Minute drive from our home. The influence the tech companies have to the surrounding neighboring promote positive energy.
The sad part about having the huge tech businesses that surround us is the little effect of the school system. Back to my old days living in the bay area, I was fortunate to attend a two private schools from K-12. My parents wanted the very best for my education, and I still believe it's important to pass down to my children and their generation. I’m no too fond with the current running of the school district around my area. That’s why paying the tuition for my child is hands down the best invest you can do!
Just like any parent, I would love to see my kids get accepted into the best schools and thrive. Neither my wife or I went to an Ivy League college, but we both earned degrees from top schools at fine institutions.
We believe what's important is that our children are equipped with the right tools and prepared to face challenges of today and tomorrow. And the preparation begins from day 1. Of course, there is no bright yellow brick road to the vaunted path. But we do feel that how we value knowledge, learning, commitment, passion and skill mastery will help our children get there.
My husband and I both agree that the only thing we need to invest is our children’s education as priority number one. From my experience, K-8 helped shaped my personality and lay the foundations on essential core subject. High school is where I learn how to write, and build my math foundations. I went to a college prep high school; the tuition was expensive but the amount of information I receive from this school. Help me get the head of students in college; I was already powering through essays with a breeze. While my peers were struggling learning how to write. Out of high school, I was already in calculus math and ahead of a lot of peers. My college with math academics made the classroom environment a lot easier for myself.
