.
I liked the vice principal’s answer.
Her answer was honest. She said yes. She admitted they are not the perfect school yet. But they are working on it and taking a bullying situation very seriously. They have a protocol to deal with a bully. The teachers will work on a bully based on the protocol. After the school make all the efforts on the bully, if the bully still refuses to change his/her attitude, the school will ask the bully to leave the school for other students’ safety.
My husband and I agreed to apply our daughter to this charter school. On last Friday we applied online. And this morning our application was approved. Everything was set.
My daughter still somewhat hesitates for this change. I understand her hesitation. Going to a new school is a huge transition for her. It is a huge transition for my husband and me as well.
The current school has lots of benefits. It is located to close to our house. It is within walking distance. We have gotten to know all the faculties and teachers. There are some downsides too. They will have a combination class with the lower grade for all the way to the 8th grade. The classmates will be the same.
The new school has possibilities for improvements in learning environment. I really hope this new school will serve great for my daughter.
It worth to give it a try anyway. In case my daughter does not like the new school, she still has some other options. She can go back to the old school, or she can take a homeschooling program with the online school. I believe everything will go well for my daughter and us.
