Dat Boudreaux is smart enough not to flush more money down the public school drain.<br /><br />I have a home in Durham and in Baton Rouge, and I can tell you that while the schools are cheaper in Derm the flavor is not there. I have a daughter in NC who will probably go to public school; if she comes to live with me I will put her in the EBR public schools but only because I am an engaged parent who knows how to work the system: magnet schools such as BRHS and the Gifted and Talented program.<br /><br />The savings in property taxes (they are high as cotton in NC) will make up for the cost of private schools, if required. Plus I get teachers that will listen to what I say and can be fired if they don't perform.KeepDurhamDifferent!https://www.blogger.com/profile/01327155006323446888noreply@blogger.com
